[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2477708, member: 372207"] I would definitely not put it as harsh as [USER=85197]@zand[/USER] did, I don't do well on scare tactics. If any doctor tried them on me they would be fired right away, as it would only serve to make me angry and stubborn. I did wonder why you chose a meal with both bread and spaghetti though. If I find I hadn't made enough sauce, in this case bolognese, this is easily solved by adding onions, carrots, cabbage (all very cheap options if this plays a role) or more meat or extra cheese (or both) without adding more carbs by way of bread. Would it help for you to think on how to adjust your meals in a way to not go hungry, but also eat a bit less carbs? It's not all that difficult to cook sensible meals, but it does take some practice, and we're happy to share our tips. Would your parents be willing to be a bit more supportive if you asked them? It's fine if they want to eat, but making pancakes makes the whole house smell of them, making it very hard to not eat them. Why would you make pancakes if you know someone in the house is trying to diet? Do they know they make it very difficult for you to take care of your health if they do things like this? Not saying they should join you in your food plan, but they could have opened a bag of crisps in the other room if they wanted a carby and fatty food. [/QUOTE]
