My take on it is that LCing is a choice I make and - just like I don't expect others to try and change me - I don't think it's fair to make others change their eating patterns and behaviors to placate me. In fact, it took me a long time to get my BF to realize that I was okay with him ordering French Fries when we go to a restaurant. Yes, they smell absolutely wonderful, but I would rather have the health benefits I've gained since I started this WOE/WOL than a french fry. If I really really want a "treat," there are plenty of alternatives out there for me. I keep a small stash of SF candy if the mood strikes - but I rarely ever touch it (it takes about a month for me to finish a Ross chocolate bar).

If someone is deliberately trying to sabotage me, that's a different matter altogether, but I've not come across that yet.

It's weird, but I seem to have found a sense of willpower and determination on this WOL that I've never posessed before.
