Great point Alicia. I think thats something we all encounter,and its tricky at first to know how to respond.

These days , I dont explain much.. gets too complicated I just say no, thanks, and if pressed, I dont eat sugar or white things, they affect me.

my nearest and dearest don't 'understand', because they have not my biochemistry, but they see I am happy and so help me out a lot. Always on the lookout for a good lunch for me or making sure dinners on time

I have given the web address for RR sometimes if people are really interested though.

how long have you been doing steps ? I found step 1 and 3 particularly challenging but everyone here was so helpful, I discovered that sharing, listening and playing with it was really good for me!
