Ok the gig is up

[AtkinsBarbie*]

Well for me it is .I think my family knows about my diet.They keep saying ohh you look so nice i see your loosing weight.I was just hoping that i could drop the weight and nobody would notice and i could just have it a secret that i carried.I was wrong.So My aunt comes over and says"oh i heard you were on that atkins diet!"I was so shocked because i never mentioned it to her(or anybody) at all.So then My dad ordered chicken wings and tried to hide them from me because he said i heard you were watching your wieght and stupid me says "No i can have wings they are allowed on my diet"SUCHH A HUGE MISTAKE because then he says'oh what are you on atkins"I might as well just come out of the atkins closet and tell it to the world !Are secret diet plans that hard to keep?

I think if you live with people it will be impossible to hide your diet preferences. And you should not have to. Be proud to have cut out junky carbs.

Re: Ok the gig is up

I wouldn't use the word "diet" ... there's a subtle meaning that someday you will be "off" whatever you're doing.

And you can say something like, "I'm watching what I eat" ... "I'm eating controlled carbohydrates" or my personal favorite is "I'm eating whole, unprocessed foods, no sugar, no refined carbohydrates, heart healthy fats, lots of vegetables, low glycemic fruits."

And remember ... you don't owe ANYONE an explanation of what you're doing.

Re: Ok the gig is up

Yeah it's a hard secret to keep people figure it out by looking at what you eat. I'm not really around anyone eating except family so they are the only ones that know, except my former WW buddy. Otherwise when people go on and on about my weightloss I just say I'm watching what I eat, no more junk food. That's 100% true and I don't have to explain how wrong their views of Atkins are.
