Food Police-Boldest Thing Said To You????

Inshape13

I was sitting at a restaurant yesterday and mentioned to a relative's girlfriend that I ate too many chips.....I take a bite of chicken after that and she turns to me and loudly states- "Stop eating that, what are you doing! Get her a box so that she won't eat anymore!"

Note to self, do not mention to myself out loud that I ate too many chips. And, she is the one that keeps getting pissed that people repeatedly ask when she is due even though she has never been pregnant so maybe I should return the screaming favor to her.

My sister will always try to 'help me order my food' with coments like O so your having the pork hmm interesting what do you think of the salad?

apart from that nothing really since high school with the old, "do they have any food left" 16 year olds can be so witty

Nothing too major although I did ask my hubby about when he was quitting smoking, and he said when I start my diet.....it was only a joke but could be seriously misconstrued .... btw...been on this diet for a month..hes still puffin' away LOL!!

In the beginning my BF did a bit of that. I pointedly told him that either I had planned for the food or I had not, in which case neither was his business at all. He eventually got the point.

I was out to eat, I ordered a salad, french fries, and veggie burger (am a vegetarian). Waiter comes with my food, I eat most of it then order a 2person dessert, and he goes "Wow, haven't you had enough?"

I proceeded to point to my 8mo pregnant belly and say "the dinner was for me, the dessert is for him".
I was insatiable from 6mo-8 1/2 (when i had him) and even after, breastfeeding makes me SO hungry.

Some people are just incredibly rude! And they work in public service :noway:

There went his tip.

Not exactly "food policing" but I was in a group setting where we had to introduce ourselves with some interesting fact and I couldn't think of anything. Someone suggested I say my favorite food to which the group facilitator and self identified fat-phobic said, "I bet it's not cottage cheese." :indifferent:

every time I have anything remotely sweet or alcoholic my mom tells me.. "you are going to gain it all back, you cant stay thin eating like that".. BTW she is morbidly obese

I really don't get anything like that. I generally just get little comments because I'm a strict vegetarian. These may or may not be purposefully rude... Never entirely sure.

Honestly, I hope you told his manager. Someone needs a little mind filter help.

I ate ONE hershey kiss in front of a coworker who stared at me and said, "You can't have that. Aren't you on a diet?"

I was shocked for a second then responded, "No, I'm just trying to eat healhier" grabbed a second hershey kiss and walked away.

I would ask to speak to his manager, and he sure as hell wouldn't be getting a tip!

This post reminded me of Fat Fighters on Little Britain!

I often get, "I can't believe you eat all that." or "How do you eat that much?" I'm on a 2000 cal diet to maintain. THen I pleasantly tell them to pick up heavy things and they can eat a lot too lol

Mine is kind of the opposite. Before I started hormones for infertility I was always stick thin. I never enjoyed it, it was just how I was. People were always very blatantly, insulting the amount of food I would eat. One time, at a buffet, two women got behind me and were like, we'll get what she gets, no one is gonna say she eats too much. Or something to that effect.

LOL I though you were gonna get a salad hmmmmma after I ordered the fishermans platter

You should never eat after 7pm if you want to lose weight...thanks for the unsolicitated advice Mr. Coworker who has at least 30 lbs of extra weight.

I hear from people that I eat too much. I politely point out that I have lost close to 100 pounds eating this much and maybe they should try eating more. Usually shuts them right up!!

My fiance will see me reaching for an extra not-so-healthy snack, like some cookies, and he'll say, "Are you sure you want that?"

My response is typically, "Yes, I'm sure, but thanks for asking!"

Occasionally I will agree with him and put it back and am thankful that he asks me. Sometimes it's a little annoying though.

Related to this, it almost sounds like she's trying to shame you because you've succeeded, judging on your ticker that says you've almost lost 100lbs. (Congrats, btw c: )

Well, let's see... I believe I was called a cultist earlier. (Which is funny. I actually prefer the investigator class because I really like being able to look at the next card before I kick down the door. If you got that, please send me an FR.)

one time i posted on the forums asking what was a new breakfast cereal to try and some girl said "you eat like cattle, you're fat like cattle" but it was also the forums so i guess i was asking for it. i just can't stand "holier than thou" attitudes about certain types of diets

I had a former MFP friend argue with me about my post workout shakes because they were't "properly" balanced among fats, proteins and carbs. I responded "whatever" and he wouldn't let it go. Clueless former friend. Like the rest of my day isn't as, if not more, important, and besides, I've never met a guy that cared so much about what another guy ate.

I have gotten to love when my husband does this now. He can't stand when I return that favor.

Its mostly just been the family, they mean well, but they do it in a kind of douchy way sometimes. Like when I got bagels for a change of pace, it'll just be morning and my mom will be like "Oh no, you should just eat half of it... the carbs blah blah blah". I miss having my own place Everybody else has been pretty cool about it, but then I never go crazy when I eat out, I was just snacking a lot at home.

Its not like she decided you ate too much, you said you had. Do I agree with what she did, no, but I certainly wouldn't call it being the "food Police". To me, what you are saying is far worse than her asking for a take out box for you after you said you ate too much.
