Maybe the snacks are better than the meal, especially if she is the cook 😀

This was my mom. My sister and I both developed severe EDs. We would gorge at friends' houses, hide food, steal food, etc.

How annoying it would be for another person to tell me how and when I should feed my kids!!?

She's pretty dumb if she doesn't understand that people's metabolisms are different. Some people are grazers, others prefer meals. I'm a big breakfast and lunch person and I can go without dinner. Most people I know are the opposite and can skip breakfast and have lunch and dinner. None of us are right, we're just different.

I'm 47 and realizing that life is short. I'm not sure I'd keep hanging out with someone like that. I felt the same way about the spouse of my husband's friend who became a vegan at 40 so we no longer eat with them and I do my best to avoid her. No one has time for people like that.

Drop her. She’s too controlling.

"So don't have a snack at my house. Problem solved."

Well said.

This! Or even just “we know! You hate snacks! You’ve told us MANY times!”

Much better. Short and sweet.

Beware of the mentally rigid.

Just get together with her at events that don’t involve food. Problem solved.
