Vacations are so hard - family constantly on me about when to eat

I would like to preface this with the fact that I have been consistently dieting since October last year. I have lost 45+ pounds and as a SAHM I have my own routine and use to serving other food and not eating myself because I would eat my calories at a certain time. A time that would best suit me and keep my hunger at bay so I can stay pleasant instead of hangry.

Also my mom knew I was on a diet months ago but has never congratulated me about my weight loss or said anything about it. Which is fine, I have other supportive people in my life. However I hate talking through my deficit to people but she has heard the spiel from me telling another family member about it. She doesn’t agree with low calorie only low carb. But she’s almost been on a diet near the same time as me and hasn’t noticeably lost weight.

Anyways she makes everyone a breakfast in the morning which is my family, herself and my dad, and my brother and his wife. She makes a big deal who doesn’t eat and who is wasting the food she cooked. Also if you tell her you don’t want what she is cooking she will make it anyways and tell you to eat it like 10 times and be stand off ish if you don’t.

Fo lunch she will make something or she has premade food in fridge and if she is eating lunch and you aren’t she said are you not going to eat lunch?? A ton of other questions and commands telling you to go get something to eat. She saw me eating something early what I considered lunch but to her I didn’t eat lunch cause it wasn’t enough.

Then for supper she will buy take out or cook again and again with the ‘better get something’ non sense. And just keeps saying something about it like come eat, you’re missing out, you’re gonna wish you had got some. If I hadn’t been on my defect for so long I would’ve cracked. There no polite way to decline and she just gets mad. Suddenly I remember my childhood to young adult life at my mom’s house.

Im deeply family rooted but my mom just isn’t understanding but I don’t want to cut her off just rant.
