Yeah, this must have been the weekend for family "arguments"...
I saw my brother at a family reunion this weekend. I haven't seen him in about 2 years, and since then he has gained about 50 pounds -- he's probably close to 300 pounds. We all (aunts, uncles, cousins, etc) sat around and the subject of my eating habits came up. I went on and on about how Atkins is changing my life, and my brother said, "I just can't give up ONE more thing. I've given up cigarettes and drinking -- if I had to stop eating too I'd go crazy." So I tried, I REALLY tried to tell him that Atkins is a way of life, and that I have NEVER felt deprived since day 1. But he wouldn't listen.
I'm worried about his health, and that of his children, who are all following in his footsteps, weight-wise. I recommended that he buy the book. Hopefully he will listen to me (for once in his damn life -- but THAT'S another story)...
