My biggest mistake was not coming out of the closet fast enough at work about Atkins. Some people still do tease me a little bit I think because of the way I eat, or think it is freakish. But I'm the one that's losing weight and not them, so .

Every choice you make should be for yourself and not to make someone else's life easier. If there is a possiblity that there won't be any good food for you to eat at a party, bring your own. Demand that for dinner's out that you go to a place where you can get a decent guilt-free meal.
