McDonald's run

This morning on my way to my Mom's she calls and asks me to stop at McD's for her. She wants 2 Sausage McMuffin's and a small coffee. I ask why 2? She tells me "because I want them, one today and one for tomorrow."

Ok, no biggy. I stick by my personal NO drive-thru rule and walk in to get her food. My brother calls just after I ordered and asks where I'm at? McDonald's I say "UM HUM" he says. OK look, I tell him,  it's not for me you jerk, I don't eat this crap, it's for Mom, she wanted it. The guy behind the counter then looks at me funny ... oops, didn't mean to say that so loud!

I get to Mom's and she says "Don't you want one?" No thanks Mom!

It never ends. The food pusher and the watchers never stop.

Is this the same person who commented about what you were eating at the Japanese steakhouse a few months ago?  What a jerk!  Just all the more motivation to keep on keeping on!

Yes, you have a good memory. On his behalf I will say he was just teasing me this morning. He does know I refuse to eat McD's. He was more shocked than anything that I said I was there.

It was more my Mom, the ever loving food pusher, wanting 2 McMuffin's, I just knew she wanted me to eat one.

I totally agree with your frustration about food pushers. It sounds like your Mom may be assuaging her guilt by having you participate too. Sort of like kitchen sink calories - If I eat it over the sink it doesn't count.

Last night the guys wanted BK fast food. I either had to go with the grilled chicken salad w/o dressing or else cook just for myself. ARGH.

I feel so bad for you that you have to be subjected to it at all.  Don't you wish we didn't ever have to tell any of them?  I do.  I think If I did it again, I would just go away for a week (pretend I am on vacation) and have it done. Never tell anyone but my significant other.  The others are constantly watching and asking how much have you lost?  It does seem to put alot of pressure on me.  That part I don't like.  Anyway....chin up.  We are here for ya.

My mom is also my pusher she opens a can of soda in front of me and i tell her i cant have it.
Her reply is alittle wont hurt you..What
When they come up for Sunday dinner she gets upset if i dont eat alot,she says that i need to eat..you know the starving kids in China line that i lived with all my life ..(clean your plate)..
I understand totally about everything..
Sounds like your mom is feeling alittle better..

When I was 8, my sister and her evil husband were babysitting me.  He was one of those clean your plate kinda people and he made that awful canned chinese food. Their 3 kids, all about my age, were choking it down and crying.  I refused.  He tried that starving kids in China line on me and I said "I will use my allowance to ship it to them, then.  I 'm sure they will like it better than I would!" and he was SO mad I spent the entire day in the corner.  But, I didn't have to eat that garbage!

I am really sorry you guys have to deal with this.  I did not tell anyone but my Dad, husband and about 4 close friends about my surgery.  I am just now telling people.  But I am a LOT meaner than you guys....I think everyone is afraid to say anything to me.

I get a lot of "How are you doing?"  They don't specifically ask about the WLS.  I just say, fine.  I warned them all early out....if another person says..."Well, it will all be worth it in the end, right!"  I was going to kick them in the head. 

My Mom is SOUTHERN!  You talk about a food-pusher! She means well, but it still kills me.  I am considering skipping the family reunion this year.  I don't know if I can handle her multiplied by about 40!

I am 61. I  remember holidays at Grandma's if you did not eat 3-4 PLATEFULS she thought something was wrong. Times were so different then. My big family now still eats at fast food places, I get salads or chili at Wendy's/ But I make them think when I order healthy; so they really don't like it. But I KNOW what is best for me. I do not want to KNOW if I can eat a no no what would deter me from eating it all the time? Thats why I had the surgery. People that are food pushers secretly wish they could say no to no's,no's
Just smile say I have to eat healthy.
