standing to eat.....

By J_BandRanger

· 586 views

When i'm home, of course i can stand up and walk around and take forever to eat...but we go out a lot and this was becoming a problem!!

so now (in a restaurant) i have to find an excuse to stand up and walk somewhere during my meal. otherwise, i get stuck! so when i get that feeling, usually after a bite or two, i either have to stop eating altogether or I walk to the restroom, or pretend to get something (buffet line), etc... It's kind of funny b/c i'll tell my husband, "I'm going to get you a napkin, fork, etc..." but he doesn't need any of these things!! LOL!

I've also resorted to putting my food in a take-out container and finishing it in the car as we drive home. this way, i can take my time to eat (60+ minutes) but my husband doesn't have to sit there, bored to tears, waiting for me!!

I'm glad to have restriction!!! :biggrin:

    Oh can I relate to this! The other day I had lunch with a friend I hadn't seen in a long time. I had to go to the bathroom twice and still took an hour! She was done and ready to leave before I finished 3 oz of protein lol. :-).

    I know - at home I will do all of the dinner dishes while I eat. At least the kitchen is clean by the time I finish eating..LOL

    I almost always "have to go to the bathroom" after one bite of food. If I take one bite then walk a bit, I'm good to go. Walking to the bathroom always seems to be a good excuse, then I'm set for the rest of the meal. I don't know why it is just that first bite.
