ARGGHHH!! How can i get it across???

You can't get it across, and he won't even appreciate your careful reasoning. He'll just keep repeating his little mantra and you will go insane.

In other words, he is two and a half years old mentally. Too bad he knows how to use a keyboard. :-(

You should have taken a pic of your snack and put it up in the same album so this moron will see it..

Another suggested response for his original comment would be, oh.. I'm not that hungry tonight, after all the cookies I ate today, but I thought this looked a tasty.. it's none of his business what you eat.

Not to be mean or flippant, but why do you care?

You don't have to convince the whole world that you're right or that what you're doing is the best thing for you.

I'd just say, "Thanks for your insights," and move on. I might hide his posts or unfriend him, depending on how much he contributed to the rest of my life.

You don't have to attend every argument that you're invited to, you know?

thats just how i am

I just wouldn't worry about it. Of course it's a diet. A diet can also be pizza and beer. I don't consider what I'm doing "dieting". This is just how I eat now. I count my calories and try to hit my macros but I'm also trying to reach a goal. I've had people say, "you're always dieting". I'm watching what I eat but I do eat.

You could always point out that the definition of a diet is the sum of the food consumed by an organism. So yes, you are on a diet but so is he and everyone else in the word.

This is good

Unfortunately not all people realize we are all on a "diet" - some are vegan, some are slightly vegan, some are eating according to a calorie limit, some are allergic to nuts and could die so they are on a "no nut diet", some don't care and eat whatever is put in front of them, and yet others are on a garbage pit diet digging for food because they have no money to buy any. If someone doesn't like a certain food, you could even say they are on a "no ____fill in the blank____ diet. The list can go on and on.
When it all comes down to it, it shouldn't matter who is eating what but that people shouldn't use their tongues as weapons against others. It does nobody good. Although, it serves as a great indicator as to the heart of the whole person. If this man's heart is as wicked as his tongue, Psalms and Proverbs is full of good advice on this by the way, remove him from your Facebook friends. Who knows who else he is treating the same way (friends of yours). He needs to be held accountable as I hope my friends would hold me accountable if/when I say something hurtful, slanderous, or other.

This. We're all on a 'diet' if you want to get technical about it. And he obviously is just trying to get you upset so that you'll argue with him. Why give him the satisfaction?

My vote is for kick him in the nuts - while eating the cheesecake you have calories for - but I have PMS so don't necessarily listen to my advice :laugh:

AGREED! We really need a LIKE button on here!!!

Hope you deleted him off your facebook. Then when he emails, calls, texts or whatever asking why you did that, just be brutally honest. You have decided to become HEALTHY! And, in order to do that, you 've had to make some changes in your life, for the longterm!!! This is the way you plan on eating the rest of your life. This isn't something you are doing until you reach a certain number on the scale, then go back to 2000 - 3000 calories a day and gain it all back. And we all have days where we look back on them and think we should have done something differently, but who doesn't?! Even the guy with an ice pack on his crotch HAS to agree with that logic (that's if he can still talk

)

Keep doin' what you're doin' and someday he will eat his words!! In t he mean time, who needs that added stress . . . get rid of him! You have all of us!! :happy:

Can you make my dinner, i adore scallops (scrap the potato though just loads of veg)

The more you are critized by some people, the more you are doing it right. Some people just want the world to burn
