~ Choose your company wisely ... sometimes we out grow friendships. If it truly bothers you, maybe do some activities with these particular individuals that don't involve eating.

Best " Burn " workouts come from cardio ... biking, swimming, running, dancing and high intense cardio programs ... ie, Shaun T and others. But ...
