Me: I don't eat meat. Them: What, not even a hamburger?
Or (my favorite recently):
Me: I don't eat meat. Colleague: I'm taking the team out to Buffalo Wild Wings and you have to come.

DON'T GET THE VEGGIE BURGER!! I'm a meat-eater who likes a good veggie burger from time to time, so I made that mistake. It was so bad I couldn't even get halfway through it.
I like veggie burgers.. but I'm a meat eater.. Is it as good as burger.. no! Is it acceptable and still pretty good.. overcooked they are hideous!!!2 -

Depends on the Veggie burger. I have had some that were tasty and I am a meat eater.0 -

I'm both. xD I'll bake like crazy, have one, and then bring the rest in and leave it in the work kitchen.3 -

Right, as have I. See above. I'm speaking about the one specifically at that restaurant.
Oh yeah definitely, B-Dubs is bad all around, their wings are way over rated.0 -
I have a friend who is lactose intolerant and her parents are dairy farmers. To this day they refuse to believe it and she cannot eat at her parents house because her mom will put dairy in the food and tell her she didn't, and she will be sick all night. Good thing it isn't a peanut allergy.2

Wow, that is terrible. Poor friend.0 -
Me: Staying away from the sweets right now
Them: It's just a slice of cake

Me: I'll pass on the cake
Them: Yeah, we figured you would
After four years +, most of the people around me know how I roll...2 -
Haha, reminds me of my ex mother in law. She wanted to cook dinner for my side of the fam and when she was told my sis is a vegetarian she thought making a fish dish was the right thing bless her heart.1

Them: Hey, we're getting McDs for breakfast, what do you want?
Me: Just a large black coffee. It's my fast day.
Them: (Upon returning) Here, I got you an Egg McMuffin. I figured you'd be hungry since you're fasting.
Me:

Love this
Me: I finally reached 10 miles on a hike!
Them: You're too obsessed with working out!1 -
Husband's Grandma: Can I make you something to eat?
Us: We're vegetarian, Grandma.
Husband's Grandma: Well, how about a hot dog then?
(Fair enough--it really isn't meat...)6 -
Me: No thanks, it's my workout night.
Them: Ok Arnold.4 -
In my experience, it's sometimes easier to pass on the first one than to stop at one. But plan your day around tasty meal and tell yourself that you have to save calories for it...2
-
Mom: Can I fix you something to eat?
Me: No thanks, I'm good.
Mom: I have a warm apple pie with ice cream for you.
Me: Okay!
lol......only go to Mom's house when I have extra calories....lol..

I have the same problem!! I've been vegetarian for about 10 years and with my boyfriend for 5. His family are all huge meat eaters and even after 5 years, my diet is still the main topic of discussion. It makes me still feel like an outsider and that I can't fit in. I always have to bring my own food to meals because literally everything has meat. Then I get the looks like they think I think I'm better than them when I'm really just trying to have a family dinner. So frustrating!

People love to do this, see if they can sabotage you. I'll tell them "okay, bake what ever you want, but be advised up front I am not eating it." If that ticks them off, too bad.2

Me: I'm not going to snack today!
Department upstairs: We have cookie bars for everyone!
Other Department: We have breakfast tacos for everyone!
Coworker: I brought in cinnamon rolls!
All three have happened in the past two days. why3 -
Yeah. I'm not even full-on vegetarian (I drink milk and eat cheese and eggs and everything!), and it still causes issues at work and for my dad's family. "I don't eat meat" has become like a mantra. Someday, they will get it. If they never do, well...I tried, and nothing in this world will get me to consume red meat again. (It makes me physically sick.)0

Me: I'm watching what I eat
Wife: I made mini banana muffins
Me: Watch to see how many I can fit in my mouth14 -
Well-meaning loved ones: We heard you're not feeling well. Here's a nice box of chocolates to cheer you up.
Me: Umm, I'm diabetic. Thanks just the same!
Loved ones: Oh. Okay. Sorry!
Story. Of. My. LIFE!2 -
Or
Me: I'm baking brownies.
Them: I'm on a diet.
Me: Good, more for me!3 -
Food pushers can be relentless! I usually say I am eating certain things for health reasons. That usually does the trick. If not I have no problem walking away.

Me: No thanks, I'd rather spend my calories on (insert something yummy here)
Them: oh, you're still on your diet?
Me: Nope, the rest of my life is not a diet. Thanks anyway..

Dying. I'm so sorry, and yet dying laughing. I can completely envision the conversation.

Them: why are you reading the packet? Do you have an allergy?
Me: no, I'm checking the calories.
Them: but you're not fat.
Me: that's why
