Yes! Just last night I had dinner around 6, then go to hang out with my friends and around midnight one of my friends gets this "intense craving" for mozzarella sticks, so we take a field trip to a 24-hour Wal*Mart just so she could pick some up, and while we're there, two of my OTHER friends decide that they want to get a huge frozen pizza. Of course I tell them "no, it's okay, I'm not hungry, I had a really big dinner," etc, and they're all like "are you suuuure??" They're not trying to sabotage me or anything, but they don't know about me trying to lose weight, and I always joined in on pigouts before, so I guess they just don't get why I keep saying "no" all of a sudden.
I always feel funny about saying "no" in front of a group of friends, too, because I feel like although I've already lost a little bit, it's not really noticeable yet. So I feel like, even if I'm resisting food all the time, right now I'm still pretty big--so, they might be thinking,
Why does she even bother? She's just going to go home and eat a bag of chips. or something like that. Of course I know they're my friends and they love me, but I just get paranoid. I feel like I can never
really know what my friends think of my weight, because we never talk about it.
