    I try to stick to my calorie allotment and do pretty at it, but the woman who sits next to me is always talking about raw food and seeds that are supposed to be "good" for you. Last week, for a snack I got a bag out of my lunch box, 100 calorie Keebler cookies. When she saw them, she said "You know that isn't real food." I asked her to not criticize my food and mind her own business. She said that was her opinion and she was entitled to it. She could say whatever she wanted to say. She made me so angry, I am not talking to her now.

    Why do people feel they can say whatever they want regardless of how they make you feel.

    How come when I eat anything, even something healthy, I get the looks and the "should you be eating that?" But when some skinny girl is stuffing her face with doritos and brownies and other crap that's not healthy, no one says anything other than "wow, where do you put that?" Guess what, you might be able to what you want and stay SKINNY, but you damn sure can't eat what you want and stay HEALTHY!

    Because, unfortunately in this society it is still considered ok to bully, discriminate, and otherwise put down overweight people. This is the only group that society will not get in an uproar over not being tolerated.

    I actually look at this differently. I don't think that when I see a "skinny" girl eat something unhealthy, because I believe a very, very small minority of people are just skinny....we just don't see them working out....and they probably don't eat that cupcake or Doritos all the time. I've come to learn this. For them it's a treat (usually), for our "former selves" it was an all the time thing....hence we are the ones over weight. Just a different perspective. :-)

    Lol...ok, I totally know what you mean. I also love the way some skinny people look at overweight people with that 'uh-huh' scoff when they order a salad in a restaurant, because you KNOW they are thinking that overweight people NEVER eat salad and that they think that we're all just sitting around stuffing our face with whoopie pies and chocolate bars that we keep on reserve in our purses. It reminds me of Eddie Murphy playing Sherman Klump in the Nutty Professor, when he's sitting at the table with his family and trying to eat all healthy and he's acting all dainty about putting tiny little pieces of food on his fork... it's the perfect visualization of my point. lol.

    I agree!! It also bugs me when people assume just because i'm losing weight I shouldnt be eating a chocolate bar, chips, etc. Sometimes I am way under my calories for the day, and feel I can treat myself once in a while! People need to mind their own business.
