    Some things bug me when I see it all the time! haha

    That one I don't mind SO much only because I can say I've truly experienced it. Being obese and now fit and thin. I mean, WOW! It is true for me that as great as food is, it can't beat feeling as great as I do, shopping for clothes ANYWHERE, having energy for my son and the confidence to enjoy life the way it should be enjoyed.

    Again, I am corny!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :blushing:

    I don't really know why it bugs me... I mean, I like being slim more than pigging out all the time... but that's not what I get from the saying. I think maybe it's the use of the word "skinny" maybe if it was "nothing tastes as good as healthy feels"? hmmm not sure. Maybe I really am crazy :huh:

    I hate it when people say it to me....but I find that I say it to myself whenever I want to fall off the deep end and eat a couple pizzas. lol.

    I will tell you that I HATE it when people comment on my food (amount, content, anything)....

    But I promise, I will never quote your most hated line to you ever...okay? I'm on your side. :flowerforyou:

    YES I hate it when people comment on my food too. The other day my sister was like uh? how do you eat pizza and still lose weight? In this tone that totally said "are you going to the bathroom in 5 minutes to throw that up?" I hate when people make unfair assumptions about how I'm losing weight based on ONE meal.

    I think that is a silly saying.....there are SO many people that are skinny fat......skinny but unhealthy. Food can be tasty and healthy.....and with exercise you can feel good about yourself no matter your size. And if by good choices you get smaller then great!

    YES! you make an excellent point. I think that's it. The saying assumes that eating and being thin are opposite things. When in really eating is neccessary no matter your size.

    Yep, I actually dislike the word "skinny". Skinny is not a goal. Healthy is.

    Also, I think it's possible to enjoy the taste of something that's been coded as "naughty" in moderation and still be healthy. :flowerforyou:

    I also HATE when anyone says anything about my food. What I've chosen to eat or not eat and when and how is MY business.

    I completely agree. Skinny people are tough and chewy.

    Wait....I think I read that wrong.

    I dislike the saying as well.

    My goal isn't "skinny," I've seen some nasty skinny in my days... :laugh:

    ***And I am not talkin those naturally slender people (genetics oi!)... but those who's sole goal is skinny... no matter the cost.

    Why do people have to comment when we order a healthy dish at a restaurant? They look at us like, "how can you eat that?"...just as they chomp on a 2000 cal McGlutton.

    I agree...I don't want to be skinny. I want to be fit and healthy.

    OT, you're the only other person besides myself that I've ever seen with a quote from Epictetus!

    Oh and it bothers me because they are two different sensations. Taste and Feel, nope, not cohesive. Must be my Type-A personality coming through.

    Yes, it does. It almost bugs me as much as: "How do you like them apples". :grumble:

    Personally, I hate that phrase.
    A LOT of food tastes waaaaaay better than skinny feels.
    I dislike the phrase because it insinutates that you cannot eat good tasting food and be thin/healthy/skinny. NOT TRUE.
    Moderation. Portion control. Calorie Counting. Exercise.
    I still eat great tasting food (and junk :laugh: ), just much less of it.


    And I like Amy's point above that taste and feel are too separate senses, thus the phrase compares apples to oranges.

    ill tell you what i hate... i hate when you a. bring something healthy to work for lunch or b. order something healthy at a restaurant and when people that are NOT healthy or (thin even) try to make comments to make you feel guilty for eating healthy. like your taking a dig at other peoples lunches by bringing something healthy. its extremely annoying not to mention--its actually one of the reasons i gained a few lbs is by letting those people get to my mental choices!

    That quote was actually used alot by people who were "pro-ana". Back when I was in high school I used to starve myself to lose weight and I would always go to pro ana chatrooms and websites that give you tips, "thinspiration" photos, and quotes.

    I def. don't do that anymore!

    But yea..that quote was used by/for "pro-anorexics."

    yep, that's true. But it is also used by A LOT of MFP members. I hope they are not subscribing to those types of websites too.
