The Surprising Power of Just One More - PHH 225

Imagine you're looking at a box of chocolates, knowing you've already had at least three too many. Your hostess is holding out the box to you, saying, "Have just one more. It couldn't hurt."

In fact, I'll share three things that you absolutely must avoid, and I'll tell you why.
