Most annoying comments people make about dieting

One of my roommates (who can eat whatever the hell he wants and as long as he exercises occasionally, look fabulous) is always going out for fast food and usually invites me along. Anytime I turn it down and remind him that I'm trying to eat healthier, he actually gets really concerned for me. He'll make comments like "It's not that many calories, you need to calm down" or (jokingly) "Oh great, this is just what we need, you're anorexic now." He doesn't seem to understand that I eat PLENTY every day (I eat at my BMR rate) AND I work out... no, to him, any time I turn down food I must be developing an eating disorder.

I guess it's sweet that he cares, but I wish he would just understand what I'm trying to do!

*You don't need to lose any more weight ~ Yes I do, I'm still 10lbs into the overweight category.
*Can you eat that on your diet? ~ Yes, I'm calorie counting, not cutting.

Best was at a meal when I'd decided to give myself a bit of a treat.. friend starts asking how the diet's going, how many calories would be in the plate of food I was eating etc. Completely put me off and made me feel guilty!

Other thing that bugs me is when people invite me somewhere and say "you are going to eat, aren't you?" They mean am I going to get a three course meal.. and the answer to that is no. I'll have a healthy main meal, and I'm happy with that. Dad was going mad over Christmas because I was refusing chocolates some evenings (although I still ate enough to put 3lbs on just to put things into perspective) and I feel like screaming "Does it REALLY matter to you whether I'm stuffing my face or not?!"

I'VE learned to have a good time and enjoy myself without having to be stuffing my face with rubbish at the same time. I just wish other people would leave me alone and accept that it is possible for that to happen!

Life shouldn't revolve around food. I used to think it did, hence why I got myself to 18 stone odd in the first place. I'm not letting that happen anymore, and I swear I will be a healthy weight very soon.

Sister in law said to me: "I remember when you USE to be so tiny."

People talking about others (who are smaller than me) being sooo fat.

I don't know why this irritates me, but maybe it's because I tend to hear it from people who never fought a huge battle with weight:

"The only exercise I do is pushing myself away from the table."

I work in a small office where we have a LOT of junk food readily available (not to mention pot lucks, and random "oh I felt like baking so here are cakespiescookiesbreadsetc etc etc etc!) and I usually have no problem saying "no thank you" and sticking to what I bring for my daily food allowance at work.... but it NEVER fails.. I get the inevitable "oh just have ONE... it won't hurt you to just have a LITTLE... oh I don't know how you resist and just eat that healthy junk!" and so on and so on. They fail to understand I am not restricting myself, depriving myself or anything else... I'm making healthy choices for myself and enjoying it! I bring a huge variety of fruits, veggies, whole grains and the occasional "treat" of cheese or yogurt... believe me, I am not missing anything! :-)

When you eat something not so healthy....I often get the comment...."So the diets off im guessing!" It drives me mad!!

my cousin says " your not trying to look like Angela basset when she played tina turner are you?"
another cousin " i hope your not still trying to lose weight!"
my mom " you only cook for yourself" - umm no i dont you just like everything fried
coworkers " I hate yall skinny health conscious chicks!" huh?? do I say anything about your mcdonalds tirades
Im sure I can think of more but thats enough for one day

I hate when people automatically assume because I eating healthy that I am saying they have to eat healthy too. Then they have to say something like "I could never do that to myself. Why are you eating ThAT?" like eating healthy is a sin and I am denying myself some fantastic reward!

It's the holidays you shouldn't diet during the hoildays. dumb dumb dumb thing to say!

Me: *Sitting in the kitchen eating two slices of bacon*
Brother: *GASP* You're eating... FOOD..? I thought you ate like.. sticks and leaves and stuff.
Me: Just because I'm not making a subway footlong my personal b*tch doesn't mean I don't eat!

I just don't like when people try to force me to eat because I'm not fat. No I'm not overweight anymore but I'm not happy with myself still so I should still be allowed to lose weight or at least maintain it.
