Support is so important! Very good that you have gotten those around you to support you. Remember that they might not know exactly what is supportive so do tell them what you want/need help/support in. Good luck on your journey! 

Thanks! Yeah, I need to re-train my mom's grocery shopping habits. She thinks if something says it's good for you, then it is good for you. I will make her read the labels, even if it kills me!!! 

Retraining someone elses habits might be hard, but educating them a bit never hurts, so I say go for it! But it can be so hard in the begining to read and understand labels! So glad I have gotten over than hurdle! My bf is not much of a label reader but is very good at getting the same as we had last time. So if I keep getting the same brand of something he will get that brand if he goes shopping on his own so that is good. If that brand isn't there I have told him to go for the cheaper option or call me. We are both students so money spent on groceries is a big deal for us.
