Like a few of us on here, I haven't told everyone that I'm on LT due to the negativity etc.
I fully agree we should be able to be straight with people, but some people just latch on to anything, like you look a bit tired, or have a bit of a sniffle, to start bad-mouthing the diet, and I really don't want to have to deal with all that.
I'm in a pub quiz team and tonights the night. We all used to consume great amounts of nuts and crisps, as well as drink.
I've got out of the drink thing, by saying my hot flushes are much worse with alcohol (which is true actually) but I've got round them noticing my not eating the nuts etc, by reaching out into the bag (but not taking anything, making a big deal of shaking up the contents towards my hand and then putting my finger and thumb in my mouth)
I tell you what, I should get an Oscar for this!!
Can't wait to be back to "normal" and able to have (small amounts) of nuts again.
