I am going on trip soon with a group of people, one of them I know very well and we are both focused on eating well and exercising as we have both lost weight. The others I do not know as well but my closer friend spoke to me that some of them are struggling with weight so we have agreed we will not talk about our own weight loss while we are away unless someone else asks or brings it up. Just that we know it might be a sensitive topic.
The organiser of the trip (not me or my friend) has asked for contributions to food/drink so there is a pretty large budget for this now. They are ordering/organising it all and they have since given a vague overview of what it’s going to be (takeaways and unspecified alcohol) they have not asked if there is anything we would like or particular preferences.
Not only am I on a weight loss journey I also have IBS and history of gallstones (hasn’t flared up for many months), this is made a lot worse by any greasy foods and fizzy alcohol. My DP thinks I should just be polite and eat whatever is presented to me and enjoy it but frankly I don’t want to spend the trip on the toilet 🙈 or bloated and feeling rough. Tbh I also don’t really want to gain weight.
I’ve already given money though so do I say something or do buy more food/drink of my own? I don’t want to be rude or cause offence. I feel really weird about having no control over what food and drink I am getting for the money I have paid!
