I am becoming judgemental

I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with chips and peanut butter cups.
I think they should make peanut butter cups with chips in them. Or chips coated in chocolate and peanut butter.
Or you could spread peanut butter between two chips and dip it in chocolate. Peanut butter-chip-chocolate sandwich.
Also, there's never any such thing as too much frosting. That cupcake looks heavenly in a deadly way.
Depends on the frosting lol
I can now taste the shortening used in the frosting and that aftertaste bugs me. I live near a cupcake shop like that. Also, her cupcakes are dry too so its sadness all around.
Oh well, saves me money. Ill just have to make my own hahaha0 -
BTW, my plan for dinner is a double cheeseburger from Five Guys followed by a Butterfinger. Go ahead and judge me.
No fries? How can you have a burger and no fries?
(Never had a Five Guys burger. I heard they are to DIE for).
When you order fries at Five Guys they give you like 10 pounds of them. They seriously put some fries in a paper thing like McDonald's, place it in the bag, then dump another few scoops of fries on top of it. It's crazy.
But, with a 900-calorie burger you have to cut back somewhere :laugh:
Pfffft. No Five Guys without cajun fries. I mean, come on. I cut back nowhere with my Five Guys. It's totally do-able with a little burger. Plus they recently created a smaller size of fries- like within the last year. But the normal size? Yeah, I always shared that among 2 or 3 people.
Quit being judgmental about my fry-ordering habits, devil woman!
Hi, BTW.0 -
I do admit though, there are times that I feel similarly to what the OP posted...mostly on facebook when friends post about breakfast at Panera, lunch at Applebees, dinner from Pizza Hut, and a frozen custard snack...in one day. It's almost impossible not to mentally tally up the NI and calories of that ;-) And of course it's usually from someone who often talks about weight loss.
That is different though. I took it as she's just walking around and seeing people eat these things with their lunch and that it's not something they do all day long.
It really is annoying though regardless of whether or not you eat healthy when people judge you on what you eat. When I worked in an office people would go ape if they saw me eating a piece of candy or God forbid I got a basket of fries for lunch. I felt like I was a monkey in the zoo the way they swarmed around my cubicle watching me eat and exclaiming over the fact that I ate "bad" food.
I think you misunderstood, it is 8:30 in the morning, not lunch time.
Ive eaten sushi for breakfast.
And some of my friends here eat steak at 8am.
Love cold pizza for breakfast, but my favorite is cold spaghetti/sauce/parm cheese. The breakfast of champions. On a serious note, I always eat what I'm in the mood for and ccasionally, it will not coincide with the correct meal timing.0 -

My favorite thing to eat at 8:30 AM is cold pizza with Diet Coke.

Judge all you want - we all judge others constantly. Just keep it internal - don't let it spill out of your face.0

As long as you know you're getting judged just as much, I guess it's cool. See that's the problem when you judge people and you're not perfect.0

So?
They could have had their breakfast at 6 a.m. and this is just a snack that they're having and that they have planned into their day. The fact of the matter is that you don't know.
Would it make you feel better if they were eating a donut instead?
Hey, something we totally agree on!0 -
It's not up to us, however, to educate the masses. If your co-workers see your progress and they see how healthy you're becoming, they may ask you for what you did. Some will reply, "Wow, that sounds rough" and continue eating doughnuts. Some might start thinking, "Hey, that sounds like something I could do." And for some, you may just be the final push they need into trying to improve themselves. But it's never up to us to judge them for what they're doing or try to change them. Can't make decisions for others, but you can sure help them find their way if they're asking for help. Diet is a very personal thing.

ThisSo yeah. Everyone gets uppity about their awesome stuff when they start. You'll get over it.

It doesn't really matter if you're judgemental. Maybe it'll make you feel better about yourself. It's only going to be a problem if you're open about it. Keep the smugness within you = no issue.0

Hi, BTW.
Hi! I mean, I just expected better from a fast food guru like you. I'm pretty positive you have a "best of" Taco Bell list, so forgoing the cajun fries is a major oversight! I forgive you for it though.0 -

I cant do cold pasta like that because clumping.
Like pasta salad is fine - not the kinda with mayo unless its my Grams. She puts shrimp in it unless ive eaten them all haha
Cold pizza = amazeballs0 -
It's good you recognize it, we all have moments of judgement but don't stay there. I've lost 20 lbs and I did not cut out chips and candy, I only limited how much and how often. Don't judge because as you said, you aren't perfect....none of us are.0

Judging is human.. Don't stress0

I'm still not sure why THEIR eating habits should affect you, at all? They might be doing their own version of the Twinkie diet. Lol!
Are you jealous, because you have to eat healthy and they don't?
Seriously, this is a phase and it will pass, as you realize the whole world isn't going to change with you.0 -

It's alright to judge what you eat, but keep in mind that those people are making their own health decisions. In the past, maybe you weren't as knowledgable as you are now, or didn't care as much. It happens to the best of us. We've all experienced it and we all know what it's like to not be constantly thinking about calories, macros, and nutrition in general.
It's not up to us, however, to educate the masses. If your co-workers see your progress and they see how healthy you're becoming, they may ask you for what you did. Some will reply, "Wow, that sounds rough" and continue eating doughnuts. Some might start thinking, "Hey, that sounds like something I could do." And for some, you may just be the final push they need into trying to improve themselves. But it's never up to us to judge them for what they're doing or try to change them.

I agree completely with this.
Judging others is sometimes inevitable, but you've gotta try to keep it in perspective as it can be a slippery slope.
Think for a moment about someone with much stricter dietary habits than your own, and how annoying it would be to see them looking down their nose at you or to know that they're judging you for eating something processed, or whatever. It's not a good feeling.
My best advice is to just stay out of it as much as you can, and keep to the thoughts of "I'm so glad I know better than to indulge in X, Y, Z all day long"
I do admit though, there are times that I feel similarly to what the OP posted...mostly on facebook when friends post about breakfast at Panera, lunch at Applebees, dinner from Pizza Hut, and a frozen custard snack...in one day.

Agree with both of these.
I judge too.. but its super annoying to be judged.
Super Bowl Sunday there was a guy--actually a great friend of mine-- who knew I was dieting and he had much stricter dieting than I did (though his isn't something he is going to be able to sustain longterm) and so while there I felt completely under the radar. I had told him of a recipe that I had made with cheese in it and he looked confused and repulsed that I ate cheese. I ate off the vegetable tray even though I could afford a cookie.
When he left, I ate that cookie. As did another friend who is way more fit than both me and that guy, but they too had felt judged.0 -

This is a good point.... it is still each person's responsibility, but if a person eating out in the open feels judged for what he or she is eating out in the open, he or she will move the eating into a more private setting, and is more likely to binge eat in that private setting. So OP's judging, if it becomes obvious to her coworkers, could lead to their downfall, in the long run.0 -
Walking through the office this morning at 8:26 am, I have seen people eating their lunch, chips and peanut butter cups. And all I can think is unbelievable! I am by no means perfect, not even close. But, I am becoming so much more aware of what I am eating and the nutritional value that I am judging other peoples habits.
It'll fade. People who are new to a hobby or interest often become highly judgmental of how others do it. For instance, new guitar players will sneer at people playing old ratty guits and new photographers with expensive DSLRs will judge others based on their older or less-capable camera.
Then something amazing happens. As you become highly experienced, you realize that the obvious, external signs matter less and less. John Petrucci could pick up a 30 year old $50 guitar from a Sears catalog and blow you away. Jay Maisel could take one snap with a disposable film camera that shames your entire 10,000 picture history with that fancy DSLR.
And it's the same with food. The person eating that peanut butter cup or slice of pizza might, under that suit and tie, be an 8% body fat triathlete in extraordinary health who can squat 400 lbs.
So yeah. Everyone gets uppity about their awesome stuff when they start. You'll get over it.
BTW, my plan for dinner is a double cheeseburger from Five Guys followed by a Butterfinger. Go ahead and judge me.
So not judging you, but you are definitely making me jealous!0
