Shelly B Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I am traveling for business with a large group of people. I am ok with having weird eating habits in front of people - I actually think theirs are more weird, and kind of SAD but, what I didn't expect was so many unexpected things! We arrived at our destination and went to lunch. It was a semi-fast food type place where you place your order at different stations. I found a chopped salad with chicken, with vinegar & evoo - perfect! I could even add my own amounts of dressing like stuff - but! it came tossed with pasta! Time constraints prevented me from re-ordering. I dug out what I could and made sure I did not eat any pasta, but it was like half the salad and I left hungry. Luckily, I packed some snacks, so I was ok. Then came dinner with an even larger group. Again, I ordered a spinach salad with chicken - the safest thing on the menu - minus Gorgonzola and croutons. Of course, it came with the gorgonzola! Mostly on top mixed with the chicken, so I picked at the underneath spinach leaves and drank my sparkling water while everyone else had beer & pizza. Now I'm in my room, sad that the whole foods grocery store down the block is closed and munching on some dried fruit, carrot sticks and primal pacs jerky. I would like a meal - just snacking makes me feel like I haven't really eaten. I don't even know why I'm posting or what my point is - except that I feel like the only one in the world eating this way right now, and I wanted to vent where I knew there would be people who would understand. A few more days like this left - I'm determined to make it. This was day nine for me - I think I did okay even with the obstacles presented.

SarrizleP Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I would have sent the salad with the cheese back. Also, whatever meals you get you could also add a side of steamed veggies to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Oh we so understand. How frustrating and very unsatisfying for you. I'll bet you can't wait to get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittycat Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Shelly, I feel with you, had the same experience quite a few times now. It feels easy to go to a restaurant and order the right thing but in fact it is not always that easy... Keep the spirit up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melany Anderson Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Definitely speak up if your order was wrong. I would have sent it back for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
