I second that advice. It's a strange and regretable thing about human nature...often the people around us, family members even, wish us well but don't really mean it. They drag around their own issues and try to rain on the parades of those they profess to love or have concern for.

Try not to let it get to you too much. When I started, there were certainly negative comments made. Not by my family, ever, but by coworkers. Today, I'm looking good and feeling great, have the test results from my doctor to confirm how healthy I am and those coworkers look like they put the "tub" in tubby.

Thank your stars that you have this forum and a supportive community here. You did the right thing by venting here. We support your decision to LCarb and applaude that you've gotten back on track!

You're a big loser! Be proud! The advantage is really yours.
