So....

You know, they love you obviously, but it is hard for parents to accept it when their children take a different path in life than they do. They may feel like it is a way of you telling them you don't approve of them. I know it's really you just finding out who you are and thats cool. Just make sure they hear you say that you love them and appreciate that they cook dinners for you, even though you can't eat them with them. I'm glad you are taking responsibility for your health, but know that when a mom makes food for her family, it is a physical way to show love. I'm not saying eat it, I'm saying let them know you appreciate it. If you have a good attitude they won't mistake this healthy lifestyle choice for just teenage angst.

Excellent, mature post.

Any chance some sort of truce - like if they promise to not comment on your way of eating, you will cook them all one of 'your meals" once/week and you can all try it?

That's a cool idea! Who knows, maybe you can get them to eat and be more health conscious by sharing your lifestyle with them. Maybe they really would like to be more health conscious, but just don't know how or where to begin. If you could inspire that in them.......
