So you've made plans to go out for brunch with some friends (or family.) You're committed to eating healthy - perhaps as a lifestyle choice; but so often (likely more often than not) your commitment is still a struggle, something you must consciously commit to daily. But you're excited and ready. You've perused the online menu, know you're all about the egg-white omelet full of veggies and the french toast won't be calling your name.
You arrive at the selected restaurant, your conviction strongly in place as you order and the meals arrive, and within one or two bites your friends (or family) begin pressuring you to try their meal - the french toast (or another delicious, but less healthy, option) you so purposely did not order.
Ever been in this situation?
So have we.
So how do you handle it?
There's a great article over at The Whole 9 Life with not just some advice to get you through a meal, but also ways to understand the meaning behind someone seemingly attempting to sabotage the already hard-won fight against yourself.
And next week The Whole 9 Life will be sharing some advice on how to respond.
We'll be sure to pass it along.
