My friend Annie announced that she had started a diet to lose some pounds she had put on recently. We were both no stranger to weight gain and weight loss and this was the umpteenth diet we were trying.
“Good!” I exclaimed. “I’m ready to start a diet too. We can be dieting buddies and help each other out. When I feel the urge to drive out and get a burger and fries, I’ll call you first.”
“Great!” she replied. “I’ll ride with you.”
