You know the friend that always orders dessert, no matter the occasion? The waiter comes to clear your plates and asks if you want dessert and she glares at you with a look that says you had better eat some of this chocolate cake with me or I will "unfriend" you on Facebook. She is a Diet Sabotager. She preys on your weaknesses and exploits them with her sugary talons.
This holiday season, you are bound to go to a few special dinners or lunches with friends to exchange gifts and spread oodles of merriment. My tip today is to be the first one to order. She who orders first sets the tone for what everyone else orders. Think about it, if your friend orders a salad first, then you feel like a piggy if you order a burger and fries as said friend sits there munching on healthy greens. Same thing goes with the person who orders dessert. When that waiter (who just wants the tip to grow) drones on about how delicious the chocolate molten lava cake is, be the first to say NO to dessert. Or even tell our friend the annoying waiter when you order the main course. Say "hey there, we don't want dessert, so don't tempt us!" He or she will just have to deal with it.
I've done this and generally they laugh and say "on a diet, huh?" And you can say, "no, I just like to stretch naked..."
