I stopped trying to get people to understand. I just learned to say no thank you a lot. Now it doesn't bother me but it used to. I just tell people I am trying to eat healthier and most folks notice and make positive comments about that. You can't change people's minds, you can only heal and then some will see the difference and want to know.

Hi everybody. I'm new here. I'm up to
: step 5. Hasn't been easy but I'm
: getting used to it. My problem is
: other people. They either think
: I'm making all this up, or they
: say good for trying, but they
: think I'm being to extreme when I
: try cutting back on sugars. I
: can't get anybody to understand
: how sensitive to sugars and carbs
: I am. They get upset when I don't
: want to eat what they eat. How do
: I get people to understand this?
: I've already given a couple of
: people the book to read but that
: didn't help.
