Message: <blockquote data-quote="HSSS" data-source="post: 1908938" data-attributes="member: 480869">I had this exact thing yesterday with my in laws. Despite knowing its for my long term health and explaining that “just once” or “just a bit” creates cravings that are hard to resist for days after as I’m no longer used to eating carbs they still give a very strong impression I’m just being fussy. This is after 25yrs of knowing me and seeing me eat almost anything til this summer. My mil firmly believes anyone can eat anything in moderation and all medical advise is rubbish as they’ll change their minds tomorrow. I’m never going to win. So yesterday I simply asked what foods were planned and stated “please only do xyz for me as I can’t eat abc and don’t want to waste it”. They did increase the amounts luckily to fill the plate. Oddly when faced with favourite grandchildren going vegan they bent over backwards to accommodate and understand and that was moral choices not medical.</blockquote>
