[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a size zero (genetics) and I don't give two hoots about what my friends eat when we go out together.  Get what you want![/quote]
You have won the genetics lottery. If I do not stick to consuming no more than 1200 calories/ day, within the 8 hour period per day, my size 14 frame will become a size 20 in a matter of months. I am glad you don’t care what others order but I do get all types of “advice ” from my slim friends when eating out. It’s frustrating but I just go along and let them order for me.

If someone is commenting on and, indeed, dictating what you should eat, you deserve better friends.

I’m slim, but exercise a ton and eat a lot. One of the most awkward meals I’ve ever sat through was with a visitor who ordered a teeny tiny side salad while everyone else ordered normal meals. It couldn’t possibly have been enough to be satisfying, and I felt bad that she was so self-conscious. She was neither ill nor picky, and I’m sure it was out of fear of being judged. That was 20+ years ago, and I still wonder if there was anything that could have been said to make her feel more at ease without making a huge deal out of it all.[/quote]

I have been that person and no, there's nothing you could have said to make me more at ease. Drawing attention to it would have been worse. [/quote]
