When I told my mom I was going on Atkins, she said "Oh Hil, that'll kill ya!" Apparently so-and-so that she knows "almost died" from the diet... right.

She also said "just don't stay on it for long, ok? Maybe just a month or two." Are you kidding? I know she means well.

My mother-in-law is also concerned that I'm losing too much weight. Please! 60 pounds from now she can maybe start worrying about that.
