No one else can take care of you like you can and the more health and vitality you have the more you will have to give to others! You're right also, that some push back could occur - people get used to you being a certain way and when you change it does change the status quo. ;) But, it just depends on what you're going for - if you want to live life to the fullest then you've got to put your health at the top of the list and boundaries are going to go along with that!

You just have to be prepared for others to initially resist when you set boundaries for yourself and change the status quo! The great thing is that when you start your own healthy life style and weight loss, you can help those you love at the same time. As the song says, "it's a family affair"!

People often set out on these fantastic diets or fitness plans but forget that they need to change other areas of their life as well. One of the major ones is cleaning out the pantry and the fridge. Most people (definitely myself) can't stop at just one bit of junk food and it's often not as simple as just removing it from the house. Especially if there are others in the home. You need to sit down and express your fitness and lifestyle goals to your family and friends so they can support you. As hard as that can be. This is a great post.
