I’m not going that far, but I’ll say this. While I’m not overweight by most everyone’s standards, I have lost some gut eating at home every night. It’s not a washboard yet, as that would take some hardcore training and shite, but I’m back to my sexy self, that’s for sure. I’d do me.

I like the atmosphere more than anything else. That's what I miss more than anything else. It's healthy to get out and see new faces.

Its kinda funny. I go out for food probably more than average. Probably 50-50 cooking at home vs. going out. I've only taken out two times in the past month, both still back in March. My friend who also dines out/gets takeout normally is the same way - just cooking and cooking.

My parents who only go out a couple times a month have been getting takeout twice a week during this. Like we flip flopped.

We’ve stayed the same. 1-2 times a week. Mainly to support our favorite spots tbh

I've been getting takeout margs 1-2x a week, but that's the same as usual. And the marg drive-thru is in my grocery store parking lot. So I don't count that.

My weight is about the same. Been doing a daily 2.5 mile walk to make up for not moving at all otherwise, but the evening happy hours are canceling that out.

We are going to get to go cocktails from our closest version of Olive or Twist tomorrow. I pace when I do conference calls as exercise.

We are eating out about the same, trying to support the economy as much as we can.

I've been taking the money we were spending on restaurants and buying silver bullion with it.

I will use it to help fund my IRA this year.

It's so bad here, even the lesbians aren't eating out anymore.

We usually do grocery pickup which we still have to schedule 3-4 days in advance and they are still out of a number of items.

I find getting takeout to be far less of a pain in the arse right now plus a different restaurant daily is taking big group orders from our neighborhood and delivering it.

That sounds pretty good actually. I may get some meats for the smoker for next week since I'm home all day anyway.

We have been ordering a ton of takeout but it's not the same. I want to sit down for a nice meal.

For sure. I’m a single dude so often I’d meet friends and whatnot for drinks that turned into dinner. Now I’ll just scoop something and bring it home. Cooking for one is a massive pain in the arse with leftovers and shite
