I have decided I just won't mention weight loss when I see her again. It will be over two months, and she sees hundreds of people. She will probably forget. In the mean time I am eating sensibly and losing slowly. Thanks for the advice!

I just got all of the sugary things out of the house. I now have things like cottage cheese with cinnamon and sweet and low, gives the sweet taste and extra protein.
