[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think all of the posters who are saying that no one will comment on your food choices have never experienced being around family that eats unhealthily after losing weight.

I have a lot of extended family who are fat.  I never talk to them about what I eat -- it's the last thing in the world I want to talk to them about.  But, when they see me eating 1/5 the calories that they are at dinner, they make comments -- "you can have just a little dessert", "live a little", etc.  They also really, really try to get me to drink, even though they haven't seen me have a drink in years.

I don't talk about what I'm eating or not eating.  I say "no thanks" for dessert or other food that I don't want -- no more, ever.  Sometimes these one sided conversations go on quite long -- "Oh come on, you can have some pie!"

"No thanks."

"It's Christmas, live a little."

"No thanks."

"Well, at least have a glass of wine."

"No thanks."

"Ice cream?"

"No thanks."

"You know, you don't need to lose any more weight."

...

"Do you want some fudge?"

"No thanks."

It's a total PITA, and I minimize time around them.  Hopefully your experience will be better.[/quote]
