@@ameme IMO its good that now you aren't craving this yummy food you don't want to eat that "nasty" heavenly food not wanting to eat stuff helps being around all that food i do understand it might be frustrating to see all that food around the table it is hard being around people that are eating and eating and eating more you are the one that is adapting to a new life with less food etc they don't need to change, you can't expect them to buttttt... they could be more considerate!! you "sound" like a youngun take your own portion, don't let mom over stuff your plate other people are good at that try and keep your head up gently remind people about your situation some might care - others might say yeah your point take care hun try and keep your spirits up while your weight goes down good luck bud kathy
