Before I explain the situation, I just wanna say that I am NOT badmouthing my mom in any way. I love her, she's a great mom and I'm very grateful to have her.
So the problem: I'm trying very, very, VERY hard to lose weight, but I feel like she is not being very, well, supportive. She buys lots of junk that all my siblings eat in front of my face. She also makes very high carby foods that I am not supposed to be eating for 1. Losing weight and 2. They will hurt my stomach really bad. When I tell her she can make whatever she wants and I'll make my own lunch, she either gets annoyed or pressures me into eating whatever it is she made. It's hard for me to stand up to her cause she does so much for us and I feel too ashamed to put my foot down about the situation. If she wants to buy junk food, fine, I can avoid that. But I wish she would let me make my own meals without making me feel guilty. Is she holding me back, or am I just making excuses?
