People misremember/misreport what they were according to their self-image bias?

I think sometimes people hear it as a criticism of them. 'Well you don't need to lose weight... what must you think of MY weight?'

i.e. pre-judging the merits of my caring about this or what my goal is.

Yeah, just difficult if it's a last minute change, a very generous offer of hosting a group meal, and not someone I know super well enough to problematise it.

If you're in okay/good shape, no one has sympathy if you try to say 'Actually, I'm just trying to cut this winter, I can't.' You just sound fussy/ungrateful.

It's just stressful to think I'll probably undo yesterday's deficit and not even hit my macro targets.

If it's someone you don't know super super well, you can't even say 'What's on the menu?' or voice anxieties. My options are 'Make up an excuse and cancel' or 'Try to enjoy it and just accept that in this life you can't even make choices about your own food intake.'

How best to tell DC? I loved it anyway and there was so much promise from so many characters. It had the energy of 2000s Gail Simone Birds of Prey!
