But I only eat them a few times a year.

All the women I work with are overweight or obese. Once I had one ask me why I wouldn't have the donut. I just politely declined. She told me "I know you're slim but you're probably skinny fat so you might as well est the donut.". I didn't bother responding bc I was shocked. I also am not skinny fat. My metabolic health is very good and my waist is a lot smaller than my hips. I do think there is a certain amount of judgment and maybe envy.

Agree. Middle aged women overweight/obese women are the worst. Especially if you don’t want to partake in the office junk food. They notice and comment. I never comment on what they eat- but they are always quick to make passive aggressive comments about what I do or don’t eat

I am not a talkative person and am quite introverted. I mind my own business 99.9% of the time and simply go about doing my work. The only thing I can think of is that they're angry at the fact that I'm very fit. You can absolutely tell. When I wear a short sleeved shirt you can see all of my vascularity, and for lack for better terms - my shredded arms. I am very trim and have nice shapely legs and a sculpted derriere because I do tons of leg workouts. My body fat % is below 13%.

Is it just a thing this day in age to discriminate against fit people given that the majority of adults and coworkers are now overweight or obese? Half of it too could be the negative mindset and low self-esteem many people have that has reuslted in their obesity in the first place, which they try to dump onto other people around them.

Fit shaming at work feels like it is getting more and more out of hand as the population gets more overweight.

If you work with a bunch of 50yo+ white women then yes, possibly.
