    my grandma is a little old german lady and she is constantly trying to give me sweets and little snacks she always thinks that just a little piece isnt going to hurt me lol...she means well i swear. but i had to learn to say no. i pre log. i log everything in the night before so i dnt always have to say no if i know there is some leftover cals in my "daily budget". she has gotten better over time if we are going somewhere and she wants food she will ask, can u have ..say taco bell, can u have a burger from burger king. and if i cant then i say no but she is still welcome to get herself some food and if i can i just say ya thats fine ill make it fit in my budget. you have to learn to not deprive urself, but also with respect, let ppl know how what they are saying or doing is affecting your progress. you have to have some self control because if they see you falling off, they will most likely help you the rest of the way down. they wont take it seriously if they see you aren't either! it takes time but u can do it.
