[quote=Anonymous]You should put up a firm wall about commenting on your diet by explaining calmly and clearly that you want them to stop whenever they do it. It's probably mostly carelessness and habit, not malice. The first time a person makes a comment, in a calm, low voice say "Joe, I know you mean well, but I prefer not to discuss what I'm eating with you. I appreciate you respecting that boundary." If Joe repeat offends, make it clear that it's a repeat correction. "Joe, I've asked you once already not to discuss my diet. It's a personal choice and having you comment on it makes my vacation less fun. Please stop." Someone might bristle but it's a perfectly reasonable boundary and look at it this way - if you swallow it, there's already X total discomfort, all of it on you, and almost no chance it stops there. By calmly and appropriately subjecting Joe to only a little discomfort, you probably stop the cycle. [/quote]
