    I don't understand people. I really don't. I've been through similar experiences with people that I work with. It isn't AS bad now that I've hit my goal weight and loosened up on what I eat some, but when I was very strict with myself I had a ton of issues with people. They would be "nice" and buy me a candy bar knowing full well I didn't eat candy bars. Or they would offer me cake, pop, etc knowing I didn't eat that stuff. Then when I would politely decline - they would make snide comments "One candy bar won't KILL you!" about it.

    At first, it really bothered me. But, I quickly stopped letting it get to me. If they want to fill their bodies with junk - let them. I know that *I* am doing the right thing for me and my body. To heck with them!

    BTW, on my deathbed - food probably won't be on my mind.

    He'll be dead a lot sooner than you. I would rather be around for my family for an additional 20 to 30 years! Plus, he was probably envious or jealous that he doesn't have the wilpower, strength and common sense it takes to eat well and take care of yourself!

    Without meaning to, you made him feel guilty... so he felt the need to justify his poor choices. Just be proud you are making good choices... and maybe some of that will rub of on people like that.

    Speaking of healthy habits rubbing off on people - recently a "supposed friend" criticized me because I watch my sodium along with calories & carbs and everything else. She said that NOW she couldn't enjoy her salty snacks and sweet desserts, because I harp too much about sodium, etc....??? I've NEVER harped to her or any other people about their food intake - but whatever.......
    Well..... just yesterday I heard that she joined our local fitness center to lose some weight. HMMMMM!!
    I really would like to "needle" her about my supposedly making her feel guilty enough to do something about her weight - but I'm not gonna...... I'm just glad she's doing something!!!

    I'm sorry you had to endure that mess. You made the right choice, GOOD FOR YOU!! Some people are just negative by nature and don't even realize it. I hope that you don't have to have dinner with him again any time soon. :)
