...chubbed me up.? I'm twenty-five. Seriously. A 25-year old guy. But my mum seems hell-bent on feeding me up something fierce. Having been beaten down quite heavily financially, I was forced to return back home until I find my financial feet, and this may seem trivial, but it's driving me nuts.
At university, I did lose quite a lot of weight. At between 5 foot 7 and 5 foot 8, I weigh somewhere in the region of 120-122lb now but it dropped at one point to around 110; this was due to the fact I was scraping by doing my Honours Degree and had only just enough.
Mum, however, has seized this chance to attack me with food, but this is actually causing me to avoid her meals. I am continuing my studies with my Masters now, and I'm commuting to my university (hour and a half train ride). This means that if I finish at five, I'll pick up a sandwich and maybe a couple of bananas or something, and eat it on the train. But when I return home, mum will state that she's made a dinner, and this will result in a) her accusing me of "Starving myself like before" or b) me trying to force part of a second dinner to appease her.
Now, you'll say, "What the hell, you're an adult, just say no!" - but the thing is, I've been an overweight kid up until college, then dropped weight off at university, and it has literally broken my mum with worry - she's had a stress-related stroke. This makes me feel like I'm walking on eggshells.
But still, I've put on 3lb in as many weeks from overfeeding and it's making me feel sick, moreover as my weight's been all over the place I'm very body-aware.
Any advice? (PS sorry for the insanely long question).
