I need to bitch.
My mother has seen my results in controlling my hypothyroidism. She's seen my weight go back to where it should be, my energy skyrocket, and all that jazz. We have the same variety and she's been bugging me to help her do the same thing. My mom is a carb freak. I've told her that if she wants to do this, she'll need to quit all the grain stuff and pick up more veggies. She agreed to it. I drew her up a 3 week meal plan that worked with my father's low fat diabetic BS, to an extent (he won't hear me on primal, so I leave him alone,) said follow this and DON'T EAT GRAINS!
She called me several times that first week, asking if she could have biscuits/ syrup/ peanut butter/ whatever. I gave her the answer. The calls stopped during the second week. I figured she'd given up and gone back to her grains. 6 months later, I got a call.
"Your plan isn't doing anything for me!"
"What have you been eating?"
"Toast for breakfast, [sugary low fat yogurt] and fruit for lunch, and whatever your dad fixes for dinner."
"Including the noodles or rice or whatever?"
"Well, yeah."
"Mom, what did I say about low fat, bread, rice, and sugar?"
Silence.
"Mom?"
"I put all that back in so I could eat like a normal person."
"Then you'll look like a normal person and your thyroid will stay fucked up."
"I was following your diet plan, though, I just added that back in."
"And destroyed the entire idea behind it. Either follow it right or give it up and go back to whatever you were doing."
[insert guilt trip from Mom]
"Bye, Mom."
*click*
Last time I help her with her health, I swear.

Oh hey all, not to thread-jack, but for people who love bitching about the ironic/frustrating things in paleo life (and celebrating the successes) i just started a paleo-themed gif-response tumblr:

What Should We Call Paleo Life

I believe it is relevant to our interests in this thread especially.

The problem is, if you're slim they'll say you can eat that way because you're lucky (or have good genes, are young, etc.). If you're fat, they won't believe you even if you've lost 100 pounds already or have overcome a serious health condition. No win.

You're exactly right. nobody remembers when I was fat, and it was only a year ago. I always get those "oh, you're skinny, you can eat whatever you want. Or, you have good genes". Once in a great while I'll ask some one, "do you remember what I looked like when I got here?" Nobody does. How soon they forget.

Right after I dropped 40lbs I moved halfway across the country. No one would believe how much I lost until I pulled out my phone with the "Before" pictures on it.

I moved across the country and started this WOE within 3-4 months of getting here. This month makes 1 year primal for me, and I gotta pull out pics on my phone once in a while too. Even with proof, it really doesn't shut 'em up though.

Personally, I can't wait until no one can remember what I looked like before. In fact, I fully intend to look like a completely different person so that no one who knew me before even recognizes me anymore. This has already been partially achieved by cutting all my hair off and wearing different clothes and being 60lbs smaller. But I won't be satisfied until I can walk by people I used to know and they don't even realize it's me.

Basically, that part of my life is completely over with and I want a clean and complete break.

When I'm skinny, if anyone ever tries to argue that I have "good genes", though, I'm probably going to crack the fuck up into peals of absolute hilarity.

Doncha just love that classic line, "Well, you're just lucky. You must have one of THOSE metabolisms." Yes, I have that metabolism BECAUSE I eat this way.
