Paleo Challenge Day 5:

Not all of your friends and family are going to eat and live the way you do – but despite your differences, they should be supportive of your efforts to lose weight, improve your medical condition, or better your quality of life, even if they don’t agree with your specific choices. If those closest to you are giving you a hard time about eating Good Food, pressuring you to “just relax” or “have just one,” or downright sabotaging your plans, here are some strategies you can use to save your relationships without sacrificing your healthy lifestyle efforts:

• Directly confront the behavior of you friend or family member. Point out their peer-pressure ways, and let them know it’s not cool. You don’t judge their choices, and you expect them not to judge yours.
• Refuse to engage in the conversation, and change the subject immediately.Be clear that your food choices are not up for discussion at the dinner table, but if they’d like to ask you questions another time, that would be welcomed.
• Socialize with friends outside of food. Go for a hike, hit a fun exercise class, or take a class together – but make the activity time something that doesn’t involve desserts or drinks.
• Invite friends to your house for the next social occasion. Serve them delicious, tasty, decadent meals that all fall within your healthy eating parameters, and show them you still indulge in (and enjoy) tasty foods that are also good for you.
