To want to do my own shopping

Going on holiday to a self catering cottage with DP, kids and parents of DP

The plan was always that we would organise the food shopping between us and I’ve been telling DP we need to go over what we want all week.

He also knows that I am following a strict diet. I have been really miserable and self conscious about my weight since having our last baby (now 14 months) I am still 2st over my usual weight and honestly think it’s making me a bit depressed. After our other children I went back to my usual weight with little effort.

today he announces his parents have organised all the meals & done the shopping.

I say I appreciate they are trying to be helpful but he says I’m being ungrateful and that I can just take my own food and have something else. my Opinion is that this might look upright/difficult/ungrateful.

I don’t want to upset anyone but I haven’t long started out on my weight loss so don’t want to go backwards before I’ve even really got going.

also, it would have been nice for us to cook for them too

I just feel like we should have done what we said we would do originally

am I being a miserable cow?

Long term dieter here - the group I go to always comes down on the side of not trying to diet on holiday and just enjoying yourself.
