Can't believed you shoved it down your sock that's so funny!
Sorry to hear about your friend though.
Yes social events can be difficult. A few years ago i was vegan and ate no sugar, wheat etc because I had alot of pain with a condition called endometriosis and I was trying to cure it through nutrition. It was easy to give every thing up because i would get severe pain eating anything bad. Anyways luckily with a minor op it's been resolved but it's meant i've slowly got back into poor eating habits. Anyway I found during that time it was very easy to say no to things and just say it was for health reasons. People were very understanding if i said no I can't unfortunately it'll cause me alot of pain. I think if you feel you really can't then you don't feel guilty. Even though I won't get immediate pain from eating bad things anymore I still want to stop them for health reasons, but as it's not so necessary it has been easy to give into temptation so as not to upset people, but if ever I've had people round and they can't eat/drink for whatever reason I don't mind.
I found yesterday difficult, had coke cravings, but just ate alot of fruit.
Hope you manage to avoid cake at the wedding!
