How about you shut up about what I am eating!

I am all for people looking at my diary and telling me where I am doing good and where I am doing bad. I appreciate that feedback and the more detailed the better.
However I do not appreciate when someone makes comments about what I am eating and they are eating crap!
For example:
I am cutting up pineapple and I hear ... I thought you didn't like pineapple. Which is true not a huge fan. I can take it in small bits. Then I hear.....your wasting your money it is going to spoil. Okay I did not buy a lot of pineapple and it was already cored. I figured my son might eat some of it too.
This all coming from a person who is eating ice cream and doughnuts as she says this.
I didn't say much... because I already know in my head that I am doing something right. I have lost almost 25 pounds. So in one ear and out the other. No stopping in the brain to process. Just Keep it Moving.

lol - we all go through this.
Try not to let those words affect you - you said it yourself - you know what you are doing is working.0 -
haha!! I know what you mean! My hubby keeps complaining I'm spending too much money on "special food" aka healthy food. He says I end up throwing it away, but I don't. How would he know? He's NEVER home!! Ok, done with my rant. Just frustrated with his lack of support.0

I would say this person is already a better friend because they are taking the time to look over your diary and relate it to what they know about you. Personally I would prefer someone who makes this sort of effort over the normal 'Good job!', 'Good day', 'Yummy day' sorta rhetoric I see day after day.
If somebody were making comments I regularly found hurtful I would first thank them for paying attention and trying to help me. Then I would mention how their words made me feel. If they were truly a good friend, I hope they would change.
If they couldn't and it got too much, there's always friend removal.0 -

Oh man I go through almost the same thing. My boyfriend is constantly saying things like "I give it a week before you're back up to 5 sodas a day and quit working out all together." Mainly my fault because I've done that many many times since I've joined, which is why I weigh more now than I did when I originally joined and had to fix my profile. But guess what? Tomorrow marks the last day of my first week and I am feeling soooo much better both physically and mentally and I am NOT about to quit now. And he's going to owe me a nice healthy dinner at Jason's Deli. Lol. Just ignore the nay sayers and keep on keepin' on!!0 -
I'm happy for you, and I'mma let you finish, but meat is the greatest food ever invented.0

If god didn't want us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them out of meat, right?I'm happy for you, and I'mma let you finish, but meat is the greatest food ever invented.0 -

Exactly. I want to join the new PETA
People for the eccentric tasting of animals.
Imagine, top hat, monocle, waxed mustache, and grilled meat appetizers.0 -
No matter how well I eat now, after so many years of eating poorly I don't think I have the right to make negative comments about anyone's food choices. I guess you could say that my diet criticism license was revoked by the food police!0

perhaps you should address this person personally instead of creating a thread about it-as this will do nothing to solve your problem. But I guess people just like *****ing instead of addressing the issue.0 -
If they are on your `friends list and you don` feel that you are getting along with them because of this issue then delete them? then they can not view your diary?I am all for people looking at my diary and telling me where I am doing good and where I am doing bad.

I hear it at work all the time. Last week was eating sliced cucumber, baby carrots, laughing cow cheese and an apple with my water. Someone walked past and told me I was going to starve to death. This is the same person who told me the week before that I was fat and I needed to do something about it. I was told that I was never going to lose any weight eating that way. So the 13 pounds that I've lost and the pants that are threatening to fall off my butt mean nothing right? I smiled and said nothing about the really big Starbucks coffee (loaded with everything but the kitchen sink) that he was holding and went back to happily munching on my cucumber. slices I'm lucky when it comes to produce, hubby works at a grocery store and gets me whatever fruit/veggies I want - so at least I don't have to hear about it at home.0

people who criticize you for taking an interest in your health are just bitter and jealous that they don't have the self control and willpower to do the same thing.
simple as that.0 -

Exactly.
OP- The person making the remarks isn't trying to be a good friend; she is mad that you are making positive efforts and you are doing it better than she is. She's jealous and is angry at herself for eating cake instead of fresh fruit.0 -
And OP, you do not have to justify to ANYBODY why you are eating pineapple, or what will be done with the leftovers, or whatever. It's your life, your business, and people need to BUTT OUT.0

make your diary private then you won't have to waste your time making a thread complaining about a diary that you decided to make public...that is pretty ironic...0

That is just not very nice. Keep on going with what you are doing and feel free to ignore the next paragraph but here is my two sense about pineapple
If you don't like pineapple by itself, have you tried Pineapple Mango Salsa? It is great on pork. We had it for mothers day this evening (ugh so fat feeling after that wonderful meal!)
My aunt gets a whole pineapple, 2 mangoes, a red pepper, a small red onion, and a few jalapenos to taste (we like it spicy):devil: Chop it all up into itty bitty pieces (i think she gets it to like 1/4 inch or smaller cubes) and mix. It lasts a few days in the fridge or you can give it away. I had 100g (about a half cup) and it was only about 100 calories.0 -

Gee whiz - we are damned if we do and damned if we don't.
And to the OP - to heck with those people. They'll find other things to criticize people for. It diverts them from the thoughts of self-hatred they feel for themselves.0 -
I charge a dollar to let people make comments on my diary. Sorry, only take PayPal at the moment.0

if u have your diary open anyone has any right to do that so0

OP Ignore the cheating fatties and keep eating clean and healthy. You got this.0 -
That's exactly why I leave my diary closed - I would never DREAM of saying anything like that to someone else who has an open diary - have actually gleaned some great ideas for snacking from their diaries so appreciate it, but if I have an opinion about some of their choices of food, what business is it of mine??!!! None. I'm not the boss of them, nor them of me, hahahahaha!0

So, you are all for people looking at your diary and giving their opinion to you, I'm down with that.
I don't really understand the rest of your post. It appears as the rest of your post is about someone in person and not one of your friends on MFP, or at least that is how it reads. So how does that pertain to your diary on MFP?
If someone commented on my diary about a food choice...I'd probably take it into consideration, I highly doubt I'd look theirs over to try find something "unhealthy" to use as a retort.0 -

Ohhhhh - that sounds delicious. And I think I have everything but the pineapple in my fridge right now.
My family gives me all kinds of crap about the food I buy too. You just can't win with some people.
My son will tell me not to eat this or that or whatever - then he'll eat an entire loaf of bread in one evening. Of course he's losing weight and I'm not so it even drives me more crazy. (but he still bought me chocolates for Mother's Day).0 -
You have two choices here: address the offender or close your diary. Or you could do both. Problem solved.0
-
I may have the wrong end of the stick here, but it sounds like the person who was criticizing her was there in person, not on here. The people who were offering her advice on here were the ones she was pointing out in a positive manner.0

I find that having my diary open is one of those things that helps me to stay on target. Call me on stuff. Yes, I ate B&J the other day, call me on it. I'll tell you that I only ate a fraction of what I used to eat.
I don't consider it an interference.
As for the pineapple or whatever, I would just tell people, hey, my tastes are changing. I'm trying new things. How's your donut, doughboy?
Oh and I get this ALL the time at home. I get it about my workouts. I get that my husband is much faster than I am in the pool, but when he calls me on how fast he is, I point out that I swim for an HOUR of non-stop laps, where he does one fast one and has to spend ten minutes in the shallow end. Who's the bi*ch?
Sorry. Got worked up there.0 -

Yeah, you're right; but it's sometimes fun to say things in my head that I'd REALLY like to say aloud to those who criticize me. For a while I was into making rude faces behind their backs, but I got scared I'd get caught so stopped. Now, it's all in my head :grumble:0 -
I think OP is making two points:
1. Her diary is open and she welcomes MFP members' comments re her diary.
2. She does not appreciate people who observe what she is eating for lunch or dinner and making unsolicited negative comments, while they, themselves, are eating poorly.
Me - I don't appreciate my SO telling me I spend more money on food because I eat chicken -- he thinks my $1.99/lb chicken is more expensive than this $3.99 box of crumb cakes and apple danish that he stuffs his face with. I just smile and offer him some chicken (which, by the way, I paid for).
Let's face it, unfortunately, most of us (not all) have a history of past failures. But there comes a time - like now - when we will be successful !!
VICTORY to the MFPers!!0 -

YES!!! And I am NOT giving up my free range, hand fed, cage free brown chicken ova, either, even if they are five bucks a dozen!

Yeah, like everyone is saying, there will always be people who have issues
My parents are starting to accept my healthier choices but at first they actually got annoyed with me, saying I was eating weird stuff, taking offence if I wanted to eat something different or eliminate something from the meal, mocking me... but now they just accept it, and are even taking on board some of my habits (:
So yeah, don't let other people bring you down, everyone is unique, everyone can make their own decisions, and if they can't respect yours then they aren't worth your time (:0
