Is my only answer before I start answering them with honest answers that have absolutely nothing to do with their topic/question...
Example, them -"Just one piece? I made this for eveyone."
me - "I duno if I could run a whole marathon."
them - "What?"
me - "Yes, a blue one. But I swapped out the rims with better ones."
They stop about this point. They are not really trying to sabotage you per se. It is just the norm to share treats this time of the year and you not partaking, well, quite frankly, confuses the hell out of them.
Or there is the person who desperately wants to lose weight and has "dieted" all their life and has not lost or gains it all back. You, by sticking to your guns, make them look bad in their own eyes.
If you stay true, lose the weight and stay healthy, you are definitely not normal, or average. You (me too) are the freak, not them.... I will truthfully talk with anyone with questions or curiosity about the WOE. And I am careful to include that my Doctor backs the LC lifestyle, with exercise and that I understand this is not just weight loss. It is not a "diet" it is a way of living for total health. Ever notice a lot of diabetics are thin? High blood pressure is not just for large people either... LC addresses all of that too!
So, rock on freaky dudes and dudesses! Stay true to your plan! You know why, you know whats bad and you ARE strong enough to stand your ground and not jump face first down the slippery slope into a full blown cheat!
