I've been in that situation too. I've looked them straight in the eye and said "Yes, it will hurt." They got the message.

What people don't seem to understand with this WOL is that many, many people - including they that do not understand - are addicted to carbohydrates. Would these same people say to an alcoholic "Just a little drink. It won't hurt you."?

Hide all the sugar for coffee in the office one day. Do it just for grins and see what happens.

I've found that what helps is to maintain that you are improving your health. You are losing weight too, but overall health and letting people know about it should be the overall goal.

You're right. It does suck when it happens!
