Hey all,
I am starting the diet tomorrow and last night I spoke to a close friend telling him of my plans.
I was quite worried by his reaction to be honest. He was very concerned and couldn't understand how the diet would be safe. I tried my hardest to explain to him but he just sees it as starvation. He says there must be other ways and doesn't see why I am not just happy the way I am. I know he is just saying that to be a friend, but it doesn't actually help. I have come to the conclusion that I am not happy with the way I look and my level of health and have made the right decision to change this and to be told I don't need to loose weight when at 19 stone I clearly do doesn't help.
As I am at uni all day sometime and I would usually be going to lunch with friends, so I can't hide the fact that I am doing this diet, which I wouldn't want to as I am going to need the support of those around me, how do I combat this? A lot of people who don't understand this diet or haven't heard about this kind of thing aren't going to understand what any why I am doing this.
How do you guys deal with this??
