MrsStick Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 ...when you have to move the drinks you won't be drinking for the next 30 days out of your fridge to make room for the food! Hubby had to move all the beers, ciders, and sodas (we bought a bunch of soda cans when they were $0.10 each for people who come over and haven't touched them since...) to our not-even-turned-on built-in fridge in our apartment until the next 29 days are over. Fridge tetris for the win! And hubby even initiated the moving (he's learning!) ...I feel like I over-prepared food this week, but at the same time...I'm constantly terrified that I don't have enough. This is hubby's first W30 (awwwwww) and my second full 30 days...and I feel WAY more pressure feeding him too. Last 30 it was just me, since he was out of town the whole time. I can eat bizarre meals just fine, but with him, I feel like I need to have everything be better and all perfect. No strange food combinations that are compliant but just random thrown-together stuff. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frantastic Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 When you are on a road trip, sipping a glass of cold silky zucchini soup, sprinkled with shredded chicken and this seems perfectly normal to you. When you travel with your own homemade ghee. When you sit in a restaurant with family, and you're not eating because you just couldn't feel sure about what they put in their food. When you stay up late cooking...all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann@HowcrossCastle Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Fran, I use teeny tiny little Rubbermaid containers with red lids. Got 'em in the grocery store. When I make clarified butter, I pour some into a couple of these containers and then put them in the fridge until they are needed for going out to dinner! I'll take a photo tomorrow. a.

Ann@HowcrossCastle Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Your make-up bag doesn't contain makeup, only travel sized bottles containing olive oil and balsamic vinegar so you don't have to rely on restaurant salad dressings.

Ann@HowcrossCastle Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Someone makes a comment about canned sardines and you immediately wonder what brand they use (was it packed with olive oil?), and you completely miss the fact that the term 'canned sardines' was a METAPHOR for a crowded situation.

lilgyp Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 You start lusting after having a large food processor, and when when one is unexpectedly gifted to you you practically get turned on and definitely get embarrassed that your father witnessed that. You become an arrogant prick (or to be a bit more optimistic, an excited enthusiast) around everyone you know, making sure that they understand the importance of reading ISWF, and, after a couple weeks they still haven't checked it out yet, becoming even more obnoxious. And I definitely am the judger of other food carts at the grocery store and get totally embarrassed when people see me even just looking at (much less buying) SAD foods for my husband.

little mighty Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 BEST. THREAD. EVER. Haven't read all the previous comments, so forgive me if any of these are repeats! ...they complain that apples are too sweet. ...coworkers start assuming they're vegetarian because of all the vegetables they eat. (True story! Ummmm...since when does eating vegetables make one a vegetarian? And how could you NOT see the chicken thigh nestled next to my roasted cauliflower?!)...they start salivating over organ meats. ...they turn down even the "healthy" sweets like homemade, nut- and date-based energy balls, because that sh** is some serious SWYPO. ...they carry meatballs in their purse instead of chocolate. ...they sit there and smirk while eating their zoodles and meat sauce because only they know it's not actually pasta. ...they're the only one who passes up dessert at holiday meals and opts for herbal tea. ...they start using strange words like "cauli-rice", "zoodles", and "no-gurt"....their ears perk up whenever someone mentions bacon, avocado, coconut milk, or coconut oil...."saturated fat" = fightin' words.

Munkers Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 ...coworkers start assuming they're vegetarian because of all the vegetables they eat. (True story! Ummmm...since when does eating vegetables make one a vegetarian? And how could you NOT see the chicken thigh nestled next to my roasted cauliflower?!) True story: I've been trying to explain my gluten intolerance to our ops manager for about a year and a half now. In her brain, this has translated into the idea that I must be a vegetarian. When she ordered pizza for the team, she made sure we had a cheese pizza because she knows I'm "picky." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
