Is It OK to Say Something About a Pal's Unhealthy Eating?
The other day I was out to lunch with my girlfriend who has been blabbing to me for the past few months about how she is finally getting healthy. I've been her number one supporter so I was thrown off when she ordered a very unhealthy meal at lunch — I just couldn't help myself from saying something to her when she chugged her second refill of Coke.
