Once you get the point where people REALLY notice your wieght loss, your own pride in what you have accomplished will drown out any negative remarks. Just the way your desire for carb food is less and less as you reach your goal.
People can express their opinions all they want, but at the end of the day it is you alone who faces the results of your decisions.
I was leary about my annual physical, because I had been on Atkins two months and lost 30 pounds. I was afraid of his reaction because of all the negative opinions out there. Well..my doctor seemed as excited as I was that I had lost the weight, and has recommended it to some of his patients. All my tests came out improved from the year before..
Keep going girl, you can do it. All you have to do is want it!
