I just have to concider myself lucky I have such good support. My hubby was against it at first untill he saw the weight going down and my blood sugars dropped to very nice numbers. He said he loved it the day that I got my medication lowered! Just this morning he said that once the bread in the pantry was gone he was going to start it(man cant stand to waste a drop lol) I am glad to maybe have a in home supporter. My mother actualy gave me the book, what a great gift! I dont fear the comments because for me it works. I am doing something about my weight. I am taking charge of me and I am not going to become part of an epidemic of obesity. That makes me feel good. People who talk down about this WOE (many of them)really have no idea how it feels to have failed at so many diets, then find that you dont have to diet at all, just change your WOE. I pitty those with ignorance, smile and knodd and go on with my new me! Happy, Healthy and energetic!
