Attention European Sleevers Or Potential Sleevers

[Queen of Crop 1,104]

Calling all sleevers or potential sleevers who were sleeved or who live in Europe. I just started a group called European Sleevers. Please join in and let's talk about kilos and metric measure and any special challenges or opportunities that we have here verses the US. (We don't have to worry about costco sized packages here!). But I also think there are fewer people with weight problems here too. And, then there's the little privately owned restaurants that look at you funny if you want to split a dish and look hurt when you eat so little! Please join in if you have a European connection. Tell us where you were sleeved and where you live and little about your story. I just relocated to Amsterdam from Hawaii so I am currently in the immigration process. Happy to be here!

Please do a search on the European Sleevers and join in!

Hiya, thanks for the invite, I joined! We have a member here (haven't seen her in ages though) called Ahoy, who was in Austria.

I have to say - just your group description already touched a nerve or two. The one about restaurants being upset when you don't finish your food is a thing that regularly stresses me out!

I know...especially when we were in Italy (the land of the 7 course meal...). I would eat just a small portion of one course and be done and they would say "You no-a like-a?? I-a fix-a you-a somethin' else....." with a very hurt look on their face...then when we didn't order more wine, or after dinner coffee or desert they would look at us like we were from another planet.....*sigh*. So in Amsterdam, we tend to go to Chinese, or Thai or Indonesian, where you don't have to order individual plates. Switzerland is a whole other story as you know! I hate going out to eat there....
