I think it's really hard for people to overcome their thoughts on what they have been told and believe is healthy - low fat, slow loss etc. I think for a lot of people the speed of loss is alarming and worries them because we've been told that it's terribly unhealthy to lose anything more than 2-3 pounds a week. And following protocol, avoiding foods we know trigger us, etc. can seem obsessive. I have been so excited about how this is working for me I know I've babbled endlessly to my mom and sis - who have been supportive - but I am sensing that they are a tiny bit tired of hearing about it.

I don't think we should always chalk it up to sabotage even though its tempting - it can be sincere. You probably know in your gut from other dealings with her whether it is or not.

And I agree the "I'll make an appointment with my doctor" comment was a great suggestion!!!!!
