The really upsetting thing is, my mum is a big lady and really wants to lose weight. She trys so hard and has been on one diet or another for the last 25 years. She started Rosemary Connelly last week, and she said she did really well. She stuck to it for 5 days and then because she had done so well she treated herself to fish and chips on Sunday! (I dont think thats much help) but I cant say anything to her.

I said to her whilst eating last night,

"you do realise there is a really easy way to help you diet"
and she said
"dont cook so much food?"
to which i said
"yes".

She then accused me of being horrible to her! I can't win, I wasnt being horrible to her, she was the one who came up with the "cooking less food" thing. She also will not try Atkins because she thinks its bad for you. We have had countless conversations about it, but everything i say falls on deaf ears.

It really is quite upsetting.
