Ok i guess the ones who are saying who cares are right ...something in me heard this instaed " YOUR FAT!! YOUR ALWAYS ON A DIET ! ... Binging is so much easier then saying how you feel on here sometimes. :indifferent:

Let them think whatever they want, who cares... you know what you are doing is the best for your body and your life!

THIS exactly.

Listen to the voices in your head less.

Good for you! Too bad for him.

Oh people say things sometimes that rub you up the wrong way, it's just life! Maybe you're projecting what you think about yourself onto what he said. It didn't seem *that* bad to me!

By looking at your "ticker" you've lost 40 lbs. Keep that up and someday you won't be the fat girl in the office anymore!

^^^ what this guy said.

You're friend sounds like one of those idiots you should ignore.
He sounds like all talk, no action.

justmyalias

He just doesn't get the philosophy of what you're doing, which is making permanent lifestyle changes. That's his problem!

^^ this

consider yourself better educated
and disregard his ignorance

I'm sorry you're upset about the conversation. He may see that eating healthy is a diet (like most people) and not a lifestyle change.

postrockandcats

Sounds like he was projecting his crap on to you!

That said, to some people healthy foods will always be a "diet." Even before I tried loosing, if I had a salad or something that was considered good for me, I'd get the "oh, are you trying to loose weight?" crap. Is it really so far off base that maybe, just maybe, people eat healthy things because they LIKE them??

TL;DR- I'm sure his words to you, no matter how rude or hurtful, had very little to do with you. Keep "dieting" (please note the quotes) and don't worry about him

It is rather annoying when you can't try to eat healthy without someone saying the "d" word. I blame American culture.

They do not care for you and yours...

You shouldn't get upset that people use the word "diet" differently. No biggie. Just do what you're doin.

Well, I mean there are a lot of ways to look at this but I'll just tell you the way I would look at it from my point of view.... It sounds like you are projecting your insecurities and how you feel about the choices you make on to the things he said about the choices you make... People who are insecure about their bodies are oftentimes more aware of the things they do in public, you know, like when you are eating something you assume that everyone is staring at you because fat people eat a lot - even if it's healthy stuff. The guy probably didn't mean much of anything by it, really, he probably was hoping you would commiserate, in other words he thought you would probably say things similar about losing your steam and how frustrating it is to get back on track.... But when he didn't hear what he expected, he was like, "wait, but you are always thinking about fitness, so you are on a diet always, so you should understand how I feel"

People are silly. I have a family friend who is about 51, a lawyer, tiny all around. Anytime I meet her for lunch or dinner (per her suggestion) and I order a salad or take my time ordering things on the side or without a sauce. She looks at me wide-eyed and asks me if I'm on a diet? Wait, so I can't have a salad without you thinking I'm on a diet? Lol I eat veggies too silly woman. At first it bothered me but now I just say nope, I just like salad. Let it slide.

So i was at my desk at work and... No let me start by saying ... ok i cant explain it right without getting the wrong response, not that im looking for a "certain" response. Fine ill just say it like it happened........... ... So the fat girl in the office is always on a diet!? Whatever i hate people!!

Haha. You're funny...at least, I'm pretty sure you were just being intentionally dramatic for comedic purposes?? And if not, I second what most everybody else is saying about how we are all on a diet because we all consume food.

tomdVT

You are spot-on IMHO, I know a whole group of medical people in rehab gyms who would agree and would tell you the same; in fact I've heard them scold people for calling what they are doing "a diet" and implored them to think of it as a life style change and specifically NOT a diet.

themommie

Hey you've lost 40 lbs has he? So whatever you are doing it is working, let him call it what he wants. Before long you will be the healthy HOT girl in the office. Keep up the good work and try not to let others comments get to you
