Diet, Nutrition & Weight Loss
Ditch the toast and I'd eat it. |

Did you fall from the sky? Because you must be.... a dead bird. Seriously, you sound like a jerk. |
I love mushrooms. I love pasta. i just don't like them mixed together for some reason. So that particular dish I could pass on quite easily. |
I get you, but also this is not as simple as you think it is. My friend and I went on a low-carb diet, I ate nothing carby for a whole month. She lost 8 pounds the first week, me nothing. She lost more weight the subsequent weeks, and me nothing. We were exercising too. People said I must be lying or cheating, I'd have to lose weight considering my meal plan and my exercise, I didn't. I was devastated, so I gave up, and when I gave up, I gained 20 pounds in a month. This has always been my life story. I ate the healthiest of all my friends, but I'm the fattest. Maybe if I knew years ago that my body was that way, I wouldn't have ruined it by thinking nothing works and I'm fat and allowing more fat on. I take the stairs, I walk 5 miles a day, I don't drink juices or soda, and I eat salads (not fattening ones) almost every meal, and I'm fat. I'm healthy bloodwork wise, but I'm fat. It's not so fcking simple. And my calorie intake is not that high. |
For real. It’s all or nothing around here. Not a critical thought in sight. |
eh, I think it startled her to realize that her own eating habits were not that far off from the eating habits of those standing in line with her. There she is standing there in line to get a biscuit with a packed lunch in her hand. Reality check. |
Np here. No, she is a jerk because there she was standing in line, and calling people "fatties" in her head. That is such nasty term, I can't even. She is also a jerk because she focused on the fat people rather than the not fat people in line and put all these sins on THEM (they eat whatever they want! I am better than that!) She's a jerk because she thinks and talks like one, not because she changed her mind. |
NP. I'm sorry that you eat and exercise so well and still struggle. But surely you realize you are the exception and not the rule? I absolutely believe that there are people out there who do everything "right" and are still overweight. But, statistically speaking, if you eat well and exercise, you're going to maintain a healthy weight. |
Relax. She saw the connection between the food and the people eating it and made a better choice. God help us if we can all be tried for the thoughts that run through our minds. |

Are you deliberately being dense? She could have just said that. She had to go further and say the word "fatties ".
And by writing it out, she de-facto spoke it. So no. She's not being punished for thoughts that she had. She's being called a jerk for the things that she actually said Damn. |
She hates them so much because she is one step away from joining them. I'm overweight and I can not see myself ever standing in line with a packed lunch in my hand, so that I could order, yet, more food. She emphasizes that she was ordering a PLAIN biscuit...but really...she had already had food. Why get in line to get more food? |
Yeah. But she did not actually call those people "fatties" to their faces or make an ugly scene about their meal choices. Honestly, you can order food at McDonald's that is Keto and diet friendly. Maybe that's what some of those people were ordering. How would she know? Get an egg McMuffin w/o the muffin and cup of coffee or a sausage and egg w/o the biscuit. That wouldn't be too bad for airport travel food. It would be more Keto friendly than her PB&J as a matter of fact. |
Yeah, if you're slathering ketchup on everything you eat, morning-noon-and-night, you're not doing yourself any favors. But if you use ketchup to dip some fries, or go alongside your scrambled eggs, every now and again? You're fine. *Just like cookies are fine sometimes!* Moderation. Balance. Did I just blow your mind? |
I wish people understood and really took in what you are saying. People - especially thin people - think they have all the answers. But nobody has all the answers. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/10/health/diet-weight-loss.html |
