Went to Bonefish with my wife for lunch today. Watching her eat the bread was tough. I got a small grilled salmon. Ate 1-2 small pieces of broccoli and most of my salmon and that was it. Waitress thought there was something wrong with my food because I ate so little!!

I just got back from Friendlys with my husband and it was my first meal out. I had the tuna from half my sandwich and 2 fries. I had no desire to eat more fries.

I almost hate eating out now because I hate being questioned. Now when we go out I order water (even though I don't drink with my meals) and I will shuffle my food around on my plate and move some of it to my husbands just to make it look like I have eaten more!

I always ask for my water in a to go cup. I eat a little and they always think something is wrong with the food. I guess they assume big girl will clean her plate. But I get it in a Togo box and use it for lunch the next day or if my daughter gets hungry I will give her some. My biggest problem is nothing sounds good for the little I can eat.

I've eaten out several times....I just enjoy talking & always get a to go box! No one has ever questioned how little I eat...maybe because I distract them with talking! Lol

I've learned to order water even if I won't drink it. The waiter questions me if I don't. I still order a regular meal. I can't wrap my head around ordering something smaller plus the appetizers seem more fattening. Then I take almost all the food home. I would say I get several meal out of it but usually my hubby beats me to it.

I got a card from the doctor that asks the restaurant if I can order from the children's menu because i can't eat a normal portion because i have had surgery, but I don't care who knows about my surgery either

you could also ask for a smaller portion instead of childrend mwenu

I always order a regular meal, because I like having the leftovers for 2 more meals! I almost always get asked if something is wrong with the food, and I just say no, just wasn't too hungry, but it tasted great.

I usually try to Oder what my hubby eats cuz I really don't like eatting left overs. And for some reason I really can't handle eatting out anymore. Chinese used to be my favorite but I've tryed it twice now and it just makes me so sick. So when I eat out it usually salads with chicken.

Thankfully, I have a fit, but hungry man with a huge appetite. I highly doubt he'd allow my plate to sit there with tons of un-eaten food lol

But I'm only a week out. No experience with it yet.

I received a card too, mine also suggests senior meals in addition to the kids menu. They are usually real food scaled back a little.

Oh that's such a good idea. Or maybe lunch sized portions?... Idk if that's an option.
