Want to Hear About On Line Weight Loss Programs - Maybe Not!

At first, everyone wants to learn about the on line weight loss programs that you tried and the one that is actually working for you. They even commit to find out more about the Kimkins Diet Plan that has worked so successfully for me. But that’s when the excuses begin - too strict, can’t drink, love pasta, maybe start a week next Tuesday, and the list goes on.

A Fast Weight Loss Can Come with a “Small” Price

I do my best not to flaunt my lost pounds or become “preachy” about dieting. But with successful weight loss, comes a sort of burden I noticed. It seems to come more from my friends that are 40-100+ pounds overweight. Perhaps it’s just human nature, but the more weight you lose, the less support you seem to receive from friends (especially the overweight ones!).

Part of the issue comes from sticking to my diet at social functions when everyone else is eating at will. Of course, I remember that this was me only six months ago, and this was the practice that was one of the root causes of my weight problem in the first place.
That’s All You’re Eating?!

When I go out to eat with my friends, I’m starting to get the heavy sighs when I order, and have to look at their “concerned” faces. Is this low carb diet really healthy for you? You don’t want to get sick, do you (heaven forbid)? Or maybe they are just uncomfortable with the fact that they know they should be eating exactly what I am and losing those unhealthy pounds!

I can tell that some of them change what they were going to order at lunch after they hear what I am ordering – maybe because they feel guilty eating in front of me, or more likely, that they feel guilty ordering “big butt” food, as we call it.

If You Don’t Want to Hear About My Fast Weight Loss, Don’t Ask

If they ask about the on line weight loss programs I have tried, I will tell them my experiences with them. But if they don’t ask, mum’s the word! Most people know what unhealthy habits they need to change, and don’t need to be reminded.

So, as you too experience the satisfaction of quick weight loss, you may also run into this kind of “friendly” pressure. But for me, I just stay focused and am happy losing weight with my effective weight loss diet plan (Kimkins) and just letting them be uncomfortable.

At this point, the alternative is unthinkable!

P.S. - And by the way, I wish I really did look like the woman in the picture in the upper left corner!
