    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.

    I get that reaction from a lot of people when I grab a bowl of tomatos and a little (And I mean a little) Italian Dressing .w.;

    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...

    I love the little grape tomatoes. I buy the big box at Costco every week and eat them all week long. I eat them plain most of the time. No salt, no nuthin'. I have a garden, but it has been such a dry year that I haven't gotten too much that has ripened. We just got rain yesterday for the first time in 4 months, so I'm hoping that will change.

    I also eat raw cucumbers with nothing. Peel some of the skin, slice and eat. One of my summer faves. I just ate my first one from the garden today at lunch. Today I put on a tiny bit of dressing for a change- so good.

    I love the sugar snap peas raw too. They are hard for me to find.

    I don't think most of these foods are weird, but I think that a large percentage of people eat crappy. So it makes us look like the weird ones.

    Peanut butter on pancakes IS the only way to eat them. I can barely gag them down without it. I worked at a hospital for a few years and I had a pancake- fresh made every day. I always asked for a little container of PB- everyday. The pancake lady made sure she kept some around for me.

    I don't even have to eat anything weird to get comments at work. Any time I'm making, say, a turkey sandwich, or a tuna sandwich, I get the weirdest comments like "you're always making these elaborate lunches". Really? Put 2 slices of bread in the toaster, drop on some turkey and mustard, maybe some romaine, and that counts as elaborate these days? One time I happened to have a can of tuna from whole foods and I got some comment like, "looks like somebody's making the big bucks". The person who said it drives a flashy Mercedes and probably goes out to lunch every day. Even the cheapest fast food costs more than a can of tuna.

    I eat pb on pancakes and waffles too. But I will say that most ppl I know think that's weird, Even if they try it and like it they still think it's weird. Without it, the syrup is just too sweet.

    Yesterday at work I had some hummus I'd left in the fridge a couple of days ago. I'd meant to bring some crackers or raw veggies to eat with it but forgot. I really wanted the hummus so I decided to eat it plain and grab an apple from the kitchen (we get free fruit at work as part of a Wellness project :happy:). For some reason I decided to dip the apple in the hummus. I have to admit I thought it was weird but OMG it was delicious. I think this is my new favorite way to eat hummus.
