It honestly sounds like she's jealous of your dedication. I ragged on my brother for buying diet soda and not splurging with me before I started on this go round.

I had 57 pounds to lose (started at the end of August) and I gave myself a whole year. I've lost 17 so far. Having a diet buddy can help - even an online one. I'm married and my husband does not eat well…
