Seriously, if you have asked them to lay off, you could always give them a dose of their own medicine. Ugh, fast food again? Do you know what that does to your fatty, bloated, salt riddled body? :frown:0 -
Yes. Reminds me of something I saw earlier today:
I'm a college student and a lot of people can be super judgmental about others who are trying to live a healthier lifestyle.0 -
I had a Fruit 2 Go in the fridge one time and my co-worker lamented about sugar in it. But he's kind of a nutter. But my co-workers don't normally comment on my food.
For a while I was getting soup from a cafeteria down the hall, like, every single day. Those really thick soups too - beer cheese, creamy wild rice, German sausage chowder (basically anything nasty lol) and once the caf girl was training someone new. She said to the trainee "Oh this girl gets soup, like, every day. I swear she's on a broth diet."
...Yeah. Well if beer cheese is a broth diet then paint me green and call me Gumby. Also? Um, I'm right here. I can hear you.0 -
I got transferred to work at another restaurant in the chain where I work. During that time, my new manager would never shut up about what I was eating; it was ridiculous.
If I brought in raw fruit or veggies to snack on, she'd be all "Eww, gross, healthy food!" If I brought in soup or a sandwich, she'd whine that I didn't share. She would bring in food and share it with us, but it was always along the lines of Chex Mix, M&Ms, or fun-size candy bars. I'm not gonna eat that, so it made sense to me to bring my own food since I'm not eating what everyone else is eating.
Now that I'm back at my regular location, no one cares because we generally have better things to worry about than what someone else is eating. It honestly boggles my mind how concerned people get when someone else has different eating patterns. I guess they feel like your eating better is some sort of affront to them.0 -
You know what I hate? When there's going to be an early morning meeting at work and they tell you beforehand that they'll provide breakfast, and instead of like muffins and fruit, it's donuts.0

Yup. I work in an office of just women, the majority of whom are quite overweight (myself included). They are very unsupportive, its pretty sad. I take my lunch every day too. I'm in control of my calories this way, and it saves money. I just ignore them...if theyre very persistant I'll make a comment back like "Salads are great, you should try one sometime." Mean, yes, but they generally shut up after that.
Awesome. And yes, they are jealous of your self-control and dedication. Keep it going, girl!0 -
I get this as well. I've come to the conclusion that these people are just envious of you. They're simply jealous of how you're able to control this aspect of your life. I feel as though most of these people (deep down) wouldn't want to see you succeed. Seriously, it's like... "Are you serious? Yes, I know I can eat a cheeseburger and still live... come on now." Very annoying indeed. Don't let the teasing mess with your dedication to a long healthy life. Keep doing you!0

People try to sabotage your progress in order to validate their own lifestyle choices. I get comments on my healthy lunches and mostly I don't give a crap because I'm not being a goody goody, I actually enjoy eating salad. I have a colleague that thinks it's his right to comment on everyone's lunch and when I put kumara (sweet potato) on my salad he started on about that. WTF? I'm having a salad with a starch vege it's not deep fried or dipped in chocolate! Get a grip man. I giggled to myself when I saw him eating pastry for morning tea - hypocrite. Sometimes you have to politely tell them you don't appreciate the comments and hope it stops.0

No, it doesn't happen where I work now. Most people seem to eat home lunch, and most of those lunches look pretty healthy. People here tend to mind their own business.
In the past I worked at an office where some of the women just had to comment on everyone's lunch because they were the self-appointed commentators. I remember once eating plain yogurt with some honey I put on it and having one of them say "Ewww! Who eats yogurt and honey?"
As the others said those people in your office are probably jealous and threatened by your new eating habits. Ignore them. You're on the right path.0 -
Comments like these are rude. It is nobodies buisness what others eat for lunch.0

I am the only woman in the auto parts store where I work.
4 of us bring in our home packed lunches, 2 do not.
Of us 4, I am the only one who, to my knowledge, is working toward a weight goal. 2 of the men are heart attack survivors and very conciencious about what they eat. All 5 of us each believe it is something of a waste of money to eat out every single day.
So, in this respect, I guess I am pretty lucky. The last time I worked with mostly women, I ate my lunch in my car, whether I packed it at home or not. (For most of the reasons others have stated!)0 -

Lol I'm sorry but I can understand where the girl is coming from. She shouldn't have said what she did but sometimes we will refer to customers by what they buy because we don't know their name. Its not meant to be mean, its just how we know our regulars.0 -
I have my boyfriend and 3 sons constantly making fun of me. "Thats gross" , "hows your rabbit food mom?"0

I work by myself for the majority of my day, so I don't have to worry about people watching me eat.
However, most of the ladies I work with are "trying" to lose weight. I occasionally get the compliment (which is sincere btw) that I'm looking good and they ask me what I do. When I tell them mainly changed my diet and start to explain it to them, they quickly lose interest and talk about the current fad diet they are going to try... At one point at least 4 women were taking the hgc drops (or w/e they're called) and got super defensive when I tried to point out how bad it is.0 -
My husband refers to these type of people as "salad dodgers". Don't let them run you over because they want to feel okay about there life style choices.0
-
Who cares? Say something smart *kitten* back to them. They're just teasing you. Why take it so personal? God people are so overly dramatic on these forums.0
-
I get made fun of sometimes, but not in a mean-spirited way. They just want me to eat more so they'll feel better about the crap they're eating, imo. This has been going on for almost 10 years, so I don't really mind at this point.0
-
My coworkers caught me eating a donut and I heard one say "...When does he ever eat anything that isn't health?"
Ahahaha.0 -
I wouldn't say I get made fun of, but people do feel free to comment on what I'm eating for lunch all the time. They also make comments about my amazing willpower and how they couldn't do what I do or whatever. I've been on summer break, but it's almost time for school to start again and I'm not really looking forward to returning to eating in the lunch room.0
