Envy from friends!? - Complaints about low payouts!?

I have talked about DietBet to my bf and family once and they were not enthusiastic at all. It was months ago and their main issue was "what if you can't do it?". So they basically ruined my motivation. Regarding the money, they told me things like "gambling is an addiction". It was hard to explain them that when you don't have a cheerful environment, at least you have a challenge with DietBet (and on top of that an awesome community, but I didn't know that yet). So yes, it was also a pretty negative reaction.
