I have stopped telling people that I "can't" eat this or that. The word "can't" implies that I want to but am just not allowed and fosters the response of, "Oh, a little won't kill you." Instead I now say I "don't" eat this or that, with the same emphasis that I would use if asked if I eat rat poison, dog poop or mushrooms, gack!!!
I used to have a healthy friend who simply didn't drink sodas, end of story. Instead of trying to convince him to just have a little, I respected him for having the determination that I lacked to try to be a healthier person.
