Let's look at this.... and think about it...there are a lot of quick fix programs out there. And, a lot of people who think weight loss has little to do with nutritional choices abuse their bodies, some even die.... These people in your family as well as friends are just concerned. They are not fully informed and they want you to know that they care. They certainly don't want to lose you!

Take the time to inventory the benefits of the program you are on and if it is nutritionally based, like Atkins, relax and enjoy your accomplishment.

Keep their view of the situation in mind. Their experience with weight loss may seem like a lost cause and here you are doing it....

Always take the time to look at where you were and where you are - compare...
