It’s the holidays, at my job I will be attending at a minimum 3 holiday meals on different days. They send around these little slips and we all vote on what to have.

There’s never anything available that I’ll actually be able to eat.

My diet, while not strictly keto, is at my doctor’s recommendation. I’ve successfully eliminated any danger I faced due to rising blood sugar, and the jury is still out on carbs re-entering my diet in any significant capacity.

I am fully aware of how difficult it can be to prepare food without carbs. Especially to someone who’s never done it.

At every opportunity I make it clear that I am perfectly happy, and I’m fact would prefer to simply feed myself. I get that they’re trying to show appreciation, but I would appreciate knowing exactly what’s in my food, rather than having to trust that everyone in the chain of people involved getting me a low carb meal knew exactly what that meant.

I like my meals, I like how healthy I have become. I honestly have never really enjoyed the food they get anyway. Just let me do my thing goddamnit
