What a wonderful post! I am so glad you are finding such success with this way of eating. I know what you mean about coming to a point in your life where you are willing to accept yourself as "overweight" and hope that those around you will accept you too. I'm glad we have both seen the light and are able to make the choice to make ourselves health now with this WOL.

Congratulation to you and your family to their commitment to themselves and a happy and healthy future.

Happy LCing!
