Anyone Else Get Good Support from Family and Friends?
I've read on these boards a lot of people that have issues with getting support from family, friends, and co-workers. I'm having trouble understanding that because my family, friends, and co-workers have been great at giving me support.
If I ask someone out to eat, they ask me where I want to go because they know that my "diet" is more restricted. (Actually, I have a broad pallate, so they have a more restricted list.) The only one who doesn't make adjustments for me is my aunt, but that's not a big deal since there's plenty of food to eat.
Just today, I ran into someone who told me how much weight I've lost and that I'm looking great!

One other thing I do is focus on the positive side of things which is a REAL challenge for me. I used to describe myself as a pessimist, skeptic, and cynic. Now, if I don't lose weight, but I eat on plan, I tell someone, "I didn't lose anything, but at least I'm sticking with the plan."
