Eating dressed!

[Lana Mae]

Ever notice how you eat when dressed? I noted today when I was eating McDonald's french fries, I was eating them one at a time and most taking 3 bites per fry! Male eats 5-6 at a time! I did this without thinking about it! How about you? Hugs Lana Mae

[Tracy Irving]

Dang, I eat like a pig in a dress. Gonna need to modify my habits!

[Tracii G]

You are so dainty Lana Mae. LOLOLOL

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Lana Mae :hugs:, That is very interesting,

I sure hope that you get more than just a half hour for lunch.

I’m more of a small bite salad girl when dressed. Much more and the corset starts to become an issue...

[alwayshave]

Lana Mae, I eat differently when dressed, smaller bites for sure. May even modify what I eat. And then there is drinking wine rather than beer.

[Jenn A116]

I find having boobs causes me a big adjustment when eating. I wind up leaning forward a bit more which then brings my boobs in contact with the table. So I back off and inevitably drop some food on me. Sigh...

[RADER]

I have noticed that I do eat less when dressed. And since I have been trying to lose a few pounds,
I am trying to dress more at home than before.
I hope it works.

[Rayleen]

Lana Mae, I have not notice any difference, when I eat Fries, I eat one at a time, and usually take a bite or two.
Never look at anybody else when I eat.

Rayleen.

[Lana Mae]

Tracy: I usually do too! Today was different for whatever reason!
Tracii: Yes aren't I! LOL
Orchid: I am male at work so I can shovel it down if I want! LOL
Katrina: I stopped wearing the corset and settled on being a plus size girl! I eat salads from time to time though!
Jamie: I stopped drinking alcohol but if I did it would be wine! I used to drink everything but poured my last can of beer down the drain and quit right there!
Jenna: My wife had that problem! She was short and had big boobs! She used to wear white tops when she got spaghetti and always wore some of the sauce!
Rader: Good luck with that!
Rayleen: I do not watch others eat, I just noticed this today when dressed!
Thanks ladies for your responses!
Hugs Lana Mae

[Judy-Somthing]

LOL,

I ate a few times while dressed and it tasted like lip-stick.

[KatrinaK]

Judy, that problem can be easily solved with a quality, long lasting, liquid lipstick... or you could avoid rubbing the food on your lips on the way in ;)

[Yukihime]

Problems I always encountered eating while dressed:


Hair getting in my face
Trying to eat in smaller bites and sometimes forgetting
Overdrinking and needing the toilet immediately after
Corset reducing the amount I can eat
Making sure I don't spill my food on my dress


I always consider overdrinking to be the worse problem of all these. Takes so long to get in and out of my dress...

[Beverley Sims]

I am certainly a more dainty eater when dressed, mostly to do with being tidy and not making a mess, polished nails and makeup call for a lot of attention and the nice dress we don't want to soil.

[Roxanne Lanyon]

Oh my! I eat smaller bites, when en femme. I concentrate on being tidy, as well. Honey, wearing a skirt is a glorious weight loss program! I love it so much!

Smaller bites! if only I could match that, I used to call my ex a vacuum cleaner, she was just 5' 2" and could put food away quicker than I ever I did but this thread gives much to think about for the future and also goes to show what we actually see and not always in detail so to quote a saying "Food for thought".
Next time I am out I will have to study GG's closer.

[Melanie Moxon]

I find I have to take smaller bites of things anyway, helps avoid getting hair in ones food :heehee:

[Jeri Ann]

Hey Lana,

On the rare occasion that I allow myself a burger and fries I will go to a Texas chain called "Whataburger". The first one opened in Corpus Christi the year I was born. http://whataburger.com/company

There are 824 locations now in ten southern states but, unfortunately, not in NC.

There is no dainty way to eat a Whataburger. I always get mine with extra jalapenos. The fries? Two or three at a time because you can scoop more cream gravy that way. I do switch to one fry when the gravy gets low.

Ribs, shrimp, crawfish, corn on the cobb, same way. When this big-o-gal straps the feed bag on, stand back.

Now, at a nice restaurant, dressed up, I am a different girl. Small bites, trying not to make a mess, eating slowly, enjoying conversation, this is a different experience. This was the case at the GNO last night. I sipped my soup, carefully ate my salad. Well, I did swab the bowl to get the combination of garlic bread and dressing. My entree I barely touched so that I could take it home and get desert. At Rivas Italian they have "Spumoni!" I was the only one at a table of eight that ordered desert. When I got after that ice cream I probably became the entertainment, I dunno. I was too busy eating.

Lana,
Maybe I try to be more careful smaller mouthfulls means you're taking less lipstick off !

Shame on you Lana , now you're heading more to transition you should be thinking more about your figure , OK so the rest of your plate was all salad .

Jeri Ann,
I had to smile at your comments on sea food , sometimes it does fight back , I was having crab and the claws were so full of juices when I broke them open everyone had a helping , luckily I was in drab so I wan't too concerned about the ruined shirt .

[Lana Mae]

Judy: Never tasted lipstick with a meal but have had hair in the way!
Karina: I must clear the lipstick and get it in my mouth! I just use regular lipstick!
Yukihime: First and last are me!
Beverly: You are so right! LOL
Roxanne: I agree!
Bobbi: I know not all females are all that delicate and have seen a few cramming it down! LOL
Melissa: Don't you hate that when your hair gets in your food!
Jeri Ann: Sounds great to me! Some girls can really cram it down! So it is not just the males! Ah, ha!
Teresa: There are all kinds of shapes of the female form! I am plus size and accept that!
Thanks ladies for your comments!
Hugs Lana Mae

[GracieRose]

I have always eaten more slowly than most others.
However, when dressed, I sit up straighter.
Rather than leaning over my plate, I find that I need to lift things more carefully to my mouth to keep from dropping food on myself. This probably slows eating down a little more.

[freeindress]

Probably the only change is I'm avoiding any sauce or wine spill stain on my dress/skirt/top.

[BrendaPDX]

I really haven't noticed, but I also usually wear a corset when dressed, that makes a difference. I have noticed that I tend to leave lipstick on glasses and cups, that bothers me a little. Katrina has a point I might try "a quality, long lasting, liquid lipstick" too. French fries would be fun, but I would be terrified about going through a drive through; I have a male voice. Fun question, thanks for bringing it up.

[bridget thronton]

I always eat my fries one at a time - I am always more conscious of not getting food on my clothing when wearing a dress

[Krea]

I don't eat much differently, apart from being even more careful about not spilling food, because they are my nicest clothes.

[docrobbysherry]

My main issue while eating dressed is how often I end up chewing on my wig!:Angry3:

[Lana Mae]

Gracie: In male mode, I am usually the first done! I was eating in my car which made it a little tricky!
Freeinadress: Yes, that too!
Brenda: I used my "Lana Mae" voice! I used it at my counseling session and she thought it was pretty good! It seemed to work OK!
Bridget: I eat three or four of McDonald's fries at one time in male mode! I was wearing a jean skirt and did not want to get anything on it!
Krea: Yes, no food on the nice clothes! They are my only clothes-just about!
Doc/Sherry: That is Lana Mae with her long blonde wig!! The gray wig is shorter and not so much with it and it was what I was wearing! I need to save up and buy one somewhere in the middle of these two!
Thanks ladies for your replies!
Hugs Lana Mae

[Bobbi46]

Lana Mae, there is something to be said about being plus size, when I was very little one of my aunts had a mountainous bosom she was the matriach of the family and when she came to tea she would her cup and saucer on one breast and her plate of sandwitches and cakes on the other one! she never spilled anything or dropped a crumb!! plus she ate slowly!

[Asew]

For me it mostly being more careful with the food so it doesn't get my clothes dirty (and even avoid certain messy foods). Basically treat them as my Sunday's best :)

[t-girlxsophie]

Only difference in my eating,drinking when dressed is finger pointing out when drinking a nice cup Of tea lol

Sophie

[Becky Blue]

Definitely smaller bites, I also tend to eat slower as nails make cutlery even more of a challenge than usual.. oh and regular mouthfuls of hair...
I have to say I always get a huge kick out of seeing my lippy marks on my wine glass :)

[Helena]

Wig hair in mouth is biggest pain. Try to sit straighter and take smaller bites trying not to drop anything on clothes.
