can anybody help? i really love being raw and eating what i want-my mum is very easygoing about it but this weekend i am going over to my dads (who doesnt know) so i eat what theyve made -im doing really well in losing weight- not sure if its psychological but my appearance seems to change even after 1 cooked meal- its just not worth it and i feel less confident- i feel like telling him but not sure how. in chinese culture food is a Huge thing and eating is a must!
plus my cousins wedding is coming up all guests are staying a couple of days- i want to eat what i want but again the chinese culture thing will be in force(food will have been decided) and wel prob be invited for breakfast dinner and tea with them so no escaping- my uncle especially i think is going to give me a hard time- he never shuts up about when i went vegetarian nevermind telling him what i am now- am seriously considering not going-
so feel if i dont tell these people i will have to cut myself off which i dont want to- we all have our own lives i feel, we should feel free to do what we all want and i wouldnt tell others what they should eat
what can i say? thankyou
Comments
yes i kind of do have to stay as the wedding venue is pretty far away- thanks everyones comment is helping- we are totally in control of what we put in OUR bodies and we should respect whatever each other eats and way of life-
thankyou i really appreciate it. il try and stay strong, not make a deal about it and not mention im raw unless someone asks. il take avocados. sisterbecky i will try and use your suggested response. i know my uncle will zone in on what im eating. the funny thing is, is that he demands respect from everyone- no one dare answer him back- not even his kids or my dad- yet doesnt give us respect- il just say i prefer to eat salads and stuff -
its in a few months the wedding so will write what happened
i went to the wedding- and spent a few days there- i managed to stick to what i wanted to eat- my uncle as expected made a show and annnounced hey everyone lets watch her eat-i was upset- then other comments of rabbit food were later made-i felt pretty mad! so pleased i ignored him and stuck up for myself-the waiter at the wedding dinner was so kind and customised every item - he changed the whole set menu thing and brought alternatives-and so i made it thru
thank you
