My trip to Boise in May was punctuated by an unusual comment. The folks I was traveling with decided to stop at (I kid you not...) The Garden of Eden Truck stop off the Twin Falls exit. There was a Blimpies there so we got sandwiches. I ate about 6 inches of an 8 inch sub, ate half the bag of chips, drank the Diet Coke and was ready to go.
One of the ladies we were with (who runs 1/2 marathons, and might have a waist bigger in diameter than mine) looked at me and said, "You eat like a bird." I'm not sure it was a compliment. But I guess it's better than being told I have a hollow leg.

i am not sure what she would mean by that except that you didn't eat all your food. maybe she is one of those people that was raised to believe we all need to be members of the clean plate club. that is a club i don't wish to belong to anymore because it does end up making me overeat. so i think even if she didn't mean it in a nice way, it sounds like you know what is best for you, not her. some peole just dont' know when to keep their mouth quiet.
