My Latest NSV

[Feel2Young2B40 0]

We went out to dinner last night with the kids and our neighbors to Outback. I wasn't really hungry so I mustered up the courage to ask for the first time if I could order off the kid's menu. The server was very nice and said of course - not a problem. Well, dinner came and they were handing out the food and a different server couldn't figure out where the extra kid's dinner went. Raised my hand and avoided eye contact because I was embarassed.

Onto the NSV - by the time everyone had cleaned their plates, I was full and only was able to eat 1/3 of the kid's meal! I took home a "doggie" bag with the balance! I figured then the server knew I wasn't just trying to be cheap!

Thanks for letting me share!

Wow! This is encouraging. I was invited out to lunch with a friend a week ago and got out of it becuase I was so nervous about being around so many tempting foods, and I didn't want to order a full meal of something it would take three days to eat!

Don't be embarassed about ordering from the kids menu. Who cares if they think you are cheap? Fooey on them! *laughs*

I order off the kids menu quite frequenly. And I"m never embarrased about it.

Good for you! excellent work.

Great NSV! I have been getting embarassed when we eat out cause I get full on about 2 bites. Then I have the whole meal to take home. I know I shouldn't be embarassed, but I am. Good for you for ordering off the kids menu!! I think I need to either try this or eating off of everyone else's plates, like someone on here mentioned. I just hate going out to eat now!
