I just don't get it and I don't do it. It's highly personal and everyone needs to feed their soul and their body based on what they know is right for them!

After eating this way for a couple of months now, I've decided that, in may ways, I control how people respond to me. In the beginning, being uber-conscious of my plan led to a keen awareness that my eating choices made me different. And sometimes being different, especially in social situations, can be uncomfortable. After all, being social is all about sharing, right? Now that I've done this for a while, it's not really about choices anymore...it's who I am...it's just what I do. It's really no different than brushing my teeth every morning, or taking vitamins after lunch. And I've noticed that as I've integrated clean eating into my daily routine, it just isn't that big of a deal. Less people notice. I can walk around a social setting with a glass of ice-water in my hand, and no one seems to notice that I bypassed the cheesecake on the way to the water pitcher. As in so many things, I think the key is in how you perceive yourself. This is a good question, Anne Marie.

I remember going through this myself...and all I can really say is...it gets better. As you are consistent with your choices, your friend will not expect you to "dig in"...but honestly to this day, I have times where I know "friends" come by my table just to see how I stacked my plate. Consider it a compliment...people want to KNOW how to look like you do. So when the time is right for you...share! Great comment Anne Marie, and an issue that ALL of my clients face.

One thing I would like to ask, is how do people deal with the comments you get about the way you eat - or the way you end up getting kind of left out of social situations that involve food (especially at work.) It's almost like I need to apologize for not wanting a piece of cake or whatever junk food of the day is brought in (believe me, a LOT!) & everyone digs in at 8am. I'm not trying to be a food snob, and I certainly don't comment about anyone else's eating habits... but it seems like I'm constantly under the microscope. Same goes for potlucks for kids' sports events & social situations like that - how do you stick to your plan while trying not to bring attention to the fact you're skipping most of the food offered? Hawaii is especially big on potluck and most local foods here are high carb/high fat. I should probably just grow a thick skin and not care!
