Dear party hosts….
Honestly speaking for a lot of people.
Nothing will irritate someone who is trying to focus on their health like another person shoving deep fried, sugar coated whatever in their face.
“Oh come on, live a little! It doesn’t look like dessert is gonna hurt you!”
“Eat!!! I don’t want this food to go to waste!”
Or the best one…
“You shouldn’t be on a diet! You look fine!”
Turning down a serving of this or that isn’t a strike against the party host. But on the other hand, the person turning down something shouldn’t feel the need to prep an excuse or be shamed.
Many think it’s offensive for another to not eat what they cook. I think it’s offensive for people to expect everyone to want to eat something that they don’t want.
So there. I said it.
