So glad you had a better day today - how many more weeks do you have?
Awesome to hear you are back and better than ever.
With your mum, the more times you say "no thanks" when she offers food, the less likely she will offer it to you. Stay strong. If you give in once or twice (like you have done since you've been there) the more often she will keep offering you bad food. This isn't because she doesn't love you, it's because she is trying to love you with food!!
Think back to all your childhood memories... when you hurt yourself did she give you 'treats' to make you feel better? Were all your family celebrations centred around food? She is not sabotaging you on purpose, this is just how it has always been, and I bet the same thing happened when she was little with her Mum. But it's time to break the cycle... keep saying "no" and she will eventually stop offering.
My Mum now asks what I can have and actually cooks food that fits in with my limitations. They have dessert afterwards, Mum will always offer (they have been taught it is rude not to offer remember), but I say "no thanks" and that is the end of it.
My Mum's partner when I was up there on Saturday was eating his dessert and kept saying "Mmmmmmm, nice dessert!!" After about 5 times of this, I pulled up my shirt, rubbed my hand over my abs and said "Mmmmmmm, nice abs!!" He never said it again... LOL!!
So just stay strong!! She is not doing it to tempt you off-plan, this is just how it has always been, and how she's been taught to share. In the past you have always shared food like that with her, and it is probably her way of getting and staying close to you. Take her out for walks and talki with her and show her that their are other ways of sharing time with you.
Keep going Kat, you're doing awesome!!

i feel like i'm doing awesome...then some home made sausage roll come out and i had a bit of that... then the home made spring rolls came out and i had a bit of that too! agghh rae!
I have 4 weeks to go. this time is critical.... these stuff ups are going to ruin me! what do i do? I have done 2 lots of cardio today and a weights session....i go so hard then let temptation break me down. The worsed thing is that i am feeling really unsettled here, it is a really unhealthy environment, lots of smoking (in the house) and coffee drinking and BAD BAD food. I have done really well knocking stuff back.... but i could have done better. I'm going to go do some reading. My head is all over the place right now.... i need to get refocused!
Every time bad food comes out, before you take a bit or take a bit off the plate, just pause for a second and make a concious effort to ask yourself this question...
"Is this food going to add to my results and get me closer to my goal, or destroy them and take me further away?"
If you stop before you take something and make yourself aware of the ramifications of taking whatever it is, then there is a less likely chance you will go for some of the bad food. Just try it and see if that helps :)
