the importance of friends and family

This is a little exert from a story I saw on the TV the other night.
It is not so much a Diverticulitis type program. But the lesson I thought was great.

I will try and summarize it here.

"If you have over weight friends, you are more likely to be over weight. If you have over weight family you are more likely to be over weight. Your friends and family have a huge impact on your daily life. The reverse is also true, if you have slim friends your are more likely to be slim."
I wish I could remember the name of the organization who did the study, but I wasn't quick enough to write it down.

but the lesson is that if your on a diet and your family and friends are not. It will be tougher to keep to it.

so this is really a post for family and friends.

Try and get your family to understand what you are going through. Try and get them to join you on a high fiber diet (that is the one you should be on most). This will help make it easier for you to monitor things and stick to a plan that works for you.

If you can get your family and friends to join you, not only will it help them it will make it much easier for you to manage you Diverticulitis and a diet.
