awkward first dates!

[HikeEveryMountain 112]

So this is not really a complaint, as much as just laughing at my new reality. But being newly sleeved, and going on some first dates lately (where obviously I'm not going to be sharing my surgery story), I eat like the silly bird girl who picks at her food and wants to appear all petite. Hahaha! That's so not me or my personality but my sleeve is the boss right now. So first date bird eating it is...

I would be okay with that as long as you follow 2 rules:

1. No pecking at your food like a chicken!

2. Order what you want, but you eat all that you order! No $30 lb lobster and you eat 5 bites!

The best way to sneak this past people is a cup of Soup and a side salad. Of course, they need to have a menu with a healthy Soup. But I usually can get in at least half, and salad is the easiest volume food I have found because it chews to almost nothing. Yes, you look like a light eater, but not the same as if you order something with meat and are finished in four bites! Make sure to eat the soup first - no need to upchuck on your date!

Dates don't have to ALWAYS involve food...
