Amber runs into her friend Dave shortly after the Lunar New Year.
A: Well, you look a bit different from the last time I saw you. Have you gained any weight?
D: I was hoping nobody would notice.
A: Oh, I didn’t mean to be rude.
D: No worries, it’s fine. I definitely ate too much during the holidays.
A: Yeah, overeating during the holidays is hard to avoid.
D: Tell me about it! There are too many delicious dishes on offer.
A: Are you interested in shedding some weight?
D: I sure am. Do you have any suggestions?
