No can do

Today there is a Sunday lunch in camp which I am not going to for obvious reasons. It's a roast dinner which I suppose is possibly one of the safest meals I could eat, but is it worth the risk? Would I want to pass out in a room full of people happily enjoying their meal? Would I ruin their day or worse still, become the talking point? The potential embarrassment factor is sky high. Sad isn't it that I'm more worried about what people think than my health? I feel freaky enough when I have to explain the situation - I'm sure people think I'm a faddie foodie hypo who craves attention!

And if I go and don't eat, how unbearable for a glutton like me, I LOVE roast dinner and today you can eat as much as you want! Also what will I do when people are eating, skulk round the edges of the room or prop up the bar? (not a bad thought actually), but then I'll end up fobbing off endless questions and my excuses are so lame.

'I'm not hungry'
'I've eaten already'
'We're going for food later'

See rubbish??

Anyway I'm not going.
