Don't Ask...

So I kept it clean while eating at my in-laws today.  I brought all my own food and drink so I could be sure to have clean choices on-hand without getting into drawn-out discussions about what constituted a "clean" meal and why I was choosing to not eat other foods.  Watermelon is not "unclean" or "dirty" but it's not on my plan right now.  I'm not saying it's bad, just that it's not something I'm eating right now.  I got through the evening without incident, though my jug of Crystal Light drew the usual comments about hydration and bathroom-runs.  All that being said....

Don't ask a question if you're not going to listen to the answer.  That's just a pet peeve of mine.  I get rather annoyed when I'm asked about why I'm eating (or not eating) a particular food, just to have my explanation tuned out.  I try to keep my explanations relatively brief and to the point.  I'm not looking to argue with anyone about how I eat.  I'm not looking to convert anyone to the meal plan that I follow.  I have my own plan and I know it wouldn't work for everyone.  It fact, it's not suited for everyone.  Just as someone else's plan is not necessarily suited for me.  If you have questions about the choices I'm making, I'll happily answer them as best as I can.  I'm not a nutritionist, but I have learned a lot about food, dietary plans, and nutritional needs over the years.  If I don't know something, I'll be honest about it.  If I do know something, I'll do my best to educate or explain.  But please do me the courtesy of actually listening in response.
