I'm far from overweight but when I go to some restaurants where some toppings are free and some are paid... I say "all toppings that are free please"
Then I feel bad like I am some sort of cheapskate pig :(
I mean, you're literally only asking for free stuff and doing so with no shame. It shows you accept your monetary capacity with no real desire to change it, and that you'll get what you can and penny pinch the rest
This is also one of the only things the staff will be able to assess about you when you order
Now what's really going on with your actions is only known to you, but these are the actions that others can assess, and while people may be wrong the path of least resistance is what guides their thinking, which by your own admonition you can see how people will think you're a cheapskate by only asking for free things instead of things you'll enjoy
So I guess the real question here is
Are you okay with people thinking that?
If so, continue
If not, ask for things you like and want even if they are free
My own opinion, there's more honor in asking for what you want than asking for free stuff
I dunno, are you talking about pizza, baked potatoes, or ice cream sundaes? I always get mushrooms, and spinach on my pizza. I get the toppings I like, not the ones that are cheap per se.
If it's free, why feel bad?
But when it comes to the point when the dish risks becoming more topping than food or it becomes hard to eat, or the flavours no longer complement each other, that's when I stop.
Don’t behave like a cheap skate. Ask for what you want, if it happens to be the free stuff no one will care. But if you just say I only want the free stuff, people will think you are a low life cheap skate. So I guess it all depends on whether you care what people think of you.
