I had surgery three days ago.... And my family has literally cooked almost all of my favorite foods in front of me...eaten them in front of me... And it's nothing to them. I realize that I can't keep them from eatin what they want to eat.... But GOD seriously? Is it crazy of me to wish they had some consideration? I am currently sitting on the couch across from my family while they're eating tacos and chips with my mom's home made guacamole... Which happens to be one of my favorite meals. Is it stupid that I want to cry? Is it always gonna be this hard or will I become tougher over time? Help!

I still have to cook for my stepkids or they would be eating out all the time. It is hard and it seems like it will never get easier, but I have learned that the people on this forum are the best people to come to for advice. they are just like everyone else, struggling to create a better lifestyle for themselves. When your family eats in front of you, leave the room. Until you can eat with them, it is just going to make you cry. And you may not be able to eat what they do for a long time.
