Nonsense Thick As Cement

I'm steamed right now but will try to write calmly. If you were anyone in my family, you would have by now remarked to me how I seem to be putting the right foot forward with my new regimen of sleep and diet. Unless of course, you were known as my little sister.
With the diet, I've been eating nothing but good foods, in painfully small meals, five times a day. I'm being critically judged, so not good enough. I'm eating too often. Too much. Whatever. She has even slipped in her criticisms on one thing. I now know if she doesn't see what I'm eating and how much, she is looking in the kitchen trash can when I'm not around, inspecting the wrappers and so on. Really? She doesn't get that blood sugar levels also play a part in it, even though I went seriously hypoglycemic for a bit yesterday afternoon by being busy with something and lost track of time. I'm not going to argue or get into a long discussion.
I'm doing great with the sleep aspect. Still, this morning I had to hear about the previous napping. Well, sometimes I was taking an afternoon nap. I'm retired now. When I had nothing going on, I thought, "I never got to treat myself to an afternoon weekday nap. Why the hell not now?" Then as mentioned previously, twice recently she launched me into a near-mental and emotional melt down because of her well-meaning ranting at me about various issues of mine. I had to go upstairs to sleep to get away from it/her. Well, it's a thing of the past, except you are making me feel a lot like retreating now.
Then, I'm hearing about the smoking again. With the change in meds, diet, sleep habits, legal shit, emotional and mental stuff, I kinds have enough going with my body and mind right now, right?
Simon Says:
Your sister sounds like my paternal grandmother, who lived with us for the last fifteen years of her life. A memory suddenly emerged of buttering a slice of bread, and being startled by her cry of ‘You’re putting a quarter of a pound of butter on that!’ My father put it down to her having been a schoolteacher.

I get that. I'm a big boy. I had to remind her yesterday regarding my eating and so on that for the last ten years, I did all the cooking for myself. For 20 years, I did all the cooking for a family of four. No one went hungry, no one got dangerously obese, no one got poisoned./homepage

^Haha, that is exactly what you need to do. "Lady, I managed to survive ok before I got here - for a long time actually!"
