Sometimes you DO get what you ask for

Last night I had dinner with two colleagues; the annual holiday dinner gift exchange thingy.

Nancy was given a pan of this awesome chocolate/coconut/peanut butter/graham cracker dessert that Juliette makes this time of year. I was given none.

So kiddingly, I said to Juliette "where the hell is mine?"

Her response: "You told me you didn't want any sweets this year."

Yes, that is what I told her. And she listened. She really listened.

Yes, people will listen to your wishes.

If you tell them.

And they know you're serious.

Do all the people in your life know that you're serious about your health and weight?
