pcsqueen,
Good luck! My mom's favorite game is "Why are you so fat? Here eat this chocolate pie I made you. It's your favorite." Then she wonders why I am ready to scream! Before my last visit, I explained Atkins and what I could eat and told her to fix whatever she wanted for herself and I would take care of myself and family if her stuff didn't work. Of course, she didn't believe me, but I walked in with a cooler full of Atkins friendly food and when she tried to serve pasta and fresh homemade bread I just smiled and opened my cooler and fixed my own. You can do it. Hang tough. If we keep on plan, someday they might see the light! I'll be thinking about you.
