I used to be able to eat so much that people would ask if my legs were hollow. Now I canโ€™t even eat the portion sizes they serve at restaurants. I wish I could order a kid size.

๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜† first time I heard that: if legs are hollow.

I used to be the skinny person who eats more than anyone my friend knows. But now the same. Restaurant portions ARE just too big tbh

I once had someone recommend the book โ€œSkinny Legs and Allโ€ by Kurt Vonnegut, when I asked why she just gestured up and down my body.

Hahaha

What does that even mean?!

I was my skinniest at my full height so I was just skinny legs and all. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Also Iโ€™m glad Iโ€™m not the only one. I think how much I used to be able to eat was practically a personality trait.

This is very relatable

I order kids meals all the time.

But you are a kid, wolf ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿ˜‚

True. I get sideways looks from the servers and then I return their sideways looks with up and down looks and then sideways looks and then itโ€™s usually more awkward and we all move on.

Iโ€™ve been refused to be allowed to order a kids meal. Itโ€™s happened enough I rarely bother asking.

What if you just got an appetizer and a side or something? That could be a way to recreate the smaller portion while getting a fairly well rounded meal (depending on the place)

I do that a lot actually. I also pick restaurants with small plates, sushi is a good option, or pick a meal that can be saved for leftovers.

Really? Thatโ€™s so weird to me. Iโ€™d leave.
