Have you ever lied to your overly critical family?

My family can be overly critical and judgemental. All they ever care about is weight and how much money you make. So, as a woman, the fact that I'm not 120lbs and making atleast 100K a year... I'm a disappointment. It's very hard to believe in myself when they don't believe in me. Ive started telling little lies like "oh I lost 2 pounds last week" or "I'm probably getting a pay raise soon!". I know it's lying but it's so nice to see my critical family proud of me, even for a moment. Maybe if I lie, they'll start believing in me and then I'll have faith in myself to be better.
