LMAO I am in the exact opposite situation.
When I have my family over for dinner they expect me to make rice, potatoes and have bread.
When I dont I get yelled at and they say Just because you are on this diet doesnt mean that your guests are and they dont need to suffer.
I didnt know that making a roast with veggie sides and salad was considered 'suffering' lol
Families are just weird.
I think they are just trying to be helpful.
My biggest problem comes when I go to eat out with other people.
I get really uncomfortable, because I ask 101 questions and feel like it bothers everyone else on the table, and they all look at me like I am a nut.
If you were a vegetarian I dont think they would say something like let down your vegetarian guard for a while and eat some meat.
I think they just dont understand that this is for better health and see it more as a temporary diet, rather than a woe. Eventually they will probably understand. Its difficult for people who dont follow it and understand the reasoning behind it.
It sounds like you are doing great! keep it up!
