I usually just say I'm full, but thanks for offering. I think if you say no to someone enough they'll get the hint & stop asking.2 -

My girlfriend gets mad at me.... So if I plan on going anywhere with her I have to make sure I have lots of calories banked LOL4 -
I hate that if i go to a party, they have i case of those little 8oz bottles of water and a kitten load of alcohol and they complain that they spent so much money on the water bc people leave half empty bottles. Meanwhile there are half empty bottles of beer all over the place.2

I hate that there is free office cake on the desk next to me, and I really cannot justify eating any of it until at least lunch2

you've obviously never met my grandma in law!!!! :laugh:6 -
I really hate logging my food. I’m good at breakfast and lunch, but never seem to get dinner taken care of. Also, if I’m at a party, trying to remember that I had one of this passed hors D’Oervers, two slices of that cheese and 2 crackers... forget it!
In addition, I am gluten intolerant, which is no fun. I’ve switched to GF pasta and pizza, but sadly gluten free does not mean calorie free.
If I cut all grains out of my diet, my weight drops nicely- but I just can’t sustain it. I really don’t want to go through the rest of my life never eating a serving of rice or having a slice of bread! To me, eliminating an entire food group is not sustainable in the long run. The constant vigilance is a drag- and I’m only trying to lose those last 7 pounds!
I do love logging how many calories I’ve burned exercising, though! That’s fun!9 -
Social food anxiety... A friend yesterday said 'you should come and have lunch we'll open a nice bottle of wine.' I immediately start planning how to reduce food intake before and after. Is that what I have to go through for the rest of my life? That's how "naturally" thin people stay thin? Sigh17

Rice has gluten?

I hate watching my co-worker scarf down a whole bag of cashews without a care in the world, whereas I have to carefully count out ten stupid little nuts to put into my oatmeal in the morning.20

By far, the best part of going GF for medical reasons. “Sorry, I can’t — it will literally make me sick.”

i work with a guy who is a triathlete, he eats nuts by the bag full as well! :laugh:6 -

And I hate that despite the fact that I was satisfied after lunch, I still went and ate a slice.
And it wasn't that good.
And now I'm hating the fact that I've wasted calories on it.15 -

Yes! The idea of "wasting calories"! It makes me so mad when I get something or order something I don't like or feel like it wasn't worth it, trying to get better with my choices though.

there are moments - just moments when I hate the whole process- getting up early, lifting treadmilling, counting counting. tracking tracking...ugh already.

Right? I tend to do a vague "Oh thanks, but I have food allergies." Nobody wants to ask so I don't have to go into the whole celiac explanation, and nobody pushes because no matter what's offered, nobody's sure if it will make me sick.

At least now you know. If you hadn't had any cake you might have been thinking about cake all day! Silver lining??
Possibly the only good thing (apart from not dying sooner I guess), but it defs comes in handy sometimes!collectingblues wrote: »

Related: I hate how even though with the gluten free thing I was never one for snacking on "junk food" or eating takeaway all the time because I can't eat most of it, I still managed to get overweight on just too much "healthy" homecooked food and now I don't have that easy step of "quit eating so much junk" that a lot of people can do to shed a few pounds. I see people who start slimming world where pasta and rice are "free food" and then they lose weight when that was what made me overweight in the first place! Sounds stupid when I write it down but I still feel cheated.9 -
I hate that I can't see food as food anymore. It's calories and macros. I miss the days of ignorant bliss!13
