Holidays, Family, Emotions

[Guest guest]

I think next year I will go on vacation for Christmas!

I got my mom a yogurt maker because she asked for it, only to find out that she

wants it for her lap band surgery, for which she has made an appointment, and so

I apparently was not successful in trying to talk her out of it.

My grandmother said that I shouldn't need any lunch breaks today (working 13

hours) because, after all, I SIT at my job (translation--you are lazy and don't

need any more food). She also tried to tell my mom that she wouldn't need the

lap band surgery if she would just be more strict with her eating (mom has been

starving herself off an on for decades). My mom was crying about lack of

willpower (but would never want to hear the truth).

And, to top it all off, I picked the wrong soup. On christmas eve my (other)

grandmother always makes chicken and dumpling soup and clam chowder and I picked

chicken and dumpling...and then wasn't hungry enough for clam chowder. I want

the clam chowder! I feel cheated! LOL

Anyone else sometimes disappointed when you aren't hungry? Anyone else deal

with nasty food issues this holiday season?

I didn't eat for emotional reasons, only ate when hungry, save for a couple

pieces of fudge...but that's normal, right? So I am grateful for that.

Just...driven nuts, lol.
