  • Adventures In Dinning Out

    A friend of mine invited me out to dinner and wouldnt take no for an answer. She wanted to go to Lindburgers which is a place that specializes in excellent hamburgers styled with different toppings. I really didnt want to go.

    I ordered a "Delray Burger" minus the bun. It has mushrooms, onions and bacon on it. I got mayo on the side. My friend ordered some type of burger with an order of sweet potato fries. She kept saying "Oh go ahead. Try them" and I kept saying No thanks and tried to change the subject.

    Shes the very argumentative type so I didnt have the energy to discuss Atkins because I wasnt up to an argument or hear negative things from her, because she always thinks shes right! So I just told her I am pre-diabetic and she said, "Well dont eat anything white. But you can have the sweet potato fries. Its not white!" UGH!!

    To be honest, I've never had them before but I wasnt even tempted.

    Shes the ultimate mother hen ... always telling me to EAT!! LOL

    Oh .... I enjoyed my burger but the onions they put on there were SO sweet and looked like they cam out of a can! :yikes So I pushed them to the side.

            Maybe it is time to tell your friend that you are trying to follow Atkins strictly and promised yourself that you will not cheat at all for 2 weeks. Tell her that you fear that her comments are hurting your progress and that should make her feel guilty and shut her up.

            If not, then flat out tell her that she can enjoy the fries herself but you are not interested.

            Sounds like you need to grow a bit more backbone. There is a way to be polite but still firm. Sounds like you just got lucky this time. It is sure to come up again, and if the person pushing you keeps it up, you will need to put a stop to it. You can be polite for a long time, but if they keep pushing, you need to put your foot down.
