Whenever my family and I go out to eat, i'm scared to order food..help?

Question

whenever my family and I go out, my mom and my sister order salads, and i order i burger, and they give me weird looks and they are like: are you THAT hungry?

i'm not fat at all. Me and my sister cheer together, and shes 'watching her figure' i'm pretty thin actually, but they think ordering stuff thats not a salad is really fattening and unhealthy, and we RARELY go out to eat. i don't want to confront them and sound like some baby, but i wanna be able to order what i want without being afraid!

Answer 1

I know how you feel. I dated a guy who said "ew" at everything I ordered, he was a very picky eater and I will eat practically anything.

If they ask if you're THAT hungry again, just say yep and leave it at that.

If they make another comment, politely explain that this is the kind of food you like, take a big bite, and enjoy your burger.

Answer 2

Just brush off their comments.  Who cares if you eat a hamburger, especially if you guys rarely go out to eat?  Who the heck orders salads all the time when going out to eat anyway? You can make that c**p at home for half the price!

Answer 3

Just be yourself, they are your family!!!!!

If your scared of the family then you will be scared of the world!

There is nothing wrong with eating a burger, if your family is so small minded thinking one burger will make you fat instantly then something is wrong.

Be yourself, love yourself and don't mind what other people think.

If you like burgers eat burgers, dont have to eat no human grass! lol

Answer 4

dude just order it if you want a big mac while your mom and sis are getting fruit salads get one. if there your family they should love you and not care what you!

Answer 5

Order what you think looks good on the menu, who cares what others think as long as you eat what you want to that is the important thing.

Answer 6

next time order a double cheese burger and enjoy every last greasy bit of it... then smile knowing you're enjoying something they're to afraid to enjoy themselves.

Answer 7

most women don't eat enough protein or get enough iron..  I CHEER you for eating what your body wants instead of what society wants..  

although I will say that fries, as yummy as they are with a burger, are wasted calories..  perhaps once in a while sub out the fries with the burger for veggies or a side salad..

Answer 8

You probably have a higher metabolism than they do, so let them be jealous. If they ask you if your really that hungry tell them no I just like to torcher you by eating what you can't.

Answer 12

They may be envious of your fabulous metabolism. Just tell them you need to enjoy your metabolism while you still can.  Trust me as someone who used to be able to eat what I wanted and not gain an ounce, you will miss it when its gone. So enjoy.
