    My fave line is "no thanks, I just ate a huge meal" non-dieters say it too so no one even thinks twice. I find that if I say "no thanks I'm trying to eat healthier" I get alot of annoying "oh cmon, you can cheat just this ooonce? don't you miss this? What CAN you have?" I'd rather just avoid all that with a little white lie.
    Or no thanks usually works just fine, but adding the huge meal thing makes it a solid NO.

    Tell them you're getting blood drawn in the morning and need to fast. Or just tell them you have gastritis.

    I had to get creative with my grandparents. "No thanks" to them translates to "Ok just one plate" and before you know it they got you in that chair and start plopping seconds and thirds on your plate. :grimace:

    I hate this. I always get a weird look as if to say 'do you have an eating disorder' ha

    Tell them you like them, but you don't like fast food.
