We had a little birthday party for Peting's aunt's husband. And, of course, his cousin was there. She's gotten diabetes not that long ago, and of course has had to stop eat anything sweet. And she has done really well with that, she’s even stopped eating nearly all carbohydrates! So, she’s being good, which keeps her diabetes under control! So yay!
But, and this is what bothers me somewhat. As soon as we meet up with Peting’s relatives it’s all talk about sugar and carbs and how bad it is, but still there’s carb and sugar in the birthday food. So I eat it, but feel scrutinized and commented on the whole time, even if they don’t say it to me. They just discuss how bad it is with carbs and sugar.
It just makes me feel quite uncomfortable. And when I hinted at it, my MIL just said that I’m the healthy one since I can eat it without being sick. Really? I don’t feel healthy or even comfortable when they talk about it every time we meet up all of us. :-/
I hope it won’t be like that on Saturday when we celebrate Peting's birthday. It’ll be my brother there to and his kids, so I hope that will distract from this constant subject. *sigh*
