My co-worker John keeps bringing donuts into work and placing one on my desk as a joke. He seems to think that the internal struggle and desire for carbs that I have is quite funny and inciting those reactions with a sugary dough ball is his way of a good time. I guess he likes to see me sweat. I usually end up throwing said donut across the room where is falls to the floor collecting hair and dust, and becoming inedible. After all, if I cant have it, nobody can.
All though a grown man struggling over a donut does have a certain humor filled aspect to it, I can't help but feel as though sometimes John wants nothing more than to see me fall of the wagon into a sugar filled nightmare. Not because he wants me to fail at my life changes, but because he wants me to break these strict Atkins rules that don't apply to him. Since those rules are not relevant to him, its easy for him to miss out on their importance for me.
So the question is how do we make others understand the importance of our low carb lifestyle without seeming like weirdos?
Do you have friends and family that tempt you? How do you handle it?
