When your friends eat a LOT of CRAP

I never realized there was such peer pressure to eat garbage. Thankfully I have not experienced that. Next time tell them that you will stick with your healthier foods so you can outrun them when the zombies come.

You remind them kindly that you didnt lose 19 pounds "taking it easy"... and although you could probably "afford" to eat bad once and a while, its a mental thing also. Eating bad isnt just bad for your body but after you've gone thru the struggle of losing that much weight and finally being healthy... theres a lingering "guilt" (for lack of a better word) in your head because you've spent a lot of time and patience training yourself to get away from that.

The good thing about fast food now a days, there are also healthy options... and while i'm sure you probably do reach for that i totally understand what you mean about feeling bad for eating healthy around them. Try to look at it differently... instead of feeling bad about eating healthy when they are not- hold your head up high and with confidence tell them, you should try this too If anything you stand up... strike a sexy pose and say, "THIS DOESN'T COME FOR FREE!"

Fat people arent the only ones who should eat healthy!! My 21 yr old SKINNY cousin got hit with diabetes. His body gave out while he was driving... if he didnt die from a car accident he was very close to dying from the diabetes that day. He ate mc donalds 2-3 times a day, and somehow remained skinny.

I hope you can overcome this. Either that or make healthy friends!!!!! Good luck girl. BTW, you are an inspiration to others like me who are still in the begining phases of what you've "already done".

Urgh! I have the same problems. It's even worse when you're sharing a fridge with them because it's there all the time. However, I see nothing really wrong with pulling the allergy card... but even better is being honest about how it makes you feel. It really is crappy energy that makes you feel sluggish and uncomfortable. I am also a runner (yeah, you'd think I didn't have to lose weight, but I do)... and I just say that I can't run on that kind of energy. Eventually, they just accept it and sharing meals isn't such a big deal anymore. Plus, some of your good habits will rub off on them.

Been there, done that. They aren't being friends, they're being selfish and disrespecting what you've already told them over and over. It's up to you to either suck it up and let them continue to disrespect you, stop hanging out with them, or tell them flat out to f*cking knock it off.

If you like them and they are good friends (ala they aren't frenemy's trying to sabotage you, just friends being ignorant) be an adult and tell them to knock it off and the consequences if they don't. Ala you won't be able to hang with them, etc. They probably still won't get it for a few weeks/months, it's like training a child, but if they are true friends they will and you'll see their behavior change.

In my case, my skinny friend changed her behavior. She still slips once in a while, but 99% of the time she's fine now.

My friends do this.
They bring cookies to have at break or decide to go on a trip to Greggs, Burger King or Subway for lunch.
Just tell them you don't like the food they are eating!
I have been eating healthier and I can honestly say junk food that I used to crave just doesn't appeal to me anymore. Especially if it's deep fried or covered in greece!

I am trying to lose weight. My younger brother is really skinny, can never seem to gain weight. Well he just moved in with me yesterday, bought himself groceries and he came home with bag after bag of nothing but junk! My kids of course are going all googly eyed over everything, but now every time I open my pantry I have to look at peeps and zingers and caramel popcorn. Then my mom brings over fried chicken and cake! Seriously, why can't family understand that I don't want this crap in my house. I understand my brother eats like crap and that's his choice, but dang it I don't want to look at it all. If it's not there in my house, I"m not tempted to eat it!

Turn it around on them. When they are pushing junk at you and pressuring you to eat it, push a carrot stick that them amd pressure them to eat it. Maybe they'll get annoyed and see where you are coming from.

I have these two friends who are both athletes, and each day they'll eat a butter chicken pie, sour candy and a litre of pespi just for lunch. It grosses me out, but they still stay super fit and in great shape!

when i am weak, i give into peer pressure... i get it a lot. At work, people feel the need to drop candy that i love off at my desk and think they are making me happy... when i just want to bite the heads off the gummi bears and spit them back at them... ok, not really... but it's super difficult to refuse and not seem like a bummer. I finally just realized that these people are genuinely nice and they think they are my friends...and they are... so i have told them all the truth... that it may seem like a nice gesture to bring me junk and want to eat along with me... but it's really hard for me, and if they want to make me smile... how about just coming by to say hello. I now have one co-worker that brings me ice water...it started out as a joke, but i secretly LOVE it.

I love sweets, sometimes I can control my urges and before I actually eat them. I get the bag of what I think I want to eat and question myself. 70% of the time those urges go away and I do feel I come out stronger in the end. Just because your stomach is saying to eat them doesn't mean you have actually made the final decision to eat whatever it is in your mind.

Because I still live at home, I have two younger siblings and it's a pain when they are scoffing on junk food or when my parents why sweets and junk, it's in the draw and it can be tempting. I know I wouldn't eat it if it wasn't there. If I were to do my own shopping I would pick foods that I know I am going to eat and I wouldn't pick up sweets, cakes, chocolate, etc.

Sadly, I can't do that because not everyone wants to eat the foods I want to eat lol. Plus my Nan doesn't make it any better by going to Greggs, buys cakes, sausage rolls, etc. She doesn't buy me anything because she knows I don't want it.
