How do you handle the naysayers?

I have had a lot of comments lately about LB. Most people say that it is the easy way out, you will gain all the weight back, it doesn't deal with emotional eating issues, etc.....

So, how do we get those negative things people say out of our minds?

Friends will say: I could never give up food, or bread, or fried foods, etc...

Question? What about beer? Can we still drink a beer?

I don't bother about all the NEGATIVE FEEDBACK ! That some of these people can dish out.

They have not walked in my shoes at all ! So how can they possibly know anything that I have done,

or been through. It's not possible as far as I can see.... So they can ramble on with all there wise words of wisdom,

when in turn they are just walking mountains of misinformation ! So I don't listen to them at all.
