OK..sorry, need to blow a little steam....
I use to be a waitress..when someone ordered something unusual....I did my best to get it right the first time so they felt comfortable. It was NOT my business as to "why"...I just brought them what they ordered. Period!
This is my second go-round with
atkins. I was on it over 2 years ago and had great success. I actually got up to 160 pounds (from 122) and started low carbing on my own, with no support. The one thing I hate....is ordering in resturants, most of all if other people are present besides my family.
"no rice please, just extra salad will be fine"
THEM> "but, it comes with rice, what do you mean?"
"I don't care for rice or potato...please, just extra salad"
THEM>"Well, I'm not sure we can do that...and extra salad may cost you more"
etc....etc...etc....
I eat out for most dinner meetings. It means ordering my meal infront of other people. I used to LOVE eating in resturants because I would order "stuff" I usually wouldn't eat. I guess I will have to stick to having ceasar salad for suppers....or maybe a taco salad, with no tacos(hopefully that won't be too confussing)
I have this problem..if it's on my plate, I'm very likely to have a few spoonfuls...even when I'm telling myself.."don't you dare put that in your mouth"...I still put it in my mouth....lol. I just can't have it on my plate.
Thanks for the chance to "blow off my steam".....I think I know the answer...but it's just the fact of embarrassment is all.
