" My good friend was really vocal about wanting to lose weight for her New Year&amp;#039;s resolution, but she&amp;#039;s helping herself to sweets a lot. Should I say something? It&amp;#039;s OK to offer some supportive suggestions, but don&amp;#039;t call her out as she&amp;#039;s reaching for the cookie tray. Diet and weight are touchy subjects, even between close friends. If she brings up the weight issue again, offer to exercise with her, or give advice couched in empathy like, &amp;quot;When I lost 10 pounds last year, the hardest part was avoiding sweets. I ate a lot of fruit instead.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
