[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The excuse used by my coworkers is food allergies.  They say they cannot eat a lot of food.  I actually believe it until on woman made a comment that after eating an almost normal portion of food that she would have to skip dinner so she did not get fat (she is severely underweight).  This is why people do not believe those with true allergies. I find this more offensive then using vegan as an excuse for limited eating.  [/quote]

THank you. I have true food allergies and swear people don't believe it. I end up eating whatever on the menu doesn't look like it will contain allergens. That said, I am not at all underweight. Fun fact: I maintain my weight without thinking about it simply by avoiding the foods i'm allergic to and then suffering the allergic reaction when a restaurant exposes me to them.

It's also given me a deep respect for those who suffer disordered eating. I eat "disordered" sometimes because of a medical condition and it drives me crazy/I hate it. I would hate it even more if it was my mind rather than my body driving this !@#$. [/quote]
