" Dinners ready " my dad says while knocking on the door.

Honestly I don't even know why he bothers. I never eat what he makes, it's not that he's a bad cook, it's just that he has no portion controll and adds on tons of cheese and no vegetables to go with his food. I always cook weigh out and plan my own food. I did the same thing I did when I was a hyper rexi but most of my food was pre packaged and heavily processed.

So I remain in my room and open up YouTube on my tv to play a Sam Sulek video. Honestly I'm just waiting for him to leave so I can cook.

My sister comes into my room as Sam starts his shopping in Fred Meyer.
He provides me with great grocery shopping inspiration when I need it.

" Are you going to eat?" She asks while beginning to eat her own dinner.

I swear she confuses me so much, the other night she said I ate to much.

Then last night she says I don't eat enough, lost my ass and look sick? Girl if you are going to body shame me please just pic one way. Also I'm still muscular? Abs thigh muscles and biceps but I get t I mean my collar bone and chest muscles might make me look thinner than I am.

" What is it?" We do this most nights she knows regardless of what dinner is there is a 95% chance I'll say no.

" Tater tot casserole." She explains showing me her plate.

" No thanks, I'll make something later."

" Whatever." She responds finally leaving my room. God she's so annoying sometimes. But I bet when I start cooking shell want some.

You know the thing about my dad's is that they rarely cook but when they do we are expected to enjoy it. See Dan works at night and Cent is hardly home during the day if he is home he's certainly not paying attention to me.

I mentioned once that I don't eat till twelve pm but I doubt they tied that to intermittent fasting. They generally don't care what I'm eating and complain my sister and I eat to much. It's annoying.

I watch Sam grab some 96/4 lean ground beef, I make a mental note to add ground beef into next weeks meal prep. I alternate between chicken, beef, and salmon. They are easy and I know how to cook them !

Finally Dan leaves for work at 6:00 but I eat every 2/3 hours. So I start eating the first half hour of 12 pm, then I eat again during the first half hour of three then again the first half hour of five, eight and nine. Nine is the last time I eat of the day. It's what works for me.

So I have to wait another hour and a half to make my meal, it should only take 30 minutes to cook. I'm just having chicken, rice and veggies.

5 ounces of rotisserie chicken

2 ounces of broccoli

1.8 ounces of cherry tomatoes

1.5 ounces of white rice

Pepper

Paprika

Chilli pepper

Simple meal,good protein and good veggies. I don't normally eat with my family, at most I'll eat in the kitchen so they know I'm eating but thats about it.

For me when it comes to avoiding eating with my family I just don't do it.

I'm helping my mom make the two of us dinner, one of my personal favorites butter chicken and rice.

" Babi? How much food will you eat tonight?" She asks before she starts cooking rice.
