Being Made Fun Of For Eating Healthy...

I've discovered most people who comment are just jealous because they are not in control of their diets/health. I have a coworker who has gotten very rude to me - only to recently find out she questioned other coworkers of mine about how I lost the weight so fast. I started about a month after she did - now I've just about reached goal and she looks the exact same (mind you I see her in the break room with the donuts, bagels, chinese food, etc).
I also get asked the "how did you do it?" and when I answer that I watch what I eat and exercise - nobody likes that! They want the magic pill solution. <sigh>
I get a lot of comments about my healthy lunches that I pack - but again I think it's all jealousy. Esp. when one gal (who I love) said "see -that's what I should be eating" - haha - yup!
Just revel in yourself - the heck with them. I do it for me - I have never tried to push it in anyone's face nor commented on what other people do or eat. I'll share my advice if asked, but that's it. I don't feel I deserve to be treated rudely because of it, but if that's the way they're going to treat me, so be it. I have no control over it & that person isn't worth my time.

The same thing happened to me at work when I first started a healthier lifestyle. I was already thinner than all of my coworkers, but I was not satisfied with my overall health. I think it made them think about their own health and choices, and they didn't like that. As everyone else has said, do what is right for you, no one else.0

Oh, you're definitely not the only one. I get made fun of all the time. My sister always tells me she's embarrassed of me in public when I say things like quinoa and hummus haha. Just don't worry about them though. I like to think that people make fun of my healthy eating because they're jealous they don't have the dedication to eat healthy like I do0

So my family always told me that I needed to start eating healthier and exercising more. They never thought that I was overweight or necessarily needed to even lose any weight, but they said it just because I never exercised and I ate a lot of junk food. So now I have gotten more conscious of myself and I have been eating healthy, counting calories, and working out everyday. And now I get made fun of and laughed at by the same people who always told me to do what I am now doing. Am I the only one having a hard time making the cross over to a healthier lifestyle? It makes it a lot harder to keep with it when everyone just laughs at you for adding up the calories in what you're eating or for making a salad instead of eating something unhealthy.
I would tell them to stick a carrot in their ear and leave me alone. :laugh: :yawn:
Seriously, you might just want to tell them that you don't appreciate their remarks and to leave you alone.0 -
Tell them if they want or need more fat in their life to start with your *kitten*.....0
