I was at my grandpa's 80th birthday party this weekend in Utah and ran into distant relative who had no idea that I mentioned him in my book Stop Overeating Today! 33 Tips That Will Change Your Life He is my mom's cousin's husband. He was really surprised when I told him. We run into each other about every eight years, so it was a random thing for me to say, "I mentioned you in a book I wrote!" I showed him his cameo, in the eighth chapter called, "Get an Accountability Buddy Who Reacts Quickly."
So here's the story. You'll have to read the full version in the book, but here's the Reader's Digest version: I was at a pancake breakfast and there was a long line and I didn't want to have to stand in it twice in case I got hungry for seconds. So I got a lot of food, not sure what I would actually be able to eat. By the time I had eaten half of it, I was full. Thinking out loud I said, "I'm full. I don't want to eat this anymore." Then my cousin standing next to me, who was in town on a business trip, took my paper plate from my hands and threw it away in a nearby trash can. When I saw him on Saturday and reminded him of this experience, he asked me,
"Did you think I was rude?"
"No," I responded, "I thought it was brilliant. I didn't have to worry about overeating. The choice was made for me."
