Default Your favorite defense strategies against well meaning relatives

OK, so the story is that, this past Saturday, just 4 days into my Atkins journey, I screwed up. Like, royally. My downfall was a homemade French style pear tart with pecan cream filling given by a well meaning relative. Yes it was awesome. Never had pear tart before so I thought I'd just have one little spoonful to taste and it escalated into a whole piece. With vanilla ice cream. Then after that I went into my customary post-diet-fail tailspin and said, well, all is lost, had a second piece, and started in on the leftover mini candy bars from Halloween still lying around the house. Got back on the wagon Monday--fasted all day and had a satisfying low carb salmon dinner.

Given that the holidays are not far off, I know this kind of thing is probably going to happen more than once. What strategies have you found helpful in warding off well meaning people who press food on you?
