Be Accountable
Make them feel guilty about what they eat? Is exercising and not eating the foods you both once shared making them feel neglected? Avoid the sabotage they may inadvertently inflict on your diet by being honest and forthcoming about your expectations before beginning a weight-loss regimen. Let your loved ones know that you won't be accepting seconds; invite them to exercise with you; and most important, let them know that you may slip on your diet, and you don't need them to rub it in when and if that happens. If everyone knows your expectations from the outset, then they'll be more likely to support you.
