Doris E. Fletcher of Kendall Park, New Jersey, once contributed a story to "Reader's Digest" (August 1990), about her daughter's struggle to lose weight. She wrote that one day, as a slender friend walked up their driveway, the daughter lamented, "Linda's so skinny it makes me sick."
The mother suggested gently, "If it bothers you, why don't you do something about it?"
The daughter answered, "Good idea, Mom." Then turning to her friend, she called out, "Hey, Linda, have a piece of chocolate cake!"
