Friend who hates snacks

[Anonymous]

I have a friend who hates snacks. She will not allow them at her house and if she is at anyone’s house she will say “that will ruin your meal.” We are grown adults. For the kids she will say “you should feed them a good breakfast or lunch that way they won’t need snacks.”

Not even a handful of almonds?

“Hey Sally? I am a grown adult and make my own decisions for myself and my kid. Maybe your memory is bad, but trust that you have made it abundantly clear that you don’t like snacks. I get it. But repeating it so much is rude: I decide what I eat and when, and my children are NONE of your business.”

Disordered eating imposed on guests? That stinks.

This! Or even just “we know! You hate snacks! You’ve told us MANY times!”

Exactly and I would likely follow up with saying how much I love snacks.

Her problem. Not yours.

Meh.

People have lots of extreme ideas about food, and they tend to voice them.

The women in my office are constantly sharing snacks and tasting each other’s food throughout the day. One of them gets offended because I turn her down every time. They all want to lose weight too. I don’t go around telling them what to do though.

Wow, you’re a good person and they are trash! Good thing you’re perfect. I bet you’re fun at parties, too, and they’re boring.

My sister is like this. The people who tend to verbalize their food rules to others are the most disordered. Like religious proselytization, but with food. If you feel really content you don't need to preach about it or try and get validation from those around you.

How do either of you know the woman's name is Sally? Yet you seem so sure of yourselves.
