Making healthier choices, not overeating by utilizing portion control, and being more physically active, is a new lifestyle for me. I started a motivational group chat with family members that went left due to them not being ready and offended by my advice, motivation, and encouragement. So I decided to join this community with hopes of meeting like minded people. Here’s to lifestyle change!

    Welcome! You're making some great choices:-)

    If you search the community boards with terms like "family" "relatives", and "unsupportive" you'll find plenty of folks here with similar experiences.

    Family and friends may perceive your efforts for change to be scary, challenging or even judgemental of things they hold dear-- like favorite family recipes, or foods associated with special memories. Be patient with them, and know you're not alone!
