    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 anyth

  • 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

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