My roommates keep looking at me crazy

So, for dinner today I had pumpkin soup, zucchini, and a bread roll. It was aight. But my roommate (I have four of them) was in the kitchen with me chatting it up when she looked down at my plate. She was like, "Danie, that's what you're eating." She's used to indulging, I think. She eats a lot of microwavable stuff or her chef boyfriend will cook for her and she still remains looking in good shape. ANYWAYS, I was like, "Yeah..." eyeing her back like I wish she would keep talkin' about my dinner. And she was like, "Okay. Well, good for you..I guess. That's a good healthy meal after you're done working out." And her eyes shift around to indicate she was being factitious.
And my other roommates do the same thing. My roommates will make lots of pasta or will wanna take shots and I shoot it down because I'm like..well..number one, it's not Friday. I can't be taking shots on a Monday night especially with all the empty calories it has. I might as well have some cookies. Number two, thank you but what you cooked is a lot of carbs and salt and sugar and I'm trying to reduce my intake of those things. And three out of four of them will always be like, "Girl! Live your life. Who cares. Eat what you want to. Don't be a Kelsey!" (Kelsey is a super old roommate. She was a model and she wasn't very smart or very nice and she only ate like lettuce and water and other people's happiness. There is a joke we have about how she was upset that she didn't buy the right lettuce and she went all the way back to the store for it.)

Like, does anyone else live with folks who side eye you when you're trying to change your diet and work out?

    I don't love with people but I have some friends that had trouble with it. Bc inwas always the fat friend, she throws comments like the one you friend said at me. You're going to run into this. The smallee you get, the more she might be like that. Just keep going and don't let it get out of hand. Don't be afraid to shoot the stfu side eye at her either.

    oops, I read it.

    When did we go from the generation that "Did your own thing" to one where we give a Flying Fig what anyone else thinks?

    Do you have any *supportive* room mates? Like people who don't criticize you and make you defend your per-determined choices and boundaries all the time? If so, hang more with that person. Because these folks could certainly be more encouraging, as friends go.

    Good for you for not falling to their peer pressure.

    it's about them, not you. their guilt over not eating or living as well as they could.

    I think it's sort of funny because one of them wants to lose weight. She wants to just have nicer arm, but I'm like, listen: You can't pick and choose. Your body basically decides where it wants to lose. If you want slimmer arms, you gotta work on your whole body and just walking isn't going to help. It's about your diet and you gotta incorporate weights, ya dig? And I try to help her out a big and help her make better choices but then she'll be like, "WOOOOW. You aren't going to eat pasta. Woooow just get a milkshakes with me. WOoooW you're being boring."

    I don't actually care what they think but I sometimes think that they think I'm doing this cause I loathe myself or something. And I'm like..nah. I just don't have money to have to be buying insulin and I would like to be able to buy less fabric when I'm sewing something.
