Today, I ate brunch at my in-laws. The food all tasted off to me so I didn't eat much, telling my mother-in-law I was watching my weight. Later on, while out doing a bit of shopping, I stopped at a red light. Guess who pulled up next to me while I was scarfing a fast food burger. FML

I accidentally read this as "Today, I ate a bunch of my in-laws." Didn't seem so absurd as I kept reading.

Thanks for your comments guys! This was my latest excuse for not eating much at their house (I had a big lunch, I've got a headache that's affecting my appetite, etc). His parents are sweet as can be but I'm not a fan of his mom's cooking! Everyone else enjoys it and so I don't feel bad with using white lies to avoid it, didn't want to hurt her feelings.

Everyone else enjoys it? If you mean her family, maybe it's just what they're used to? I don't enjoy my mothers cooking, but I can eat it because it's what I was raised on.

I can relate with you, I've been in this situation a few times and didn't want to hurt anyone's feeling either. It's just bad luck that she saw you lol I'm sure that if you don't act guilty she'll just think you had a diet slip :)

Did anyone get sick from it? I know whenever I've eaten food that tastes "off," I've paid dearly for it within 4 to 24 hours.

Maybe you should tell your spouse that you really don't like his/her mom's cooking and that's why you don't eat it. And eat BEFORE you go.

I had total guilty-face when I realized it was her. I was munching away chewing and listening to the radio when I looked over and she was staring me down. I gave a nervous wave and thankfully the light turned green. I'm sure I'll hear about it next time we go for a visit!

if you've had food poisoning or something similar before and something doesnt quite taste right, why would you wanna risk it again when you know you don't have to? FYL op

Most diets have a "cheat meal" or a "cheat day" to be a safety valve from binging after long-term depravation. Of course, the concept of consecutive "cheat weeks" is a failing one. Don't try that!

"and the food just ain't no good? The macaroni's soggy and the peas are mushy, and the chicken tastes like wood."
