I LOVE RIBS...no, you don't understand...I love ribs so much I have been studying for my PhD in Ribology. I even told my husband that I want to go on vacation to the big BBQ competition in Memphis so I can be a judge. He thinks I'm nuts. So why am I bringing up my healthy obscession with BBQ...well...a coworker told me about a place that has all you can eat ribs once a month and somehow I blurted out that we should organize a work party there. Everyone loved the idea and I now find myself going to an all you can eat rib night where I am going to suspiciously only eat a small portion at best. Ugh...now that was brilliant Thumbelina...how on earth am I going to explain not being able to eat much. I am fairly restricted right now and doubt I could eat much at all. Maybe I could get all liquered up before I go (wine and beer help relax the band...right...) but won't they be suspicious of why I took public transit (I don't drink and drive) and showed up tipsy right after work. They'll think I'm a lush. Hmm...let's see. I could pretend to eat a lot of ribs but when no one is looking shovel them into my purse. Or...I could say I forgot I have a cholesterol test the next morning and I have to be good. I think I like the getting liquered up one...at least if I PB, it won't seem unlikely...lol. I am just kidding about this plan, but I definitely should have thought this one out a bit before agreeing to an all you can eat affair. I think I need a BBQ Intervention...

If your band will let you... have some ribs! Just talk lots, or better yet, give everyone a chance to talk about themselves... and they'll never notice what you are/are not eating. Oh, and alcohol always helps... maybe you could all have drinks before? Then nobody will be noticing anything at all.
Ribs could actually be a decent choice. The meat is usually tender, there isn't always a ton on there so you could probably dust off about 3 or 4, and often times you throw the bones in a joint pile or something right? Could be a really good thing!
If anyone does notice and they might not you could say that you have a little bit of an upset stomach and you don't want push it. Or if they noticed already that you are losing weight just say that you are watching what you are eating lately and maybe that after doing it for a while you have found you don't get very hungry.
Have you ever tried par-boiling them in Guinness? Put a tin of Guinness in the next time you do them...omg SO GOOD!! Honest!
