wow...that was pretty hard of you (I am not angry or anything, just a bit taken aback!).Thanks for being honest though... I absolutely tolerate many eating decisions that my parents make that I do not ethically approve of. things I would never dream of feeding them. this was a case of one thing after another and endless junk. its an issue with us and I am a great respectful daughter in every other way and they should be sensitive to it - I am sensitive to their principles (like keeping kosher etc). I do not lecture him ever. Never say anything. Today was the first words we had exchanged on his eating habits for a year and a half and believe me, its my profession, so its not easy to control my mouth but I never want to lecture anyone. So yes, everyone has their weaknesses, my husbands is coke, and I never flutter an eyelid because I know everything else he eats is good. but when it reaches a point of three thousand weaknesses, what am I supposed to do? Of course your family still love you irrespective of weight. When did I ever say I love my father any less because of his weight? or because of his food choices???? this is all BECAUSE I love him so much. I do not police what everyone eats....I am a great cook and baker and make so many different types of food...many of them I can't even think of digesting...I make a point of not handing out any advice to anyone about how they eat UNLESS they actively ask me. I know how sensitive people can be about their eating habits. You sound a little sensitive about your diet cokes for example!
