Cindi L. sent me this today and I want to share it with you.
From Clean Eating magazine & I thought these positive statements would be good for the group to help deal with potential saboteurs:
*I'm trying to eat better- say-Thanks, I'm going to pass for now.
*I can't have any-say-Thank you! I may have a little bit later.
*That's not good for you-say-Thanks, I'm full. Everything was delicious.
*I'm watching my weight-say-I just ate, but I'd love to keep you company.
*I'm not supposed to eat that.-say-It looks delicious! Can I have the recipe?
*It's too fattening.-say-That is so thoughtful of you to make it just for me. Can I take some home?
*None for me, thanks.-say-I'm going to stick with my water/juice/tea for now.
*I told you I'm on a diet!-say-I've had plenty, thanks. I'm going to pass on dessert for now.
Helpful tips for sidestepping sabotuers:
1. Express Gratitude
2. Acknowledge the Effort
3. Suggest an Alternative
The key apparently is to not make people feel rejected? And to never be caught off guard.
