Won’t take no for an answer

Just looking for some advise on how others would handle this.

I regularly meet up with a friend for a coffee, we sometimes have a cake too. I am trying to loose weight and have found by eliminating calorie heavy food such as cake works better for me than having it occasionally, I have a bit of cake realise how nice it then ending up eating it more often zero control and comfort eat.
However she just won’t take I don’t want any for an answer I have explained my reasons but she will repeatedly encourage me to eat it. She means well but I know what works for me and I have better control if I cut these foods completely. I have tried telling but she just says you don’t need to loose weight. I am not super overweight but I certainly would benefit from loosing a bit of weight.

anyone got any suggestions how to get the message across.

Don’t make any excuse, just say you don’t fancy it and thanks anyway

Keep saying NO THANK YOU and just don’t eat any.

She can't force it down your throat, so simply don't eat it. Meet her at places that don't sell cake. 🤷🏻‍♀️
