My sister in law just emailed me and the
rest of the family asking everone to come to her house
for the football playoffs on Saturday. Luckily I work
out on that day and I'm going to have to think of an
excuse that sounds really honest. Just another excuse
for one of thier pig-out fests and she(sister in law) had no trouble
mentioning how much food there would be there either.
I had a feeling that once hubby's mother and sister saw
me after the weight loss that that's EXACTLY what
would happen and I was dead on. Of course they'll try
to put me on a guilt trip for not going to this
craptacular but honestly my nerves could never handle
it. I almost cried when I saw her email and almost
started to have a panic attack. Christmas day with them was bad enough my mother in law was using every chance she had to try to fatten me up. A lovely,civilized & rational way for a 70 year old woman and her 46 year old daughter to act. Don't you think? I am very proud that I could lose the 40 + pounds since last February without throwing up and I was sad when I slipped at Christmas when I had to go over there but there was so much food it was overwhelming and mother in law made sure to get hubby a big box of chocolates as a gift(knowing her hoping I'd eat half the box). I will be 40 in May and I've been bulimic for 20 years and by the grace of God still have my teeth and my health. I'm desperately trying to stop throwing up and have been successful up until Christmas day when I had to spend it with them. See, They use every excuse they can for a pig-out fest and to me, someone with an eating disorder,especially after successfully losing over 40 pounds the healthy way for which I'm so proud of and I know I don't wanna ever gain that weight back, It's my worst nightmare. I'll look forward to the moment whenI finally get to see my new therapist to help me out with this crap that I have to deal with. Did I also mention that they are all morbidly obese and the father in law(Who also badgers me to eat eat eat cause God forbid I should be small) is on some 35 + medications for just about every health problem known to man. I hope you all dont think that I'm putting down the obese, I was just pointing out the fact that they dont care enough to take care of thier problem and they think that it would be easier to fatten me up than it is for them to lose weight.It's also their attitude that they have had towards me for the last 10 years. I am finally in my weight range and very proud of what I have accomplished and dont wanna keep hurting myself like this so I can't even have that kind of temptation right now cause I haven't recovered from this. Thanks of listening guys. This really freaks me out that his family are careless & severely compulsive overeaters . I'm scared
