We are getting together for a dinner and dessert potluck with our Life Group from church. I know that it will be a little uncomfortable because we have been doing another study on that night and it will have been a while since we have seen many of them.

But my plans are to not eat ANY dessert. If I see a dessert I just can't resist, I'll put that on my list of things to make one day. I will eat the meal, but as planned with 3 oz. protein, 1 grain serving, 1 fruit serving, 3 veggies and 2 fat (as available).

That is so weird that someone would just buy you jeans. That woman should know better than to put people in that situation. Silly. Glad you survived that.
You are better than me to do no dessert!

Well...survived!

Ate a pretty healthy, moderate dinner. NO dessert(s) at all!!! Huge victory! And was able to process and survive a pretty awkward situation. One of the ladies says, "Hey all the ladies...in the bedroom." We get in there and there are about 30 pairs of designer jeans and about 5 sweatshirts. The hosts had just gotten back from China and got us all jeans. ...uh, or shall we say all jeans from sizes about 22 to 32. Uh, my butt hasn't seen a size 32 jeans since high school. How completely awkward and embarrassing!!! I just sat there repeating in my head "don't cry, don't cry." And just sort of sat there smiling, hoping no one would draw attention to the fact that I wasn't trying on the jeans. One skinny girl kept saying try on the sweatshirt (uh, it was a M), and she was trying really hard to shield me from the embarrassment. But at the end of it all, I survived it without having to eat to deal with my feelings and didn't have to cry. VICTORY!!!
