Some of have “friends” like this ultimate teaser.  A real friend won’t torment you or try to make your healthy eating plan harder for you.  Some folks tease or place temptation in your path  because they feel more of a success if you fail. After all, if you are heavier than he is, he will look good by comparison.  Avoid these people, at least until you have new habits firmly established.  And be sensitive and alert to the feelings of others so you can be a true friend, yourself.

Eating to live and living for Christ,
