i chose negatively, but it isn't like they physically force me to eat. i'm the only non-meat-eater in my family, and i still need to explain to my grandparents that fish is meat. they're very supportive, but at the same time they try to push more food at me because apparently a piece of meat is way more nutritious than a tomato. my family also loves dessert, and i do include myself in that, but i know that i have that problem and i try very hard to stay away from dessert. however, tonight i had dinner at my grandma's house and she baked cupcakes and made two kinds of pudding. if i say no, she'll be upset, so i had to eat like 6 cupcakes and some tapioca.

I said postively,
They are always rooting me on & telling me when I do well :)

My family is all supportive, no one tries to persuade me to eat anything that I don't want to.

Had to vote negatively :(


My husband isn't particularly supportive of my weight loss efforts (he's overweight himself and not ready to do anything about it).
