Fortunately, everyone in this household (except the 6-year-old) is following Atkins, so that makes it sooo much easier! However, I do have family members who just can't understand why we don't eat this or that. "Oh, you should have some--it tastes so good!" Well, my food tastes better, so there!

I do get somewhat grousy when people give me a bad time about what I eat. Funny thing is, though, I have a sis-in-law who's this little tiny thing--about 105 pounds dripping wet. She eats low-carb to control insulin spikes. No one ever gives her a bad time about what she eats, LOL. MOST of my hubby's family is very supportive, although I don't think supportive's quite the right word, because quite a few of them are low-carbers too.
