Hey all!
I am a long time lurker of this sub and occasional commenter. I just wanted to share some of my experiences and somewhat of a reminder about your new journey and lifestyle changes :)
Here in this sub we know you're making changes and are going to be supportive of you. However, it may take some time for your friends and family to grow accustomed to your new changes, if that makes sense.
When I first started changing my habits and cutting out things like pop and fast food, I was asked if I was alright because I wasn't having my usual food and my daily diet had changed.
Even when going to restaurants, I would ensure I was eating a healthy option and having water instead of grabbing a heavy meal, stuffing my face and drinking beers or other high caloric drinks. Again, friends/family would ask if anything was wrong and I would have to reiterate that I was changing my lifestyle so that is why my orders may have changed.
Now, if I have fast food, or if I have Coke etc, they know it's cause I calculated it into my daily caloric goals and I have adjusted to include these foods. I exercise more than I ever have before and now my friends and family ask if I am feeling fine because I DIDN'T go for a walk or workout.
So, just a gentle reminder that while you are making changes and adjustments, so are your friends and family to your usual behavior. Eventually, your new changes will be routine for them like it is for you.
Keep pushing and have a lovely night :)
