Here's something else I've learned which may help you reach your goals, regarding weight-loss (and other, for that matter).
One of my specialties is trying to be tolerant of people who are intolerant of me. My motto is: "I refuse to dehumanizze anyone, even those who dehumanize me." I recommend that you practice this difficult art in the coming week. As you start this path to healthy eating, you're in a phase when it's crucial to bolster your (sense of inner) integrity (should we call that, self-confidence!), and playing nice with those who don't play nice would be a great exercise. But there's another important reason to do this: Feeling even low levels of contempt and disdain would shut down your intuition. And that's something you can't afford as you come to a turning point in your work on what *you* think (not what someone else thinks) is best to do right now in your own life.
I want to wish you luck, if you're considering making some nutrition changes. And if I can offer any "tips" that I've learned for myself, in the past year, while taking off weight....well, if I'm here, then I'm here to help in any way I can!

I guess I have to kinda disagree.
I'm going to have to agree here.

Since Erin asked, in another thread. By instinct, or intuition: Learn to listen to the voice inside your head. It's probably your mother's anyway, and when was she ever wrong? Just use commonsense in all circumstances.
