Message: <blockquote data-quote="MikeTurin" data-source="post: 1272076" data-attributes="member: 318833">Hello to all, I think I've a problem because after a successful period of weight loss I started to slowly ad steadily gain weight again.I think that sometimes I'm self sabotaging my diet, going to, say, buy ice cream and then instead of stopping the thing, I'll continue to eat something other for instance peanut butter or peanuts or fruits.I've noticed that I could mitigate it with a rigorous calorie counting, weighting all what I eat or using an app to scan bar codes of prepackaged food.Unfortunately I have two saboteurs. One is the easier to cope with and is that the local canteen, that tries to put potatoes everywhere and in general makes really heavy seasonings. The problem is solvable going to eat somewhere else or taking only salads, but "unfortunately" they make good foods, especially fish. I'm not sure of the calories of what they're making. The proble is solvable of course ging to eat somewhere else or buy something at the mall, or going to McDonald and take the Mixed salad menu.The other it's harder and it's with my relatives, especially my mom. I've noticed that when I or my brother are going to eat at her, she makes always bigger portions that the one she makes for her or mu dad. Also she prepares to me different food than the ones she and my dad are eating an then offer me and then offers me the same food she prepared for them. I've said that I can eat the same thing they are eating but she still prepares a lot of "diet" food especially for me. If I don't eat it she packs it and give me to take home.Also she buys a lot of vegetables and gives them to me, that is a lesser problem, because when they spoils I throw them in the trash. The problem is to convince her that I don't need so much food because I I always eat outside home at noon, and being polite at this, and the convince her that I don't need special food and I could eat anything, and that eating 30 grams of dark chocolate, that I enjoy, doesn't mean I'm starving and I need 1 kg of salad and 300 g of meat, but simply I like some sweet. If I am proposing a low carb almond muffin, doesn't mean that I'll happliy eat half a cauliflower instead, and so on.I need some advice to resist to the self-sabotage and to politely stop my mom to give me a lot of food.Maybe I've ranted to clear my ideas, maybe I need some tricks.</blockquote>
