I mean, seriously, I've lost (and kept off) more than 120 pounds and (usually overweight) people will earnestly and sincerely tell me that what I do isn't healthy and "won't work"

oh. that is so true. My editor at work is the 'world's bigget expert on everything', especially healthy eating (this being the man who eats a pastie, sandwhich, bag of crisps and a chocolate bar for his lunch every day)
The other day I had a green salad and bag of low fat crisps for my lunch, and I got a lecture about how ALL low fat things were bad for you.
Now I had closely examined the nutritional content of these crisps, and they are the lowest you can get in fat/sodium/carbs/calories. And they were a damn Friday lunch treat.
As he is my boss, I just firmly said 'these are fine' but I wanted to get in his face and shout 'I've lost 51 pounds since March, I think I can make a decision about if these crisps are ok'
Arrrrgh, I wouldnt mind, but my boyfriend is a trained food scientist, so if I need advice, I get it from him as it's what he does for a living.
Phew, I needed that rant (sorry!)
