Every night... She brings them home every night.

just smack her!!!! tell her to stop it!!! lol

so, what's her son doing about this? Smack him silly she won't change. Trust me, was there am not now kick some tail!

Poor thing... Omg!!

That's so wrong!!

That's so hard at 1st seeing all the goodies. After a while it won't bother you. If I really crave or want a slice I eat half a slice & not even cuz I'm sharing with my 2 year old but the urge goes away. I have Also passed on a Lot of pizza & I'm mentioning this because I love love love love pizza. But nothing feels so good as been thin & a size 4

Throw em down and stomp all over them...she might get the hint then. Seems extreme but apparently she doesn't get it.

I think it is time for a come to Jesus meeting as they say. When I started my journey my husband and I had a long talk about sweets. I always felt when I was succeeding in my diets he would bring home some sweets and then say well just have self control and leave them alone. Hubby has never had weight issues. I was about one month post op and he brought home a chocolate pie. I would typically keep things bottled up with something like this, but we sat down and I said this is what I am talking about. It finally hit home and we had a talk about what sweets he could bring home. I hate coconut and he loves it. So he brought home coconut pies.

I tell you that story because in order to be successful you must have the support of family. There will be a time when she can bring those cookies home again, and you will not want them, or can tolerate a small little bit and be satisfied. However right now you need support during this transition period.

Stand up for choosing to be healthy and happy! You deserve it!!!!

Thanks for the support ladies. I've talked to her and husband and they do.not.get.it. They won't change, and neither have weight problems. I'm just so hungry and have a headache and am just in the mourning food stage.

I understand they do not get it. My husband does not get it, but he realized this was important to me and supported me by not bringing in things that would tempt me.

Please speak to them again. Come from the angle of you may not understand it, but as my love ones and family this is what I need right now. Then lay out what you need from them. I am 5 months post op and I could not have come this far without the support of my husband. I do to want to scare you, but many people wind up divorced after surgery because they realize that their spouse was not supportive. Maybe seeing a counselor with them will help. You do not have to understand weight issues to offer support!

I would throw then out when everyone is sleep!

Clairpooh! That would be hilarious! And deny knowing anything about it... Lol!

I would throw then out when everyone is sleep!

Sounds like something I would do lmbo

I agree, every night just toss them out the window. What they are doing is no different than bringing vodka into the house while you in AA.
