" Every Valentine&amp;#039;s Day, your husband buys you a big box of fancy chocolates. This year, you&amp;#039;re on a diet. What do you do?  1) Accept the gift, but make a point of sharing it with coworkers or friends. 2) Tell him in advance that you&amp;#039;d rather he give you flowers. 3) Eat the chocolates, even if it&amp;#039;s just one a day for the rest of the month. Correct answer: (2) If you&amp;#039;re committed to losing weight, tell your husband before the holiday to skip the candy. First, let him know how much you appreciate his thoughtfulness. Then say, &amp;quot;Unfortunately, I love the chocolates so much that I&amp;#039;m afraid I&amp;#039;ll eat them all, which would totally undo my efforts!&amp;quot; Suggest that something more diet friendly \u2014 say, flowers \u2014 would be better. Don&amp;#039;t skirt the issue by accepting his gift and passing it on; you might hurt his feelings. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
