My neighbor has invited my husband, daughter and I to her house for dinner Saturday night. She is having spaghetti. I have to go and I have to eat. She is going through a very nasty divorce and her self-esteem is rock bottom. For me to not eat what she prepared would be very hurtful to her. So....what do I do???

Is she having salad with the spaghetti?

I would hope she would understand if you told her you were trying to lose weight and can't eat spaghetti just yet.

I had a brunch at church my first week on the SBD and felt like it'd be rude of me not to eat what was given, but no one said anything. I ended up eating eggs and salad and declined the rest.
