You catch yourself saying, "Don't you hate it when you waste all your carbs on veggies and have none left over for dark chocolate?"

@FIT_Goat with all the good food hacks!
LOL, when you eat like I do, you tend to grow some thick skin. I've gotten very comfortable with being told, "No, we can't do that." Actually, it's the worst thing that happens. I've also gotten very patient and comfortable explaining exactly what I would like. I also avoid places when they're really busy. They are more likely to listen to you and try to work with you, when they aren't trying to get to the 50 people waiting behind you. They are also much more likely to not screw it up.
Sometimes, you just have to ask.7 -
With food intolerances I am so used to asking for substitutions but asking for more meat has not occurred to me before now.
Having colleagues looking strangely at your lunch which consists of a hard boiled egg with salt, meat wrapped in salad leaves and a pickle on the side.5 -
When you go to Wendy's and get to eat the double Baconator w/o bun or ketchup and ask for extra mayo on it, oh yeah, and add double blue cheese to my green salad, thanks.
Secretly laughing at the glances from the other tables, bwahahaha

This could be short for, "Go lean over the porcelain altar (and rid yourself of that sugar bomb)."11 -

I maintained my weight loss for quite a few years using Kashi products when I was younger and much skinnier. I think the key to success was the fact that Kashi drove me to intermittent fasting because half the time I chose not to eat over choking down dried twigs for breakfast. 19 -
When you eat uncured pepperoni 'chips' the same way you used to eat potato or tortilla chips but without the guilt!12

But...that's not so odd? Unless you make the whole thing with cream...
(which sounds pretty darn awesome tbh)
I do that, in fact, but for breakfast. 100 g hwc with protein powder: awesome dessert.1 -

My older brother and I used to fight over who got to drink the pickle juice when we were kids. My mom always thought we were weird. We also used to fight over who got to lick the spoon used to put the mustard from the glass jar into the tupperware squeeze bottle. I think you have to be at least in your 40's to remember when mustard was only sold in glass jars.9 -

When you no longer feel the need to justify and explain every choice you make about what you eat. I've become much less talkative about how I eat with others. Just got so sick of the same old conversations over and over!12

When your answer to "how can you stay so thin eating like that" is "by eating like this!" I am not terribly thin (179 lbs at 6'1") but within 4 lbs of my goal weight and thinner than the average 46 yo guy with a desk job.12

When you eat bacon instead of popcorn at the movies
When you suddenly develop the ability to "eyeball" the number of ounces of meat you're prepping and make a game out of it with your digital scale....and reward yourself with bacon...
When your digital scale batteries are low and you go to THREE stores to find the right batteries b/c you have to be able to weigh your food tomorrow
When your weekly food budget is low so you come up with 8 different ways to make crustless quiche
Using pork rinds in place of bread crumbs in meatballs
