I hate lunch at friend's houses....

Cause they usually want to serve up fattening stuff.  Then I am stuck eating it.

Em

Ugh! I don't blame you!   Then I always feel self-concious cause I PICK at the foods- trying NOT to indulge TO much. My sister was on WW years ago... MANY years ago. I told her not long ago about my MIL sabotaging my WL. I *finally* heard back from her and she said this this: "You are so correct, that is exactly what she was doing and it is a known fact that I remember being preached to us from the first time I went to WW that people will do that to you especially family members." I feel for ya Em. Tomorrow will be LOTS better :)   

Sorry to hear that you had a crummy lunch.  It really doesn't sound that bad though, you eat so healthy as it is!  I do understand ya though, it's hard and very tempting to pass anything up.  Before when I lost weight I had to refuse every single time I had any kind of gathering with friends or coworkers.  I just hated being tempted to eat anything. 

What I really wish is that people would realize that your eating healthier and at least have one or two dishes that are adequate to eat without gaining five pounds for the day! 

Yeah, pretty difficult, all right.  I even don't like going out to eat much anymore. It is near impossible to eat for weight loss. The best you can hope for its to stay even for the day.

Oh, my poor Em.  I know how much that had to hurt your heart to eat that way.  But you really can't blame your friends for being ignut, they just haven't learned or practiced any better. I went to a friends house that I hadn't been to in a while and she fixed me a diet coke.  I really did try to drink it, but I just couldn't bring myself to put those chemicals in my body.  I poured it down the sink while she wasn't looking.   This from a woman who used to drink two two litres of Coke a day! Sorry you got cornered, Mary
