Thanks for the support ... I was a bit blunt in my post, but (there's that word again) I feel like I have to be totally committed to this change in eating habits to make it work.
I love having all the info online and the great support of this message board. It is helping both Dave and I to not feel like lone rangers... even though we know several people that are on the Atkins diet, our friends who are not - seem so negative about what we are doing.
Last night a couple we were out with kept giving us suggestions, like "why don't you just eat more fruit, or eat less or just cut back on your calories. I was sitting there thinking, 'don't you think we've tried that... that's the point it didn't work for us...this does...get it!'
This is not the first time our diet has been met with skeptisisym, several people have tried to "help" us eat better since we started the diet. I feel like screaming! Here we are proud of our weight loss and saying we really like how we feel and they just cannot accept that this diet is good for us...we get some real wierd reactions.
Does anyone else get that kind of reaction?
PS We live in a community that is predomanantly veggan, maybe that is part of it. Thanks again for taking time to respond to my post.
