[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 358072, member: 1991"] TM, even aside from the diet and need to keep steady with the weight loss, the IBS attack is one more BIG reason to stay clear of junk food. Oh boy, do I know this one! The whole "One little biscuit won't hurt," routine. My mother-in-law would serve up large slab of sponge cake and say, "It's OK, it's mostly air." Yeah, air - held together with sugar, flour and eggs... I think it comes from an era when weight loss was a hobby, not a necessity for life (for some of us). I think that is what steams me - frivolous comments making light of it and jokingly sabotaging the diet (as if it is a game) devalue all the efforts as well as ignore the vital need to lose weight for some of us. It's like saying, "your life doesn't really matter to me, not as much as my needing to be appreciated for my culinary efforts." mother in law is pretty good these days (compared to before) but some friends still sabotage and it gets me really cranky.
