I have a slightly amusing anecdote. I was meeting a female friend at a bakery today for lunch, and after we talked, we went back to the counter and oggled the delicious baked goods.
She said, "Do you want something?" and I replied, "No, thanks, I'm trying to eat better these days." To which she replied, "You're right, I probably shouldn't get anything because I'm getting a bit chubby."
Now, when I answered, it was the real reason why I didn't want anything. I have been trying to stay away from sweets because I think they're bad for me. The thought that she needed to lose weight had never even crossed my mind.
