Feel weird dining out

[jurisjitsu 9]

Who here still feels weird dining out?! I feel so weird when I see other people eating or when I get sick from eating the smallest thing still. It depends - hit or miss.

I love going to eat out now. I don't care if I order just a tiny thing or a whole plate and take most of it home. It's so nice to be out and back to normal life. I just miss my wine. lol!

I go out to eat all the time. And usually take home about 2/3 to 3/4 of my meal. It doesn't bother me and mentally I'm calculating how much money I'm saving on meals since I get 2-4 meals out of anything I order (even better when someone else pays!)

What cracks me up is when people who don't really know me comment "You're being so good". LOL

I feel weird only when the waiter/waitress continue to ask... is everything ok? Yes, I just can't eat much, is what I usually say and they still ask continuously!!

Ughh frustrating!

When I'm with my friends sometimes I'll grab a piece of cheese or something and eat it and be like 'WOW! That was a huge meal. I'm stuffed now! THanks." haha! They hate me.

YES, and have to tell them... don't take offense I just can't hold it all. Really, it was good.... it drives me insane that they look at you like you're a liar!

Maybe try asking for a to go container when the waitstaff serves you. That way you could put most of your meal in the container. That might help avoid the attention over not eating

Yeah I still find it annoying.

Maybe ask for the to go box first thing...that way you could take some off your plate and hide it away.
