It never ceases to amaze me that the people in our lives we think would be the most supportive of our health and fitness goals sometimes are the ones that sabotage us the most.
You know who I'm talking about. Those family members and friends that tell you:
"Oh, just have one piece."
"Oh come on, you only live once."
"Are you really not going to eat any of this?"
We all have these "bad food" villains in our lives and if losing weight wasn't hard enough, this does not make the situation any easier. (I know you can agree with me on that one.)
Trust me, I've heard it all. In all the years that I have been eating healthy, I don't care to repeat some of the ridiculous statements that have been said to me by my family and friends (I still love them all anyway).
Here are some ways you can deal with these "bad food" villains... I mean loving family and friends while still maintaining your cool and achieving all of your health goals.
1.) Remember most of the people who are trying to sabotage your new healthy eating plan are just jealous or upset that they do not have enough determination, will power and commitment to do it themselves. Please be compassionate. If we want people to be compassionate with us, we must show compassion towards them (yup, now we're back in kindergarten). Respond to them with statements that only describe you, not them. You do not want to offend anyone or hurt anyone's feelings (or at least I hope you don't). Try statements like:
"I really feel great eating this way. It's made such a difference in my life already."
Or
"I know I am doing something great for my health and I feel awesome about it."
Or
"I really want to be a good role model for my family and my children. I want to show them all healthy habits."
Who can say anything negative to that? (I know... I'm sure you've got at least one person). What you have done however, is not attacked them at all and you have kept it positive. No sense in resorting to childish antics like "Nani Nani Poopoo, I'm healthy and you're not." Come on, nobody wants to hear that.
2.) Next are those situations where you are in someone's home and you do not want to offend them. If this is a dinner party, just do the best you can. I promise you, you will not be sabotaging all of your good efforts by eating one meal that is not part of your plan. It might actually be a good break from your routine. Here's where most people go wrong. They think if they had one bad thing now need to throw in the towel all together. One meal is NOT enough reason to give up on your health goals. Make your grandma happy by eating her lasagna (or whatever the meal may be) and don't go overboard. One piece is enough and you have not offended anyone. Wake up the next day and move forward with your healthy food, like nothing ever happened (Lasagna? What Lasagna? I didn't see any Lasagna.) Don't torture yourself, or reflect on the meal. Telling yourself you have failed and then harping about it is actually worse than eating the bad food. No more beating yourself up!
3.) If you find that there are just some people who are super negative about what you are doing no matter what you try, don't talk to them about your eating. I would love to tell you to avoid these people, but sometimes they are people who are the closest to us. Show them the wonderful side effects of healthy eating just by your actions alone. Your results will speak for themselves. I gave up on trying to convince certain people of the true benefits of healthy nutrition a long time ago. It was just too exhausting and I'm pretty sure they are now well aware of all the wonderful benefits just by my own results and actions.
Don't let anybody tell you that you can't do anything, especially reach the health and weight goals that you want. Show them what you've got by your amazing results and that will be enough to keep most people from trying to knock you down.
