So sorry for starting so many threads, I'm just curious about loads of stuff.
One of my best friends died suddenly in December. It was a huge blow to me, as I'd lost my dad not long before. It's his birthday on Saturday, and his family and I are going out to celebrate it.
Trouble is, we're having a meal. This is an event I can't miss. I really want to celebrate my friend's birthday, even though he's no longer here. But I'm worried about how I can work it with this diet. I don't want to bring my own food along as it seems extremely rude. There is no way I will cancel it.
I've been thinking that I should lie and say I'm ill and that's why I'm not eating a dinner. But I'm worried about sitting around people eating. It will be tempting and also I'll look weird if I'm sat there fiddling with a glass of water. But I don't want to cheat on my first week.
What do you do when you have situations like this?
