Re: Agh! What do I do?
Ok - I'm a pro at insulting my in-laws
It's taken awhile, but they never listened to me anyway so now I just say it like it is. Sorry - it took me 12 years to assert myself with them to the point they almost left (dang it...) my husband did make me apologize but still (all that was over an extra hot dog my son wanted)
Tell them that you appreciate that they want to serve "whatever" but your health is more important to you than a piece of cake (which I would jokingly say "and the extra piece that would be snuck a few hours later).
My mom was giving me little "but it's only t-giving...." phrases and finally gave up and told me into talking to my brother about how I am losing weight. It takes awhile and I am bringing some of my own stuff for dinner but it will work.
And yep - my b-day is a few weeks away (I think it's my 35th!! UGH).... and I am not planning on having cake and ice cream and all that yummy stuff. I might just make myself something I can have and everyone else will just have to deal with it. So don't worry about it too much or else you'll end up more stressed than you need to be
