If you think about it, you can probably predict who influences you to eat well and who you derail with. I know I can. I have a long history with some people. I have people I influence – I know I do. Especially as a Nutritionist – my eating something can be like permission for them. I am ashamed to admit that I can still be the worst influence, even with friends who could use my support and who really can’t afford to be eating badly. Oh, I have rationalized it by telling myself that they are responsible for their own choices, but I know that if I stayed on track, so would they. And it is easier for me to do that at this point than it is for them. Yet, sometimes my desire to alleviate my own guilt by having you eat along side me has overridden my compassion and kindness. Self gratification is a potent influence.
