GlennM's Journal, 24 June 2008

Don't let others discourage you. I've lost a lot of weight. Two obese relatives have been very critical of me. One screeches the diet is deadly. Of course it's not if you get your proper potassium intake through foods like avocados - see my post on potassium rich foods from months ago if you're new to the site. The other relative is just upset I'm not fat anymore and constantly says I USED TO BE. That is HER PROBLEM and issue NOT MINE. I'm not going back and am staying on Atkins and this site. If all of you can do it and I can do it the new people here can do it too. There is no reason to listen to negative people who can't control what they eat because they don't want to and want to get on other's people's cases about it. Also, though I don't recommend it I did lose the weight of almost thirty pounds from Ocotober to April without exercise. So there is no excuse even for couch potatoes or the disabled. Take care everyone, and don't listen to naysayers! Glenn :) P.S. I'm sixty pounds lower than my highest weight! Think of your goal weight and you too can reach it!!!!
