I'm allergic to....
today is a holy day. I am fasting
I'm having surgery and can't eat or can only drink liquids or can only eat....
my nutrisionest said I shouldn't ever eat that
say you have an ulcer, because when you have an ulcer then you have to really watch what you eat.
I say that I ate at the last place I was,
I'll eat en route to my next destination.
Fall asleep and then say, "i just woke up, i don't really feel hungry...maybe later"
say your eating over a friends house and just go out for a walk
eat lunch later in the day like when you come home from school or work
eat earlier in the day before school or work (depending on time, of course.
not coming home until after meal times and then tell people that you ate elsewhere on campus
go to the library, band room and practice, anywhere in the building no food is allowed
go to the city library (school or college library) also works
I had a huge breakfast this morning. I think I might buy a candy bar for later though. (Then throw the candy bar away, or give to...)
"I'm going on this fast thingy for God or for a family member or it's my religion..."
I just ate
I can't I am going out to eat with ______
I don't feel well
My stomache hurts
I'm allegric to dairy etc...
You don't like the food they are eating
If you are a restraunt, say you heard bad things about how they prepare food ex: someone found a roach in their fried rice.
Your not hungry (and they should get off my case.. I mean we're a grown girls! I eat when I want to.. not because they feel that I should.. )
cramps (works great for nosey dad's they dont want to know anything about cramps)
this month in the catholic church there is a fast for pro-lifers. I was considering doing it for both reasons.
diarreha- not very glamorous but works
sore throat
start eating kosher- i know it's really hard to find that stuff
sabotage your dinner- knock it over, spill too much salt, do whatever and very carefully and slowly serve yurself after you've cleaned up
get a friend to call you during mealtime and say you'll finish eating later
say you just watched a special on the FDA food standards like how many rat hairs are allowed in peanut butter.
get a teeth bleaching kit an put it right before you expect someone to ask you to eat
pretend that you are sick, and are on one of those "elimination diets" (this is where the doctor instructs you to eliminate certain foods systematically from your diet to determine if your symptoms are resulting from a food) allergy/sensitivity. you can draw this one out for a long time, because you can imagine how long it would take to pinpoint something like that. also, easy to imagine how it could have to be repeated, many times, if the results were inconclusive (which they always are, for some reason )
make up something creative, that no one can argue with. like "oh, my doctor has me on the BRAT diet. i can only eat bread, rice, apples and toast." this one actually does exist - for ulcer patients and the like - but you can make up anything and people will buy it. as long as it sounds official.
"Im _fill in the blank_ and have to be very picky. I dont like to eat anything that I dont prepare myself."
Fill in the blank with:
only eat organic foods, kosher, veggie, vegan, not allowed dairy, allergic to certain herbs etc..
"There are nearly 10 lbs of toxins in your body right now -Do you know how gross that is?? Im trying to fast to detoxify and be healthy" -that works best if youre talking to someone who doesnt know that youre ana. And its all true it worked best with people who dont have a clue about you.
"oh, man, I had this HUGE breakfast, I can't believe I ate all those doughnuts.. I meant to save some for tonight... I don't think I'm gonna eat lunch..."
"my mom is coming into town to take me to a buffet restaraunt, and I know I'm gonna inhale 5 or 6 plates, so I'm gonna skip lunch to sorta excuse my pigout tonight"
say I have a funny eating schedule and that I always eat late -- I say I have like two meals after I get home. People think it's wierd but after a while they stop asking you about it. I just say I've been like that since I was in highschool.
just say, I'm anorexic. I don't eat that. Hahaha, people get scared and don't know what to say, and that is that! Hehe, don't do it too often though! no matter what excuse you give people, if you are already underweight, most people will know that you are bullshiting them.
Toothache is a good one. Esp. if someone is waving candy under your nose...tell 'em that the sugar makes your teeth hurt.
No thank you
"I don't like____"
"Hey, can you see me?? Obviously I have a hate relationship with food, now get off my damn back!". People either say you need help or laugh. Or use the "eating is against my religion" one, too, they always laugh and leave you alone.
