Oh I hate it when this happens.. I can't argue either.. No wonder I gain a few kilos every time I am in Kuwait lol!

What works for me?

I say I have a bad stomach and can't eat anything but (insert unheard-of name of soup here).

i know! this sucks! u know what works: use a very obvious hard excuse like "i don't eat bread" then they will understand that you really DO NOT want to do what they ask

I was YOU!

Couldn't for the life of me ever say No!

Until one day I had just ENOUGH..

Try it @ home.
Imagine certain situations and practise saying NO firmly.

It worked wonders for me ..

Seriously,
SAYING NO will SET YOU FREEEEEEE ***

Can I have a saj sandwich. I love them!

Oh and always be ready with an excuse if you REALLY don't want to eat, like I just ate on the way to work, I had a big breakfast, I'm going out tonight for dinner and don't want to lose my appetite.... You're a smart girl come up with a smart lie :)
