So the family have been invited out to a BBQ this Thursday and I'm struggling with what to do.
This is day 5 of CD, I'm SS, and I don't feel like I want to go for a number of reasons. Firstly I don't know if I would be able to stay strong with all those yummy BBQ smells - there is something so overwhelmingly tempting about the smell of fried onions! Secondly I don't want to have to tell people why I'm not eating, some people can be very supportive, some just bring you down with their negativity. And I also my first weigh in is the next day and I don't want to mess that up.
Thing is I know my husband would like to go. I've suggested he goes alone with the children but he says it's not the same without me. He's said he understands and that to support me we'll make some excuse and not go. But I'm known in my social circle for being anti-social (it's the weight thing - I never go out much because I think all people see is a fat person) but this time it isn't that - I just want to look after myself and give this diet the best chance.
What would you all do? How do you handle social situations?
