[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, we were recently going to a dinner party at a friends' house where the food is always pretty bad. I love the company but the food is always an afterthought and ranges from mediocre to terrible.

In anticipation of this, I treated myself to a big, late lunch eating something I really enjoy (smothered burrito at my favorite Mexican spot). I showed up at the party not hungry at all, took small servings, ate all the salad and veggie side, pushed the unappetizing main around my plate a bit, and called it a day. I made a point of praising the salad.

I brought dessert to the party so I knew that would be good.

I was not at all annoyed by the bad food because I wasn't hungry and had taken care of my needs separately. So I could just enjoy my friends' great company and not worry about the food.[/quote]

This is OP. There is one house in particular where I tend to need/want to do this but the host always calls me out! “Why aren’t you eating that? What? Are you on a diet? Are you vegan now (I’m not and they know).” Etc. It’s very uncomfortable [/quote]

Yes! We have neighbors and family as such .. 
We recently moved into our neighborhood .. and one family is ALWAYS forcing food on us.
I had to ask my husband -- Do we look hungry? 
We're constantly graciously declining
