When you are embarking on lifestyle changes, it is best to
keep it to yourself at first. If you
start sharing, posting, or tweeting about the foods you now eat or don’t eat
anymore, be prepared to receive responses that you were not expecting.
People have the tendency to feel your choices are a personal
attack on their own choices. Remember
the old saying misery loves company.
It’s almost as if they are saying I am fat and out of shape and you should
be too. If you feel the urge to share or
look for support, I suggest using a message board. For running, you can try runnersworld.com,
for weight loss try myfitnesspal.com.
This is especially true the farther you move away from the
social norm. When I stopped drinking
coffee for a few weeks, people would always make comments to me about it. They could not understand why I would not drink
coffee.
What type of changes have you made to your diet that caused
unexpected reactions?
