I've been trying to research the best way to tell my German (non English speaking) friends that I'm on a diet - whenever they offer me dessert or sweets I find it easier to accept and give in...lol! I've found the phrase "Ich bin fur die schlank Linie" on the internet - is this the commonly used expression or can anyone advise me of a better one?
Many thanks from a sweet toothed, over weight, Essex girl !

That sounds funny it sounds like you were saying ´ "�m for the skinny line"
And if they ask why you want to diet..
"ich will abnehmen, deshalb will ich kein süßes Essen haben!"
"ich will abnehmen, deshalb will ich kein süßes Essen haben!"
i think it's obvious why i want to diet...lol!
Ich bin auf Diaet. (well not really... )
)
Bitte keinen Kuchen für mich. Ich bin auf Diät.
