Hi. Are those people really your friends? If they were, they would help you instead of making you feel worse. I, too, am overweight. I have made several attempts to lose weight, and twice I was very successful, only to gain it all back again plus some. Anyway, I'll share with you my diet. Of course, no candy or chips or anything like that, but basically I eat whatever, as long as I don't go over 20 grams of fat per day. And I jog 15-20 minutes per day. :)
