[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1437048, member: 265172"] I don't like the reaction I often get for politely and discreetly refusing - I get eye rolling and 'oh of course, you don't eat this, no wonder you're so slim'. From friends. To be honest even if I weren't diabetic I would still choose a hardboiled egg or something cheesy over a slice of cake or a choccy biccy. And it's interesting that many people in this context feel it's their business to comment on my choices. Of course I smile and ignore. What else could I do, I wonder? 'Sorry that I don't eat cake'? 'Sorry if my size offends you'? Still, [I]I'm [/I]happy with what I do and don't eat. So that's fine! :) [/QUOTE]
