This should not even be a problem!?

I am in need of losing some weight so my doctore suggested I try the diet pill Adipex. My sister is taking it and she looks great, losing over 30 pounds so far. This is also a temporary pill that just helps jump start weight loss. Anyway, my mother-in-law sells this Herbal Life and she, along with my Father inlaw have been trying to get me to take this stuff to lose weight. It is a costly herbal pill that is widely backed up by many Christians, such as my inlaws. They swear by the stuff, even though I have yet to *see results in them. Anyway, I know how they are about taking precription meds, so I have been uneasy about telling them. Some say just don't tell at all, but I felt the need to because they may see my car at the clinic, or my parents may tell them (close friends), or I just can't lie about a drastic weight loss in the beginning. So my husband told them last night and his mother mouthed off quite a bit about me taking this stuff. I know I'm going to get the heat from his Dad.
She immediately asked why I did not take her vitamins. My hubby just blew it off. I am worried about how his Dad is going to react, because he is a very strait forward man. We don't get along that well anyway, so I feel like I may blow up. He once pulled me aside and bluntly told me I needed to lose weight..very rude I think. So I told my husband just pretend like we changed our minds for now about taking this diet pill..That way I won't get the slack. And then when they start to see my results…they may back off some. My Father in Law is very spiteful, and he will be the type to do and say anything. Such as tell everyone I cheated on weight loss, I was too lazy, or even call the CPS because I am taking a Diet Pill with two small children. This should not even be a problem..is there an easier way to go about this mess???
Petty I know, but less conflict is better. I am not very calm about things, especially when someone is bluntly in my face about things. I am grown and don't feel like it should be a problem.
Sounds to me like your inlaws have to much of what the cat licks it's a*se with! Tell them to mind they're own business. it's YOUR life NOT they'res. Herbalife isn't the answer it's just about replacing meals with pills.! decide for yourself what you think you might like to try hun and go for it. Good luck.
