:) Oh well... my parents are completely different, they were the first ones telling me I was getting fat and they would ask me to eat less or something different if what they're having is too fatty... which is not great either because of the constant pressure. But then again, they will be pleased once I'm back home with my healthier eating habits (they haven't seen me! been studying in the UK for the past year).

Nevertheless, I absolutely understand what your saying. Didn't read all the posts but I second what clairelaine said. Also, maybe could be somehow easier to ask your dad not to put butter in YOUR veggies, meat, etc? That way you're eating with them but just without the extra sat fats. I know how parents can be when you're growing up/ from a teenager point of view but you have to remember that they're not trying to hurt you, sometimes you just have to explain things better/more/differently. Like explaining why is it a bit different to get your fats from an avocado instead of a buttery piece of pork.

And to okie (I think that is correct), yes, some people respond that way, I've read some posts here from CCs that are getting the same reaction from cousins/friends. And it happens in life, not just with weight loss. Maybe if you're more open with her and ask her to "put less peanut butter because you're trying to eat healthier" or include her when you're going to prepare a healthy snack for yourself. If she feels like she's part of that good thing that you're doing she will probably stop acting as if she's against it/you, that is by not missing out and you could get a partner for this journey, she's your sister so... it's worth trying harder.
