My MIL has seen me, my FIL (obviously her husband), her SIL, and all the rest of us lose weight on Atkins.

FIL told me that she's still not convinced it works!
Supposedly she's "tried" it. What she would do is...instead of eating something real for lunch, she'd have one Hershey's Kiss, the one with an almond in it. She convinced herself that the almond in the Kiss cancelled out the carbs.
She actually told me that! My dh just shook his head; he'd heard it, too.

She told me tonight that with all the stress in her life, she just can't handle "losing weight".
I told her that my diet was the one thing in my life I could control.

She needs to lose the weight for health's sake. She almost had a heart attack a couple of months ago.

Any suggestions?
