But since what I’m doing, works, i have to stick with it. But i have lost track of the number of people once here who couldn’t stick with it partly because of “peer pressure.” The constant support of the staus quo in the media and the doctor disapproval and the concerned relatives and making themselves conspicuous by their food choices... it is an added burden I hope will lift at some point.
