thinking ahead to mothers day

[harriet2]

what am i going to do this year?!

we normally go out as a family (about 15 of us!) to a local pub and have mothering sunday lunch..

now theres no way i want to sit there with a glass of water and have to explain myself over and over to everyone why im being 'antisocial' (ive not told anybody other than one sister in law and my husband and children)

im thinking just this once ill pretend im ill last minute...do you think thats awful of me

im just thinking it would save a lot of hassle and questions on a day where im supposed to be celebrating ME for a change lol

whats everyone else gonna do?

Just go , have great time, and enjoy the night, as you said they are family so they should understand, go on I would deffo go and drink water, or take a cold shake or even a flapjack, now chill Winston and have a smashing night x

Yeah i agree i would try to go along and have a good time, with water!! I've bee out for a couple of meals with my fiance and daughter and just not thought about eating just my weight! I was tempted today until i saw a very attractive and very slim woman!!! The thought of food disappeared instantly!

I think for mothers day i am going to arrange something at home for me, my mum, my gran and my daughter. They will all understand me not eating and if they don't its tough!! x
