Don't be daft we don't hate you at all (((hugs)))
I'm eating for 3 days this week due to the course I'm going on, I have to work through the mealtimes with my new teams so can't escape the meals like I did the 2 day course, plus one night it's a residential. I could be honest and tell them that I'm not eating and why but these are new people that I'm going to be working with for a long time and I don't want their first real memory of me to be 'that woman who doesn't eat' - I just don't want that kind of attention, so I'm all set for eating on Tues, Wed and Thurs and while I'm not looking forward to it I am looking forward to it if you know what I mean.
