Remember when you start to change-whether it is mentally first, actions second and then physically in due time--that can freak those around you out--mainly because human nature likes to "go with the flow" --even in a highly dysfunctional setting--that is what people know and so they think that is okay--when they more than likely know down deep, it is not--

my take on this is: either people around you (loved ones, family, friends, significant other) get insecure because they see the changes in you, so they conciously or not try to sabotage your effort to keep the same ol' same ol' thing going--they may not even mean this against you--they are rebelling against the idea of CHANGE in and of itself ---- or they begin to feel guilty, inadequate or whatever, themselves and instead of bringing all this to the table, they create chaos so you'll quit.

Healthy people in mind and body will genuinely support you, help you, cheer you on and even join you. People willing to get on the healthy train once they see you makng the effort--will do so and be inspired not threatened--if you do not get the support you need where you should--my "healthy selfish" rule says GET IT where you can--that is what New Face is all about-- no blame --just finding those who will support you and not feel bad about making your self and your health a priority--if that is selfish then it is HIGH time WE ALL GET SOME--(selfishness of the healthy kind) love, deemiester
