My mother-in-law constantly criticizes my food decisions. If I order a medium-rare steak, she says, "That's underdone, it might as well be raw!" (She takes hers well done - read, charred beyond recognition.) If I even mention sushi, it's "How could you possibly STAND to eat that RAW FISH!" She also refuses to accept that I'm watching my carbs (I'm an on-again, off-again Atkins dieter, but even when I'm off Atkins, I avoid sugar and white flour). Carbs are part of every meal they serve, and when I politely refuse a potato or a slice of cake, I get the lecture about how low-carb diets can't possibly be healthy. Did I mention she's at least 50 lbs heavier than I am?
I just don't let it bother me. I know I'm eating foods I enjoy and foods that are healthy for me, and neither she nor anyone else has the right to impose their idea of a proper diet on me.
