I decided not to go to my parent's home, and therefore a family friend's baby shower. That wasn't entirely intentional, because I didn't know that I could have gone (thought that I was not invited). Part of me is bummed, because I guess that I could have gone, but not...totally because I know that if I went, I would have gone way over my calorie limit. Setting is important for me and at my parent's home, I cannot resist food. So I am sad and annoyed because my sister tells me afterwards that I was invited...but not totally because I also got my period and the cravings came-I ate more than usual but here, I can control what I eat and I didn't do a big binge like I would have at home. Anyone else ever skip out on an event? |

Absolutely! Even today, a mom of one of my boy's friends asked me to come over for a little party she was having....she said there would be lots of food. I immediately told her that I just can't go and I was honest with her about the reason. Luckily, she respected my decision. I've done that plenty of times. I hope that in the future, I"ll feel more confident about making good choices, but right now, I just want to lose weight and that's ranks as a higher priority than going to a party or a dinner where there will be lots of temptations. |

Sure. esp around holidays -- there's like a party every minute! It's fine to skip. Just send a nice "Thanks for inviting me! Maybe next time!" so the host knows you appreciate their thinking of you. HTH! A. |

I've never really skipped out but i have been through the whole not invited and then told later i was invited thing. i am becoming more ok with confronting people about the hurt feelings i had of feeling like i wasn't invited and try to move on. |

I've skipped out on events that weren't important to me. Holidays with the family I've never skipped out on because of food. I go and am able to pretty much keep a handle on things. But, some semi-acquaintance inviting me to a place where a bunch of food will be? I'll politely decline. |

HMM i'm the opposite i used to skip events when was heavier, cos i was so unhappy with the way i looked and couldn't dress as i choose, so now when i go places i feel superb when i dress up; and am happy with how i look.. so i go and usually eat before i go so therefore i'm not hungry.. NO LONGER WILL I MISS LIFE BECAUSE OF MY WEIGHT>> lifes to short.. |

I have skipped a few events too in the past due to weight and lack of confidence, but also now while losing weight due to temptations. i.e alcohol, snacks and food etc. Trying to stick to my routine now, theory is another 6 -8 good weeks and I am at my goal, then I can allow these things creep in while on maintainance, as these will happen in everyday life. |

I skip going out to dinner with friends a great deal because it's dang near impossible to find food at restaurants that fits within what I am willing to put in my body. Also, it's expensive! For other gatherings, I will often eat something before I go so that I am not tempted with food there, but it can be REALLY hard to resist food if it's sitting out in front of you. As for family gatherings, that's not really been much of an option for me, but I'll usually go light in the days prior so that if I DO eat too many of Mimi's brownies, my entire plan for the week isn't thrown off. I know where I'm going-- and I know where I've been.  Mini Goals: 135 - 130 - 125 - 120 - 115 - 110 |

I feel totally uncomfortable now at events where I can't control the food. I'll still go and make the best of it, but I don't like it. Then there's today. My niece's graduation is tonight about 2 hours away from me. I'm going, even though we're leaving the house at 5 pm to head to the graduation site. There will literally be no time for dinner that isn't fast food, and I'm going with people who are going to be hitting the drive through. So I'm dreading it, totally. To the point where I don't want to go...but it's my niece and I love her! |
