OMG, I need to vent! I just spoke with a good friend who is co-hosting a block party today in her neighborhood near mine. They are expecting about 100 people, bringing foods of every description including tons of desserts!!! She wanted to know if I was coming and I said No, because I'm finishing up a DietBet and wouldn't be able to eat any of it. Her response was to say, "Oh come on! Use a little self-control! It will be fun!" I had to bite my tongue to keep from saying the obvious... NOT coming IS using my self-control! Family and friends may love us, but they're not always very supportive!
