My cousin and I are the only ones without diabetes
my family is so fat, you'd think eddie murphy was shooting flubber 2 in my house
Mine is similar, but only 6 people.
Glad I only see them on holidays.
How does it even occur to people to eat like this? When one is pouring cream onto grapes, what's going through their head?
Mine is, it's great.
I used to be a fat ass but started running. I run a 10k every week day generally and it keeps me relatively thing compared to the rest of them. I just keep eating when I visit my family. Thanksgiving is great.

The thing is, we do eat lots of vegetables and what just about everyone would consider healthy foods, we just like food too much.

We actually started out NOT fat, none of us were fat while I was growing up, but as we've become more sedentary and less active (not as much walking required anymore, etc) we've all gotten fat. It's a damn shame. What's even more damning is that I have a gym free to use, and it's a nice one, and I don't go. THAT is the real shame.
>currently on a cut going from 220 to 190ish
>family knows this

Never mind the fact that I get blood work done 4 times a year and I have two morbidly obese parents along with the rest of my fatfamily giving me "advice".
I am not sure what it was made of, it could have been bluberry yogurt or something but I didn't try it
My mom always says "its the holidays, I'm allowed to eat what I want" as if she eats healthy the rest of the year.
Then she sends me texts telling me how she put brown sugar on her brussel's sprouts and how good the KFC buffet is.
There is an exercise bike, that she just had to get, in their living room that has had a house plant sitting on the seat for 5 years now.
The first time I came home after she got it she made me try it out to show me how incredibly difficult it was (as an excuse for why she wasn't using it).. she seemed to get a little upset when I turned up the difficulty and actually enjoyed it.
I gave up trying to help them several years ago.
