Accomodating restaurant...

[Bintheredonethat]

Went out for lunch with a group of friends.. looked at the menu and honestly some of their reaction because I ordered something that wasn't on the menu 🙄 literally I asked for two slices of wholemeal toast with three grilled tomatoes on top..bit of Italian seasoning .. had lemon and lime water... They thought it was a disgusting meal to eat.. ( I love tomatoes in anyway shape or form 😁 ) thanks to the staff who knew about my weight loss journey if I order the chicken that has a sauce of some kind or dressings it's automatically put to the side and I can put on how much I want .. infact today the waiter commented on my weight loss..24.6lb and still going strong one happy customer..😊😊😊

Fantastic, Patty! I must admit, I've found most restaurants to be accommodating and will do all they can to provide what you're wanting.

So close to 2 stone lost now and way overdue a new badge!!

I find most restaurants are willing to work with customers over their menus. As my step-daughter is a coeliac we have to get kind of nit picky with items on a menu. Most wait staff/restaurants are great. Any that aren't clearly aren't interested in my money and so I take it elsewhere!

Good idea to ask for sauces on the side too Bintheredonethat , I have heard that with salad dressing but hadn't thought about it for other sauces as well. Thanks for a good tip!

Great customer service, these little things make life so much easier.

You weren't making your friends eat the same were you? - otherwise their reaction's a little bit OTT, but doesn't it often happen if we don't fit in with the expectation of others?

Well done to you for sticking with your choice!

I also love tomatoes and that sounds like a really good meal to have out - I'll try it next time.

You've achieved a fantastic weight loss so far, and with your willpower (or is it won't power?) and getting the restaurant on your side you'll continue to do brilliantly!

No they all say there with burgers fries .. possible that one made a comment whilst I was away from the table re my weight loss..down to them if they don't want to try..me personally had got fed up with filling my body with rubbish food... And being talked into having same as everyone else..new me new energy.. 😊

congratulations on resisting peer pressure- you obviously must be a regular at the restaurant and its good that they are supportive of your choices
