How do I say it politely?
I am getting really tired of people pushing cakes and cookies and junk on me, and getting offended when I say “no thank you, I am on a diet.” People say, “you look fine, you don’t need to lose weight, one piece won’t hurt you, or tomorrow is a new day.” Or they say, “You don’t need to diet, just eat right and exercise.”…
