I do want to look out for me, but the way I'd like to do it isn't by dragging food around with me every time I get invited somewhere. I'd much prefer to just eat my dinner before I go over there and then no eat there. I'm just not into social eating anymore. Why can't we just go visit people and hang out and not feel like we have to eat? And I don't really want to have to lie and say that I have a medical condition because that just opens the door to too much nosiness. I just really want to eat at home and then go see people....sounds simple in theory, but I just don't know how to tell people that without offending them. <sigh>
