Help your family and friends change with you. 

 

You may be right when you think that none of your family or friends understand your WLS experience. These people are not you. The best strategy for peace is to love and teach one another. You have made a choice. Rather than get angry or resentful because a family member or friend comes in eating a sugary food with a tempting aroma, teach them how to support your goal of long-term WLS success.  

Realize your family and friends must learn how to fulfill their needs while supporting you. Finding the right balance will take time and communication. Just keep at it. 

Action for the day: Forgive your family members and your friends, as you teach them how to support you.

Time is exactly what it takes...most of my family have adapted to and incorporated the way I eat now into their own lives.  It is wonderful!
