Saying 'No' to unplanned food and how to deal

So, I just wanted to talk to ya'll about each one of you deal with saying 'No, Thank you,' To the every polite and genuine ' Would you like some?'

I feel like at work, or when I come home its a constant question. Though I am always more than happy to share my meals with others, there are times I have to say no with such ferocity it almost gets me down. It is totally INFURIATING. For example, I came home, my brother was relaxing and asked the dreaded questions. " Would you like some of this? I can't eat anymore." I dont even bother to look at it. My brother, a bean pole at 6 foot, is addicted to sweet and sugary things. " No dude, thanks though. I appreciate it. I do my thing, shedding all of the **** I seem to accumulate from work to home.
" Are you SURE you dont want this? Its awesome!"
" No thanks, really. I already ate."
" C'mon you gotta finish it for me! It is just so good!"
" Seriously! Stop asking! No thanks!"

I feel like this attitude of " You have to have this!" Or " You know, if you are losing weight, you really shouldn't eat bananas." Follows me around EVERYWHERE. Its like I am embarrassed to bring my food to work because someone is going to make a comment about how healthy I am eating, and how they could never eat like that.

Anyway, how do you folks deal with these kinds of questions?
Or how do you deal with the the attitudes that come with your lifestyle change?

I always simply say "No thank you, I'm really sure." and if they ask again, I will say "Please stop asking me, I already answered."

I haven't really dealt with any attitude, so I can't answer that.

Everyone I cross paths with at work or home knows I'm watching my calories, so they hardly ask anymore, but when they did, they didn't pressure me like you are describing. I think you need to have a talk with your bro and let him know how disrespectful he's being to you and your goals.
