A new study shows women tend to gain extra pounds if loved ones are critical of their weight.
A professor at the University of Waterloo says people turn to friends and loved ones for support and the advice they give can help a big effect.
The study found women who received more positive messages saw better maintenance of weight loss.
Those you didn’t receive the same encouragement gained an average of 4.5-pounds.
The research suggests that feeling better results in being more active and more sensible eating.
