She went out and brought this, supportive !

Lowercase the IMG, and it should work. :)

You babe! Thanks :D xx

No problem!

And what is that all about, I thought I was struggling with a load of tiny peanut butter cups in the fridge. D: But that's just unfair!

Tell me about it! No one else eats it, so it just stares at me.

I think that parents sometimes get scared when their children want to lose weight. I'm not sure why - it's just an overall impression from reading the forums. If she's not going to eat it, stick it in the freezer and tell her you don't want it handy, lying about. If it's in the freezer, it minimally has to thaw before you can eat it. Maybe that will help you abstain and get the point across.

Aww poor show Mother! That's tough. How much will-power have you got?

Here is a novel idea. Buy your own food.

HATE when that happens. My boy and the women I work with are the biggest culprits! I now have a Big Texas Cinnamon Roll staring at me as my 'reward' for good grades.

Thanks for your novel idea, very useful to me.

No one is going to help you but you.

Your mom probably feels threatened by your wanting to be fit. If I were you I wouldn't even mention it to her again, just quietly mind your diet and quietly go about your exercise. When she offers you/buys you junk, just say No thank you and leave it at that.

People on the forums can help with legitimate advice, Pg3lbew.

I feel your pain completely!! My mum is exactly the same. And I may have reached a breakthrough in the situation!
My mum is a bit of a health freak but like everybody she falls off the wagon now and again.
Today she brought out a big pack of biscuits and everytime she ate one, she tried to make me eat one.
When I asked her why she was trying to forcefeed me she said "if you overeat, it makes me feel less guilty when I overeat".

She doesn't want to feel like a failure.

take it back to store get money back on it. Save money up to give back to your mom later. Or throw it away. No one really needs it. If she asks then say I ate it.

Yeah why is that? My mum loves me to bits and couldn't do enough for me...... but HATES it when I go to the gym, gets cross when I refuse a cream cake and positively refuses to listen to my 'healthy weight' goals???

???

Did anyone just think maybe she wants to grumble a bit about her mum not being supportive? I'm sure she can make her own decisions about what she is going to eat and if she wants to go buy her own groceries, etc. :)

I'm sorry OP that your mum is not being supportive. :( That really sucks.

Someone mentioned that parents freak when their children want to lose weight. I think it has to do with the fact that most parents do not like their children to feel badly about themselves and think that the motivation to lose weight comes from an unhappy place. I know that my parents tend to feel guilty if they think that something they did in raising me, or they contributed to, makes me feel poorly later on.

She just might be trying to reinforce that you are perfect the way you are and are free to love yourself (and thus can eat whatever you want), and not really trying to sabotage if that makes sense? Maybe you can sit her down and explain that you are not unhappy with how you are, but you'd like to improve your health and wellness. :) That might help ease her fears if that is where they are coming from.

Luckily, my mum and dad are very supportive and buy me my own groceries separate from the family, if they are the ones that go shopping (I often go myself). They ask me if I am low on any of my healthy staples and my dad even reads labels and tries to bring me new stuff home. :) I don't know how I would handle them if they were doing the opposite of that :/ It must be hard.

Try having a chat to her, ask her if she minds you putting the cake in the freezer so it doesnt go off and you can enjoy it slice at a time, or take it to share with mates so you don't end up binging on it. .... if the worst comes to the worst ask her for a shelf in the fridge and to give you an allowance every week for food, then do your own cooking and meals. Its hard but it might make her realise that your more in control than she realises :( good luck and hope you manage to resist all the temptation she is giving!

Thanks for all the positive responses. Yes, I should be extremely grateful that my parents buy me food however I can't afford to buy my own. So I have to eat what they buy me, so thats not an option.

Next time I just won't mention the diet :D

This is my mum!

If no one else eats it I would kindly ask your mother for the receipt and return every item while explaining to her WHY you are returning them.

If that doesn't work or mom gets attitude (hey, it does happen) I would promptly open each container, again WHILE explaining to her why, and dump the open container in the trash.

Hey do what ya gotta do!

Have you asked her why, or do you already know? Maybe she actually cares about your health and feels you would be harmed by dieting? I have no idea your situation or over/underweightness but as a mother I can't imagine any other reason she'd sabotage you.

That is just plain mean!

Throwing it out is just as childish as the mother buying it in the first place. In fact, it is MORE childish.

Mom can buy whatever food she wants and have whatever food she wants in the house. If someone wants to have total control then they should get their own place and buy their own food. Otherwise, you deal.
