First, I want to thank Donna for writing the entry this morning....Donna has been with us now over 8 months and has done an INCREDIBLE job here....
I had a patient today who discussed with me the concept of "self-sabotage" referring to eating food sources that will derail weight loss efforts...stress eating of high caloric foods and snacks....we also discussed the "external" sabotage that our friends and famiuly will often do to us. Despite seeing an obvious weight problem, people around us will offer up desserts, "treats" and other sources that will hurt our efforts to become healthier and happier.
We must learn to NOT self-sabotage and certainly, not allow us to be sabotaged by well-intentioned friends and family.

Unfortunately, some people might just subconsciously, "intentionally" sabotage. I have found as you start to lose weight, jealousy can sometimes rear its ugly head by some "friends" who think you have lost "enough" (despite your goal) or by friends and loved ones who might be threatened by your new slim self -- and perceived
changes that could possibly come as a result of your weight loss. Just something to keep in the back of your mind...
