If you know the person well, you may be able to bring it up in conversation. Of course, this tactic could get very awkward very quickly, so be prepared for that. Try to use humor if possible. If you're not comfortable bringing it up in conversation, move on to trying a note. For instance, you could say, "I enjoy running around the house naked as much as the next person, but I do remember to close the blinds, unlike some people we know..." If it seems the exhibitionism is happening by accident, it may be best to just drop the person a note. For example, if the person is just walking around getting ready with the blinds down, they may not realize people can see in, and you'd actually be doing something nice to tell them so. You can try addressing the note anonymously so the person is less embarrassed. You could write, "I really don't want to embarrass you, but I want you to know that people can see in your house while you're getting ready in the morning. You might consider closing the blinds in the future." If the person is exposing themselves intentionally, dropping a nice note may not work. However, if you try appealing to their better nature by letting them know there are kids in the area, you may be able to get to them stop, at least during the day. If they don't stop after your first note, consider dropping another one that's more pointed. You could write, "Hi, I am the person who sent the last note about you exposing yourself. Apparently, you are doing it intentionally. I would like to remind you that there are kids in the are who can see your nudity. If you won't stop for me, consider stopping for the kids. If you don't, I'll have to get others involved."

Fructose inhibits your leptin receptors and makes you less sensitive to the leptin in your system. You may have plenty of leptin in your body, but if it can't be picked up and identified, it won't do you any good. So cut out the fructose—namely, high fructose corn syrup—to let your body do its job.  Many processed foods contain fructose. The simplest way to reduce your intake is to avoid anything prepackaged. If you’re worried about fructose, don’t rush to drop fruit from your diet. While fructose occurs naturally in fruit, the amount that you get from eating fresh fruit is not enough to affect your leptin sensitivity. Simple carbs (refined, sugary, and generally white) spike your insulin levels, which in turn leads to insulin resistance and messes with your leptin sensitivity. So white bread, white rice, and all those delicious baked goods that are calling your name are now on the no-no list.  Darker, unprocessed grains, such as whole oats, quinoa, and some whole wheat pastas tend to have more nutrients. However, be aware that these complex carbs are still carbs, and they can still lead to leptin and insulin resistance if eaten in excess.  Talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian to determine how many complex carbohydrates you should be eating every day. . Eating a diet designed to lower your triglycerides (a type of fatty molecule that circulates in your bloodstream) will also increase your leptin sensitivity. This means cutting back on sugary foods, alcohol, carbs, and saturated and trans fats.You can also reduce your triglyceride levels by eating healthy fats (such as the fats found in fish like salmon and tuna), lean proteins, green vegetables, and high-fiber foods like beans, whole grains, and fruit. Seriously. Don't do it. It just messes with your metabolism and messes with your hormones, leaving a permanent mark. And you will probably wind up gaining the weight back and then some! So pick a diet that is sustainable and healthy. Your body can't handle bouts of starvation between bouts of junk. Crash dieting is another mistake that hurts you in the long run. Crash diets won’t boost your leptin sensitivity, and are unlikely to help you lose weight. If you do lose the weight, you are likely to gain it back again quickly.
