    However, I will say that yesterday I went to a meeting with a vendor and we went to Paradise Bakery. She ordered her food. I then ordered my food and she asked if she could change her order and be healthier like me! And ya know what? I think she actually did pretty well!!!

    And...at least my husband has been inspired by my fitness goals. We're now on here together!

    I would just like to say that it's really, really encouraging that you found a way to be healthier while eating out from Paradise bakery. :] I'm not going to be scared to stop there on my 'cheat' day (when I go to the mall once a month to pay bills) from now on! Yay something to look forward to!

    I like raw green pepper slices as a snack. My coworkers thought I was weird. They don't think it is gross, just find it funny. I did this way before MFP so I guess for a fat unhealthy eater it seem out of norm.
    I have quite a few healthy eaters at work so no one really comments on other people foods except to ask about recipes, suggestions or plain curiosity about the item. Many an item has been brought to the "common food area" to share no matter what it is, there is always someone else who likes it or at least tries it.

    Water with lemon!! I teach Cosmetology to high school students. Everyday I have a cup with ice water and lemon slices in it. My students are always so amazed with what I'm drinking. I've had several of them come up to me and say,"Mrs. Whitaker, what is that? Your drinks always look so good!" When I tell them it's just water and lemon that look at me kind of weird! I think it's funny.

    Garbanzo bean chocolate brownies! They don't say anything when I eat them, its when they see me baking them and see the can of beans on the counter! LOL I love to make these for company and then watch their faces. (Evil, I know.) LOL

    I have to say I've never been more surprised by a thread of posts before. Raw sugar snap peas, apples with peanut butter, raw tomatoes with salt, water with lemon (really?? doesn't everyone drink that in restaurants?). These are things everyone I know eats. I mean it's things that kids grow up on where I live. So odd to see these listed as as "weird".

    Lol your coworkers are the weird ones. I love egg whites. I get that reaction from giant bags of plain romaine in a bag, or raw stalks of broccoli/cauliflower I devour for lunch or a snack

    I don't really see them as weird either, but it always surprises me. A lot of people find peanut butter on pancakes weird, and I was 25 before I realized this wasn't the only way to eat them! But I do think I'm going to go eat a tomato now...
