I am becoming judgemental

People judge others ALL THE TIME. It's totally normal human nature. Right now there's a bunch of people sitting at their computers judging you for being judgey.

What matters is that you keep your judgement to yourself and let them choose their own path. If they ask for advice, offer them what you can with kindness.

Bingo---Post Win !

Yes, people judge all the time but I think it's the superiority of the post that people are jumping on. The "OMG! It's 8:30 in the morning and you're eating THAT?!? How DISGUSTING!"

sure I'll judge people I see in the grocery store some times (I'll also look and try to figure out what the person has going on in their life like the person who buys 100 cans of cat food - crazy cat person. The guy who buys 10 Hungry Man Entrees, a case of beer and chips - bachelor) but I also judge myself when I've bought a lot of crap. Once I had a bag of chips, two bars of chocolate and a box of tampons on the belt and all I thought was "Great. Now everyone knows I am PMSing!" :laugh:

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.

When my husband and I found out our son was ADHD at 4 years old, we opted to try diet changes (no artificial colors, flavors preservatives and so on). He could still eat candy and junk, as long as it didn't have these ingredients. This became a problem when going to church/Sunday school and other get togethers (birthday parties and such). Because the changes helped him and his ADHD tendencies, we continued to monitor these things the best we could. We shared with others what we were doing and to please not give our son artificial food items.
It has been a struggle, but 9 years later we are seeing parents making similar choices for their kids!
Moral of my long winded tale, Stick to what works for you and encourage others, without being condemning. They may eventually question you more about what you are doing and try to make similar changes!
Keep on keepin' on!

Keep on being judgmental?

I don't verbalize it but I totally judge my extended family. Several of my female relatives are quite overweight, and have done fad dieting (shakes, herbal stuff) to drop a few pounds in a quick and unhealthy way, only to put it all (and more) back on. Diabetes also runs in my family. We're of Eastern European descent so the food we eat at get-togethers, while homemade, is often very heavy, and the desserts are sometimes terrible store-bought crap. I've lost 10 pounds in the last couple of months through exercise and a calorie deficit, and a big reason why I'm doing it is because I don't want to look like them, and I don't want their health problems. It's like my future staring me in the face and I'm not going to let that happen to me.
