Newbie's Long Journey

hey there again, were are up the same tree. If you can find a member of your family that can take you seriously or can be fully supportive, they can help your family to know you are serious about needing their help to be there and not try to encourage the wrong eating habits. bu you have to come clean about your goals to find the support, good luck

I also did not tell my family about my weight loss goals. I don't see them all that often, but when my sister first asked about having lost weight, I just shrugged it off and said that I hadn't noticed anything. A couple of months later my mother was gushing over my weight loss (how embarassing), I just really downplayed it and didn't get sucked into a conversation about it. Since then, I have told me sister that I seemed to naturally go for more vegetables and healthier meals lately just because it's what I felt like eating. I think I've managed to make them understand that I don't really want to talk about it, and that this isn't that big of a deal (for them). So far so good - but I can totally see where you're coming from. Keep it up!
