Sorry I took so long to reply
.
I spend as much time as possible in my room where I have no internet access, or out helping with shopping etc. at the moment so not much time for the internet (and consequently work...
).
She's told me off about my eating every day since I've got home, but not in the ways that one might expect. Apparently I'm "eating too much" (when I never go over 1000kcals a day, which she would notice if she was actually paying attention - she's just saying it because she knows talking about my eating upsets me).
I'm also "drinking too much tea", "eating too many eggs", "too much chicken", and "can I please stop eating 2 babybels per day because they're expensive" (£3 per week).
She was complaining that's it's difficult to cook for me because she doesn't know what I'll eat, so I wrote her up a comprehensive list, basically saying "no bread, pasta, rice, potatoes; everything else fair game" and it's still "too confusing", and she's purposefully buying french bread and starchy vegetables to try to "tempt me". She can't seem to her head around the fact that I'm eating exactly the same food as everybody else, I just want more meat and vegetables instead of pasta.
Today we had soup and when I politely declined the bread she huffed and didn't have any either.
It's not a ****ing competition. It genuinely feels like she's jealous of me and has to keep putting me down.
Then again, this is the woman that still thinks colds and flu are caused by cold weather rather than viruses, and also apprently thinks it's possible to OD on chicken.
So along with those lovely comments of me eating too much and too often, which have deflated me very effectively, she was doing ironing when my dad and I were watching the football last night and saw fit to announce to the room that my t shirt "smelled" (she's the one that washes the damn things).
I
love being at home for Easter.
If I'm forced to leave uni I think I will genuinely just have to leave home. Would not be able to hack spending the next 4 months solidly at home.
Miraculously, this hasn't had much effect on my mood, which is still doing ok (
told the doctors I wasn't borderline), so that's a month of stable mood now.
April 10th can't come quickly enough.
