I said no

10 Apr

I wonder if the word “no” is a hard word for overweight people?  I don’t like saying “no”, it’s hard to say “no”, I feel bad saying “no”.  I guess the answer to my question is quite obvious – overweight people certainly don’t say “no” to themselves in one common way.  Ha.

I said “no” today.  I was supposed to go to a mom’s get together thingy.  All the moms in the playgroup I’m a part of were getting together tonight, sans kids, and bringing a food dish – starter/main/desert – and do a recipe while also participating in good food and cheer.

No.

I can’t.  I can’t go.  I know, I know – I COULD go in theory.  I could go and just drink tons of water and a salad beforehand.  I could take teeny tiny peices.  I even considered going and NOT taking a dish myself because then I’d feel bad and not eat anyone else’s food.  But I decided to put myself first and say No because I don’t want the challenge.  I’m not strong enough for it right now.  I feel bad like I’m letting others down.  People have been wanting to hang out – maybe I’m the group entertainment, I dunno. But court jester or not, I’m taking THIS seriously…

I said no.  And it was the right answer, I’m sure.

    It’s ok. I’m sure she understands :) Sometimes the easiest way to resist temptation is to avoid it all together.

    It’s actually like 20 women, lol, but yeah – they get it or they don’t. I actually got an email from another one of the moms, and she wasn’t going for much of the same reason. I told her we could have gone and suffered together lol, at least we wouldn’t be alone. BUt yeah, it was good I didn’t go – I’m feeling good ;)
