My woman goes through that. Her whole family consists of what I call "body-abusers". They all smoke, drink, eat the worst foods and are quick to riducule her for watching out for what she eats and for exercising. It's sort of amazing watching a person, who is 50-100 lbs overweight, puffing on a smoke while drinking a beer, criticize a fit, 115 pound woman for eating celery and carrot sticks instead of fried potatoes.

I take my hat off to all of those who have the strength to ignore the family naysayers. Not sure I could have done it. Lucky for me my family wasn't like that. They always encouraged healthy living (although we did -- still do -- all like to eat).
