Melissa I used to say the same thing until I realized that my butt is the big thing that's chasing me and I NEED to run from it! I'm not sure what kind of lack of support that you get at home, but I may have a similar situation. My husband and I don't have children and my cooking is something that he really loves and I cook like a southern woman should and I love it too LOL! He has never been wild about the idea of going on a "diet" and neither am I really. He doesn't really need to lose weight so if I go on a diet, he does too. With only the two of us it would be very difficult for just one of us to be on a diet. So my solution has been to keep on cooking the way I always have but I have started cutting my portions. I am eating the same yummy foods but cutting out seconds and I'm using a smaller plate to fool my eyes and brain. I can imagine that if you're cooking for a husband and children it would be nearly impossible for you to go on a traditional "diet" by yourself so this may work for you as it has for me. Any way that you do it though, just do it! Don't give up and do this for yourself
