Are you sure you want to eat that?!!!

Does anyone else have people constantly asking them this? I get this all the time and it is really annoying me. If I want to eat a sweet or want to treat myself to a shop brought sandwich or something, they'll say, 'Oh, so you're not dieting anymore'. I keep telling people that I'm NOT on a diet and can eat whatever I want (within reason of course) as long as I'm not going over my calories but nobody seems to get it.

I suppose everyone is so used to me dieting and starving for months which is what I used to do before, that now they automatically think I shouldn't be eating 'bad food' if I'm trying to lose weight. If I buy anything that's not considered healthy, I get strange looks or comments. I often feel like I can't eat things unless I do so secretly. It's so frustrating!

Tell them to *kitten* off.

But nicely, of course. Unless you don't feel nice.

You're right - people think dieting = starvation. I had a coworker tell me that I was going to "undo all my hard work" by eating a ONE high calorie meal. I kept waiting for the instant 46lbs to show up.....lol!

Just keep doing what you're doing. The proof is in the pudding.

Simply tell them to mind their own business.

"Excuse me, I would like you to *kitten* off please. Thank you, have a great day"



I agree with the replies so far though. You do you, ignore them. I see 34lbs lost on your ticker. Obviously your method is working.

I have said that to someone before "Could you please *kitten* off? Thank you!" All while smiling.

I usually just say "Yes, I want to eat that"...heck today for lunch ate a whole Chipotle Burrito Bowl...it fit in my calories and I have no regrets...
