It's my brother in law's 30th birthday next Saturday & the extended family is going for an Italian meal at a friends restaurant.
I have several problems:
1) My wardrobe is 14/16. I am 15 1/2 stones. I clearly don't fit in anything. I'm surviving in leggings & baggies for work which would be inappropriate to wear. I don't want to spend £ on an outfit I never want to fit in/wear again.
2) Everyone will be eating and expecting me to eat. I don't want to. I was going to have grilled chicken but really don't want to. I don't want to create a bad impression to his extended family but what else can I do?? I would be offending their friends who own the restaurant if I ate nothing.
I'm at the point where I don't want to go at all now but don't want to let my partner down who would then go without me.
Stress.
Opinions please lol....
