Re: In-laws and parents! UGH!!!!!       11/02/04 07:51 AM Edit Reply Quote renaanne Reged: 09/19/04 Posts: 86 Loc: Marietta, GA I agree with avoiding the word "diet". Diet has all of these negative connotations. Really it doesn't matter what you tell family, they really are trying to be helpfull even if it seems ridiculous what they come up with! I had a hard time when I was nursing because my girls were dairy/soy intolerant. Nobody understood why I couldn't eat certain foods, made my own bread, and stayed so thin. I heard so many comments about how skinny I was and how they wished they were skinny. I wouldn't ever consider going up to someone that was overweight and going on and on about how BIG they are, so why is it OK to go on about how skinny I am. I really was not comfortable in my own skin at the time. I've gained some back and look normal now. My in-laws still don't get it! This diet is very similar to my nursing diet. I would just tell them the doctor told you to avoid these foods and give them a list! Or invite them for dinner and serve them a wonderful meal and tell them that everything you made were things you could eat and watch their mouths drop open!
