[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2409006, member: 401801"] T2 here with a currently insane diet, so... If you're finding it hard to bolus for restaurant food, have you tried asking for modifications? They'd rather change your meal than throw 60% of it in the trash, after all. I ask whether it's okay for me to be difficult, in the most apologetic way I can, and then ask them to leave stuff out and/or add stuff in. Like eggs, extra meat, or salad with olive oil or something instead of dressing, when that was still an option for me etc. I have a few places I frequent, and they know I tip well for the extra effort. (And leave positive reviews as well). As an introvert, having to ask for something special was, and remains, really hard, but I have never encountered a kitchen that didn't want to help. (One place even stuck a smiley face dessert decoration on my steak, so it wouldn't feel lonely on the plate, haha). Ask, and ye shall receive. [/QUOTE]
