I just started JC yesterday afternoon. I have a small amount of weight to lose so I am doing the trial membership for now ($1 per pound). In the last 24 hours I have been pleasantly surprised at how full I feel and how much I enjoy the food! My biggest concern will be when we are invited to eat at friends' or out with friends. I am not sharing my JC adventure with many people because I get a lot of "Oh, you look just fine..." etc. I would like ideas in advance for how to handle going to friends' houses for dinner or going out with people who don't know (or care) that you are on a special plan.
Thanks
Toni

Welcome Toni!
Congratulations on making the choice to have a healthy life!
I was just like you. I told NO ONE (initially). When I had to go out, I'd just order a salad or maybe fish. One or two bites of whatever side dish that came with the main entree was as far as I'd go. If someone asked, I'd just say that I was trying to eat healthier. (If you say "diet", the sabotage demons seem to come out of the woodwork.) After a while, some folks found out and I must say that with the exception of one meany, most everyone was supportive and had a lot of interesting questions.
Please keep us posted on your success! Drink your water.
Big Smiles,
Teri
