Restaurants, fear of food, etc       01/15/05 09:45 PM Edit Reply Quote Angie113 Reged: 12/31/04 Posts: 297 Loc: Alternate b/w Northern and Southern California Cara, I really identified with what you said about restaurants. I have become totally afraid of restaurants lately...When I first changed my diet, I would just cheat or not worry too much when I went to restaurants and now I try to be very careful since I have moved out of the dorms and started cooking for myself. It's been great, but I think it's made me MORE paranoid about other people's food. I had one BAD experience over Thanksgiving with my BF's family when we went to a restaurant and I was already totally stressed from holidays etc and not even hungry. So I ordered cooked veggies and I told the waitress I couldn't eat dairy. The veggies came, and they were clearly in a cream sauce!! I didn't want to be difficult and complain since I was in a big group and I wasn't hungry anyway, so I barely picked at it (plus it was eggplant which I am not too fond of), and then felt uncomfortable when my BF's cousin asked me why I wasn't eating, etc. So I am freaked about restaurants, although went to breakfast recently w/BF and ordered oatmeal with soymilk and it was fine. But breakfast is different than dinner! And I hated being difficult and asking if there was milk in the oatmeal, and asking for the soymilk... But, since I've been home with my parents for winter break (I feel safer with food a little when I'm home, comfort and less stressed thing I guess), I have tried some of Heather's recipes (Smoky Black Bean Dip, Cantonese Jok, Will's Rice Pudding, and Mexican Refried Lentils) with few problems, so I am proud to have tried some new things. A few people mentioned trouble with garlic, I have trouble with it when it's raw, but usually just a little cooked is ok. I am willing to try a new thing every week too, it's a good idea. I especially want to try adding more fish to get more omega 3s and protein, so if anyone has suggestions... Alright I think I'm finally done now, and I totally feel for everyone on this post, it's hard for us when we are so worried about feeling bad to not feel that food is a risk. I'm so glad the board is here so we can talk about it!!!! -------------------- ~Angela Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
