"I feel great, but I can't get my husband/ kid/ parent/ sibling/ [insert-person-you-love-here] to make the healthy changes I'm making, even though they really need to. It's vital! Their health is at stake! Why can't they understand, and how can I make them understand how important this is?"

How can you get someone else to see the light, anyway?

I'm going to tell you how we deal with it with our children.

1. I have tried my very best to NOT project on them my past bad weight experience. It's so temping to say "Oh my gosh, that's just how I started out...she's going down the same path." That isn't going to happen, because you know better! And you're taking the RIGHT steps NOW.

2. My gut feeling is that my having issues with being carb addicted is (just like other addicitons) means they might too.

My Low Carb Christmas, 2002

It's hard for me to believe it, but it's true: Christmas 2002 is already over! Here in upstate New York, we're in the middle of a huge snowstorm - it looks to Bob and I like we have AT LEAST two feet of snow already, and more is falling still! Our little street is completely quiet in the dark, and the sparkling snow is so far untouched - the tracks from the plows that came earlier have been completely obliterated.
