Weight loss

I was listening to a woman on tv the other day talk about how her family supported her while she lost weight. I've never had that support at home and I hope she knows how lucky she is. I would need to go away to a fat camp to have any kind of support for weight loss. I don't think that people who have never NEEDED to lose weight, understand how hard it is to stop eating in order to lose weight, regardless if it's 5 pounds or 20 pounds to lose.
