going out to eat with "normal" people (who are almost all overweight too) is highly problematic. a single "normal" meal at an Italian restaurant can be up to 1500 calories. I planned for it, but still. You can't go cheapo on a date and just get spaghetti marainara and skip the appetizers cuz then your date may feel self conscious on what she orders. obviously you are going to have a couple of drinks cuz you want her to also (he he). you can't do something weird like pick at your food, and you can't just order a single item like a salad or say "just bring me that 16 oz steak and nothing else. you can't act like you are dieting cuz then your date gets all self conscious herself lol. it's tough out there. that is why fat secret dinner parties would be kinda kewl. no one is going to judge that weird diet technique you use or if you just eat a salad lol

In my experience it really doesn't matter what you say or do someone somewhere will judge. I wouldn't worry so much about what others think in regards to what decisions you make about what you will or will not eat especially if it's working for you. FS dinner parties.....don't know about that.

true, Arabella, you can't worry too much about people judging you, but on a date you can't act all diety on the gal or it might not go well lol

Geesh, I'm glad I'm not dating, that's A LOT of "thinking"...lol. On a side note, I guess I never thought much about what the other was thinking...I remember when my husband (now) went on our first date. I said "ok, if I get anything stuck in my teeth please tell me, don't be embarrassed. I'll be mad if I get home later and find out it was there all night." He laughed and said "you do the same". We've been married almost 17 years! lol...

Date nights are a lot easier in maintenance, when you're in the middle of losing your don't want any distractions that could set you back. Don't sweat it, have your date meal and pick right back up.

Well, if the womanl isn't into you because of that then I say move along and forget her. To be honest I wasn't busy looking at my date's plate or what he ordered when I was dating especially the first date. I was more focused on what he was saying and how he was acting. Why hide the way you eat? That's your choice. Someone will accept it; the right one will. If it doesn't go well then hey....it wasn't meant to be. Let's say you eat something that you think will be acceptable for her and that leads to a second date, a third, etc.......don't you think over time she will find out your REAL WOE? Kind of ridiculous to pretend you eat a certain way just for a woman.

I would rather have someone tell me that they are on a "diet" or have a special way of eating than to sit across from them and wonder why they aren't....I agree with Arabella that if someone can't accept that, then let them go because it certainly will lead to other issues with expectations. BTW, glad to hear that your life is not on hold until you feel that you are just perfect....too many wait until "someday"...

I personally wouldn't care what you had on your plate as long as you were thoughtful, made good conversation and seemed fun.

Only my opinion, I would let the person you are dating know your way of eating is important to you. These are your values, perhaps a boundary. If the person gets weirded out, you may need to rethink if this is truly someone you want to be involved with. Telling the individual up front lets them know a little more about you and what you will accept/not accept. You might be surprised and find out your date is on the same page as you! 😉

Hope your date went good. I personally would be happy to date someone who was watching their diet... I sure wouldn't judge etc... You do what is right for you not her...
