    Instead of feeling "superior" consider it a step toward your health and a better understanding of what it take to be healty.

    I know what OP means and try my hardest not to.

    I have 2 family members who want to lose weight and always compliment me on my loss yet say they don't have willpower to lose themselves. They've tried WW and slimming world and failed more than once. That annoys me as they continuously insist they CAN'T lose weight.

    Oh well I've explained to them how I've done it its up to them isn't it.

    Although when I see someone scarfing down a big mac and giant fries while they drive down the street my judgementalism tends to rear its ugly head. I just try to remember that those people need our sympathy and support. When people struggle with food issues there's usually an emotional undercurrent that needs to be addressed.

    This is true... a lot of people overeat or eat junk food because they're depressed and just want five minutes of happiness. Compassion is a better attitude than snobbery. Believe me, I've been there, buying a pint of caramel ice cream to cheer me up.

    I don't care what other people eat. I stopped eating huge portions of junk food because it made me unhealthy and look and feel like crap.

    However I completely understand why people eat like this because it tastes fantastic. Live and let live - if they're happy let them be.
