Re: Being scrutinized at the company cookout

Sometimes I just eat the burger with my fingers and say the bread ruins it, lol. I've also answered the looks with, "bread makes me fart".

LOL !!! I might try that line!

I know how you feel, Jack, and congrats on standing strong! I find at social functions I'm much more likely to cheat from the "peer pressure", but I'm working on it.

I tell people that I'm pre-diabetic. It sounds serious (and it is!) so people usually back off. Plus, it really isn't a lie: it runs in my family and I took that What Kind of Carb Addict Are You test in the Atkins book, and I fell in that category. Try that next time and see what they say!
