Guest guest Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 , I can see where some might be offended--they might think you don't appreciate the food they have since you're bringing something that's just for YOU...maybe you can bring a side dish or something that's point friendly to share with EVERYONE and just eat that? and maybe split a hotdog with DH? That way it won't look like you're isolating yourself with your own food. hope this helps, riza > Well, with me being on WW I would not be offended. But I can see how others > would be.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 I personally would not be offended. I am aware that people have special deits, as I think most people are. I beleive that people will respect the fact that you are not expecting the to cater to you.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2002 Report Share Posted May 10, 2002 Anyone who would be offended by that is insecure and needs a good slap! It is not like you are saying their hotdogs taste terrible - in fact, they should know that you would love to have one. but they ought to respect that you are trying to make some changes in how you eat. I vote take them! -----Original Message-----From: lisa-c.smith.b@...

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 : I'm in the same boat. But I'm not sure that I can offer much help. I'm at 20 lbs above my " ideal " weight, but my PCP feels that I'm OK where I am, which is due to the fact that my health is so drastically improved. That's why--with her approval--I went ahead with my reconstructive surgery when I did. So I'm not even sure that I will go on to lose much more weight. I'm at -138 lbs, and perhaps 7 lbs more might be nice. I'm taking it one day at a time and only weighing in once a week. I figure that if I continue with my exercise and good eating habits my body will find the weight that it wants to be. I hope someone can offer better advice and some pointers. I'd appreciate it too.
