Geeze, my mom almost cried when I went over for dinner and wouldnt eat the stuffed peppers. "But there isnt anything fattening in here, its all good stuff"...

I told her the rice just isnt good for me, my body doesnt cope well with it and its one of the reasons I have gained so much weight over the years.

The look of disappointment on her face nearly pushed me over the edge, but then I just said "arent you happy for me that I am feeling better" and she did a complete 360!

Before I left, I told her next time she can make leg of lamb and I will dig in!
