Is your family concerned about the safety of LC plans, or do they not think you need to lose so much weight. I see on your profile that you are 4'11", which probably means you are small boned too--but 105 is a very low weight. Perhaps they are concerned you will lose too much. If it's the safety issue, there are links to several LC studies on this forum, and on the Atkins web site that may help convince them.


However, to answer your question--I think in the beginning weeks and months of a LC plan I had a tendency to obsess about what I could and couldn't eat. For myself, at least, that has decreased as I've become more confident that I know what works, and I know how to spot hidden carbs, etc. Tell your family to give you time to learn your new way of eating, once it becomes second nature you can focus on things other than food.
