Dinner Time - Urgent, Please Help?!
P.S. I do not have an eating disorder. I'm average weight and am not looking to loose any. And don't tell me to just get over it and shove it down, please.

Ask her if you can cook some of the meal, let her see you cooking yourself the dishes you'll all be eating. If you like raw stuff, make sure there's chickpeas and lentisl or sweetcorn in there, so it's not just a whole plate of raw stuff.
Let her know the sinus stuff is making it hard to even taste, and raw fruit and yoghurt ( whatever) has the most taste.
I think there's something else going on though, you say you don't have an ED but then mention not eagin dinner tomorrow as though you've been thinking about it for a long time.
And that makes me think you've already said something to her, the worst thing to do is mentio a long time ahead that you won't want to eat- you may feel 100% fine tomorrow, so it kind of does sound like you don't wanna eat anyway, and the fact you say you rather eat raw fruit and veg adds to this.
If you're on a raw diet, then she has to know, and maybe that why she's getting pissed off.
If you'd shut up til tomoorrow night, then mentioned you have terrible sinus stuff, she wouldn't mind as much, it just sounds like you've been mentioning a lot.
I also think you should be as nice but straight forward as you can be. If that doesn't work then maybe go ahead and eat what she cooks and when you get sick, get sick in the kitchen and in front of her so that she will believe you the next time you tell her. Sounds gross but I think it would work and quickly solve the problem so you can move on.
i dont want to sound mean or anything but i think you should just be straightfoward with your mom
tell her that you dont like her cooking, it will make it alot easier for both of you. yes she will be upset, but its bettter than just eating food you dont like or even want. (thats just my opinion) (:
Be honest with her. Tell her some things are hard for you to eat and what makes them hard to eat(ie, undercooked veggies). Tell her that its good food, but its just difficult for you. Be nice and smooth with it so its not taken as an insult.
Have you given any thought to helping in the kitchen so you can cook things your way? Barring that, I'd say slip it to the dog.
