I ate at a pizza buffet today

Okay, so the subject is a little deceiving.... But I had take out from the local Mazzio's. I ordered the 1/2 Italian sandwich and salad bar to go. The server asked if I wanted fries or chips and I stated none. She just looked at me curious. She then stated, oh you don't want to waste food do you? I just gave in and told her chips. I made my salad from the bar (which will last about a week) and walked out with my meal. When I got home I threw away the bread, the chips, and just nibbled on my salad and sandwich meat.  I had cravings for the ranch dressing at this place. It is absolutely the best. I probably had a TBSP tops of dressing since I dipped my lettuce in it. At least this small tub will last me a month. Their ranch dressing is the BEST!

Heh.  I'd have said, "Yes, exactly, I don't want to waste food."  ;)  

Sounds like you'll have tasty lunches!  My stomach does better now with lettuce than it did pre-op, but it's still not 100%.  Someday, I look forward to eating salads too!

Its hard people just assume everyone eats crap and looks at us like what????  You made great choice great job!!! Congrats ...o too crave a good salad every now and then and Ranch is my only dressing of choice!!!! :-)   even with buffalo wings :-)

You made a great choice, the cashier obviously thought you didn't need to count calories. Next time tell her to give it to the next customer.

I have decided that buffets are just not worth the price. You did a good job eliminating  the carbs. Good job.

I absolutely love pizza....with some ranch on it LOL. I didn't even notice the pizza bar and just head straight for making my to go salad. I'm dreading the day I get a pizza craving. Someone my have to tie me down with arm and leg restraints.

If you get a pizza craving try making it on a low carb tortilla. It is fabulous and really knocks out that craving monster.

I was at a party this weekend and the main buffet was BBQ type fare.  There was macaroni and cheese, corn bread, mashed potatoes, chicken and beef brisket.  I asked the server for a couple slices of the brisket and she asked me didn't I want to try the macaroni and cheese?  I must have looked like a freak because I had grabbed a small dessert plate and told her no, just the brisket would be fine.  She probably thought I'm one of those fatties who eats a ton of food in the privacy of my own house     I brought my famous deviled eggs (filled with bacon and green onions) so I knew they were on my go-to list.

It's very funny how food service workers react to you when you don't eat very much or are picky about what you eat.
