I decided I'm jewish- my office holiday party is next Fri and its an hours drive from home.. forget it.. but when people tried to make me out as anti-social I had the perfect excuse- it's during chanukah adn I'll be at a local hanukah party that night.. NOT we aren't going to that either... the official decision has been: I go to thigns I can't avoid- his moms or dads, etc.. and bring my own food in the car (or purse- luna bars) and eat if I can, if not I have fun.. and we get people to come to our house.. otherwise if I attend its with the intention of not eating and I tell the hosts... or if its a big thing, just the people I am going with. with working he shift I am on- it works... and yes working the 5 AM shift helps when you tell peopel you wont' be eating at a party that starts at 7 PM because its 15 hours after you got up and too close to bedtime... and since DH doesn't drink- the alcohol is easy to avoid too... meds.. thats it.. and actually right now with me on Celebrex thats true!
