This begs the question, "Is he supportive of you in any other endeavors?" The point is that our lives are filled with nay-sayers. It's up to us to channel the nonsense away from our focus and goals. You've already lost 4 lbs from using this site as your support network. It's working for you, therefore you really don't need his approval right now. When you win 2 or maybe 3 of these DietBets in a row, he'll change his tune and come around. Keep up the good work.
