This I know is very sensible, and obvious, but the casual "no thanks" does not roll easily off my tongue.
2 of my close friends are quite confronted by my refusal of sugar and think I am being extremist. It is just ignorance on their part, but they go out of their way to make it difficult, even though i have tried to tell them how important it is.
I just think if I am strong enough for long enough they will leave me alone. And DON'T anyone tell me to change my friends because I love them dearly and they are very supportive on all other matters. Just have their own addictions which they don't want to know about right now. And they will teach me to be true to myself and to say "no thanks" and whatever else I might need to say to them to get them off my back. So I guess they provide the perfect practise arena.
Last time I visited I brought food for everyone for the whole weekend, so I knew I would have good food to eat.
