what can i say to friends?

on a recent (sober!) night out (not that they noticed i wasnt drinking) for my friends eighteenth, the drunk birthday girl said they've been talking about me, and are going to shove food down me when they next see me!

i dont want to tell them i'm on lipotrim!

its not like i didn't fancy a mcdonalds at 3 am haha!

I'm not telling anyone either as people don't understand it and start saying I'm mad and just eat right. if I could that in the first place I wouldn't be on it again! don't let anyone make you feel bad for being on the diet! the biggest treat you can give yourself is being happy about yourself. would your friends be ok about it if you told them? maybe they are worried about you as they see you losing weight and not eating.

Just tell them you are on a diet which requires you to have these shakes for a while. If they are your friends they will understand, or just say you can't at the moment for medical reasons- you are on antibiotics or something which means you can't drink. Whatever you say, if they're good friends they will accept it. Good luck.x

I've told everyone im on antibiotics this wkend so can only drink water while out! After this weekend im telling them im saving up as i want to go visit my family in america in november.. so no meals out etc..
I think until you are overweight and need to lose weight, people dont realise, that going down such a drastic route, as not eating is actually a good thing to do...
I know if i was thin and had not researched this diet and one of my friends told me, that they weren't eating just drinking shakes, i honestly think id try talk them out of it.. When people are unclear about the diet it sounds mental.... the point i'm trying to make is - if u decide to tell them, explain it properly (not when they are drinking) otherwise they might try to talk you out of it... Good luck with that one!!! xx
