Have you learned to tame the sugar beast this year, but are
dreading telling family and friends ‘no thank you, I quit sugar,’ when they
offer their homemade treats at holiday parties? The good news is, it can be
done. When Aunt Bertha waves her homemade gingerbread under your nose and says
‘I made it just for you!’ follow these tips for fending off the treats without
hurting her feelings.
When handling food pushers in your life, the trick is to
understand the meaning behind their actions. While they may not understand the
reasoning behind your decision to quit sugar, the real meaning behind their
food pushing often has nothing to do with the food itself but is often them
seeking for reassurance that they are liked and appreciated.
Before the food battles begin, spend some quality time with the
food pusher in your life to help them understand you do love and care about
them, but that love does not need to be expressed through food. Express to this
person ‘why’ you are learning how to quit the sugar addiction, and help them
see the decision not to eat their food is not personal.
While food pushers may be in abundance this holiday season,
learning how to quit sugar will prove to be one of the best decisions you have
made as long as you stick to your guns. For more information on how to quit sugar addiction, visit http://sugar-zen.com/
