Being a die-hard Oprah fan...

Oprah said, on one of her shows recently, that people are fine with your success until you surpass their expectations of you in comparison to them. Then they become critical---which could lead to sabotage.

While and since I've lost my weight, my husband has been mostly good but at times becomes, uh, unsupportive. I get through the moment but later talk with him on how we could both be better. Just like everything else in marriage, it takes a lot of compromise and collaboration to get it right.

Now, my MOTHER is a different story! She showed up on Christmas with HUGE BAGS of cookies, fudge, and heavenly bon bons ---something she's never done in the past--- knowing full well that I don't (ahem, well, SHOULD NOT) do sugar. I fell off that wagon hard. Wish I could be stronger and she could be more considerate. I know she hates how thin I've gotten, particularly when she's at an all-time high weight. I know I need to talk with her before her next visit...

Good luck with your situation. Be strong!

Regards,
K.
