What should I do when my family doesn't support my health goals?

Six months ago, I wasn't feeling like I was living my best life, so instead of sulking about it, I decided to change it.

I began weight trining 3 days a week, doing cardio for one and eating a diet that consists mostly of meat, fruit, vegetables and nuts.

I have lost a lot of weight, gained a lot of muscles and I look and feel AMAZING! Everything about me mental has changed and I am in a good place My goal right now is to work towards building muscle and getting my body fat percentage to 10%

The problem is, my family are telling me they are "worried" about me. They are saying things like "'I'm not eating," even though I eat quite a lot. I just eat the right stuff. It bothers me because of how small minded people are. If you do anything against the norm, you are suddenly sick or different.

Eating disorders are a very real thing for a lot of people. But not every person who loses weight has an eating disorder.

I also dyed my hair red and decided not to wear fake tan anymore. Maybe that was just too much for some people.

I have attached a few photos so you can see my progress.

Congratulations, and regarding you family, tell them to shut up.

Were we in any other time of the year, my response would have included profanity for you to direct their way.
