    Default How often do you go out to eat? How often do you like to?

    When I'm dancing and making good money I go out to eat a lot. At least 1 meal a day. I love it. I live by myself and it's so hard to grocery shop for 1 person if you don't want to eat the same thing every day. I try to be careful with my spending though and hit up lunch specials/nightly specials and only get 1 drink while I'm out. I go by myself almost every time. I try to get stuff that you couldn't easily make at home either to make it more worth spending the money (sushi etc)

    Way too much, though I'm proud of how much I've actually cut down. Everything out there just sounds so much more appealing than anything I could make lol I enjoy cooking once I get into it, and I'm usually proud of what I manage to make, but shit, I don't wanna do that every day. If I had other people to cook for, that would be different, but I don't. And having leftovers has the same problem that I run into when I try to cook batch meals so I don't have to cook every day - boredom with the same thing over and over, or too-similar dishes because you have to use up all the ingredients once you buy them for one thing.

    I've been doing better about it since I started seriously tracking my calories to lose weight, but I still give in way too often.
    Don't try to win over the haters. You are not the Jerk Whisperer.

    Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

    Probably once per day. I could probably literally make a house payment for what our family ways out. Sickening really...but I guess it keeps someone else employed.

    OP you use my exact philosophy. I look for good food at good prices and eat at 10-12 places where they know me every two weeks. I get great service, and I always have good leftovers. I'm a great cook, so I could do it all but who has time?

    Exactly once a week, for our "treat night" on Saturday evenings.

    I'm a money hoarder, so any more than twice a week would make me uncomfortable.

    I typically wind up hitting the beach-side bars and restaurants about 2-3 nights a week. Far less during the rainy season, and far more during particular weeks when lots of 'rich' single tourists are in town !!!

    I actually can cook pretty well but since Ive moved to San Diego I go out to eat way too much. Its like a big foodie place here and so many different restaurants to try, so at least 2 nights every week, which isnt good when trying to lose weight

    I get lunch purchased for me 5-6 days a week. Whether it is with a customer at the club or a salesperson trying to get me to buy their product as a Realtor, I almost never have to buy my own lunch. I will go out to dinner with my S.O. a couple times a week.

    When I was traveling a lot as a dancer I learned how to ask for healthy options at restaurants, so I still eat very healthy while dining out. Eating out is not a "treat" for me, so I don't over indulge on junk food when going to restaurants.
