Hi everyone, I’m brand new here and just started my first week. Usually I just read, but this felt like a safe place to ask something small. My friend’s bridal weekend is in three weeks.
The last one I went to was two summers ago, and I was about 80 pounds heavier then. I’m already picturing the group photos and the “you look so different” comments, and I don’t want the whole trip to become about my body or my medication.
Right now I’m planning to keep my plate normal, sip seltzer with lime, and step out for air if I need a minute.
Is there a polite way to redirect a toast or a comment without making everyone uncomfortable? I know it’s early and I’m probably overthinking, but I’d love any low-key phrases that have worked for you. Thank you.
