[quote=Anonymous]I have a gluten allergy (& other food allergies like shrimp). I break out in hives and get swollen (yup, like the episode in the show, The Nanny) . Benedryl & an epi pen are my constant companions. I very rarely drink . I have also lost a lot of weight a few years ago and I have managed to keep most, but not all of it. (and it is a struggle as I have gotten older)
 
BUT, I do NOT restrict other people from what they can eat. I go to bars with DH, and I get a soda and still laugh and have fun. I go to restaurants, including Italian, but I go to one where they have something that I can order gluten free & and nonallergic for me, without constantly discussing it.  (I check menus on-line before going out. Steak and potato is always available). I never tell anyone else what they can eat or drink, including DH (& I never discuss his weight).

If you feel her food restrictions are stopping you from enjoying yourself, you really should break it off. I suspect she has some disordered thinking when it comes to food. If you are insistent that she be very thin and fit, you may actually be affecting her self-esteem which may be fueling her disordered thinking. (If I gain weight, he will not love me). Also if you are fighting now, what happens, when you get older, get busy with work, have kids, and gain 20 lbs?
There are too many big things to get into arguments about (like kids- God bless them), you don't want to fight every weekend the rest of your life. (But you KNEW this down deep- that's why you posted here)[/quote]
