when i tell someone that is already going to the grocery store (my mom) and i give her a specific food list to buy and brings back the complete opposite.....


for example i had on my list

-1 Cottage cheese Non Fat
-green salad mix
-chicken breast
-sliced turkey breast
-Fish
-eggs
-1 gallon of water

And she brings back

-3 cottage cheese pineapple flavored
- A shit load of ready frozen meals like about 10
-1 Case of Snapple
-1 case of diet coke
and more random stuff


when i tell her i cannot really eat none of this she got all pissed off at me which i think makes no sense because i kept telling her calling her and telling her only items on the list then she would ask me if i wanted something else i would say no .. So when she got home i was like er i really cannot eat this she got pissed and got mad at me saying i made her spend all her money on stuff i wasn't going to eat.

this happens frequently >.> so yea i just wanted to put this out there don't know if others have this problem also but this pisses me off.

Does she even understand your goals and what you're trying to accomplish? Does she just not care? Have you had a heart to heart with her to explain how important this is to you and you really need her help on this one, and how much it would mean to you?

Tough spot to be in! Can you go with her or even get her to give you money to go shopping for your own food? Then again if you stop eating that food and it sits around the house and goes bad, then maybe she'll stop getting for you? Sounds like a debacle. You do need her help though! I agree with William, try to have a serious talk with her maybe?

I'm in a similar predicament and believe me when I say I've talked to my mom. Running away from a problem won't exactly solve it, so I have decided not to go with the second option.

Let us know what you decide to do wbout your family, new (realistic) suggestions are appreciated

Way to stand up to them. As I mentioned earlier, their feelings aren't more important than your life and your well being. Good for you, and keep up the good fight!
