[QUOTE="Spiral, post: 87441, member: 19371"] You simply can't manage someone's condition for them. They eat when you are not with them. It will drive you in to the ground. And trying too hard to browbeat someone in to seeing things your way (I know this because I have both done it and been on the receiving end of it) will just make it harder to ask for help when the time is right, loss of face and having to admit you were wrong and the risk of the other person saying I told you so :? Learning to bite your tongue (I wonder what the GI/carb rating of that is) is a useful skill, it does get easer with practice. The best you can do is be a role model for good control and talk about it if asked. [/QUOTE]
