COMMENTARY!

Do you all get bizarre comments on what you're eating when you diet? I try to eat smaller meals about every 2-3 hours, each with some low fat protein and some quality carbs.

I was just in the kitchen at work putting some peanut butter on a rice cake and I got

"Ew rice cakes? They don't taste like anything!"

And I constantly get crap from people if the subject of egg whites comes up - everyone seems so concerned that I'm "wasting the yolks"

It's just really annoying. People act like I belong to a cult or something!

Re: COMMENTARY!

I hate the comments and questions ... even people that are supportive can be "too much" at times. I have a lady at work who did successfully at WW, so now every time I pass her desk (which is right near the kitchen) she asks me what I ate, how much I lost, how I feel, how many flex points I used. I don't mind speaking about it on occassion, but this is like 4, 5, 6 times a day from one person and she's constantly telling me how to eat.
I know she's not doing it maliciously and is trying to be helpful but sometimes I don't want to think about food and diet 24/7. Sometimes I just want a cup of coffee in the kitchen!

Re: COMMENTARY!

Here's what I like to do. I look at the person and give a whole hearted, enthusiastic, "CONGRATULATIONS!" they look at me funny and say "what for?"

I say "I didn't know you got a..."
A) diet police certification
B) Food critic's job
C) Insert other appropriate remark here.

Or if I'm not in a very saucy mood I'll jsut say "Well, I like it." or "Well it's my choice isn't it?" or I'll just point out "Well, you aren't the one eating it are you?"

Ultimately remember, you are making a healthy choice, a choice that is yours only and anyone who has a negative opinion to give more than likely has their own problem.

Makes me FUMING MAD!
