Oops they said it again

Whilst out in a restaurant,someone who should know better said why you are bothered about what you eat?

Hello why don't they keep their thoughts to themselves.

Yes I'm in holiday ,but as they eat then drink themselves into oblivion.

I have spent the last 5 weeks trying to sort myself out.

Yes I'm on holiday and yes I am eating healthier and having the odd treat .

The people who should know the best should know better.

Rant over ,and that is a long one for me .

They are probably feeling guilty themselves. If we all are mindfully then we would have no need to be guilty and probably not so fat either. Keep doing what feels right to you.

Don't blame you. Hope it doesn't spoil your holiday. Stay strong and tell them you enjoy running and eating healthily it makes you feel better - suggest they give it a try instead of nagging at you!

They definitely sound jealous and probably ashamed of/embarrassed/angry with themselves. They're taking out their feelings about themselves on you.

In a really backward way it's almost a compliment :D

Good on you for saying something to them though. You shouldn't have to take that sort of treatment from family or friends.

Tell them it's the new you and if they don't like it then it's their loss. Then go for a run and let them stew on it for a while. :D

Well done for sticking to what matters to you, I don't know why some people always feel the need for us all to be sheep....... My daughter has never liked the taste of alcohol it's taken her friends nearly 10yrs to accept that she doesn't drink because she dislikes the taste - funnily enough they are more than happy for her to be the driver every time they go out.....! Enjoy the rest of your holiday and stick with your plan you are doing great :D

Good on you, stick to what you know you need and want for yourself! I am also apprehensive about going back home for the holidays - because I know that on top of the usual holiday treats in abundance, there will be comments like this one by well-meaning loved ones.

Well intentioned or not, it's not helpful - particularly when you've worked hard for five weeks to create new habits/minset. Keep true to yourself!

gman1961Restart April 2023 in reply to mistymtnhop333

I'll be glad to get home if this carries on .

I talked about my efforts in losing weight to them .I shouldn't have to explain.

Hey Gary I find it amusing when people say things like that to me. I act all curious about what they've said and show them that I find it hard to understand why they're so obsessed with what I'm eating, when I hardly notice what they're eating and would NEVER dream of being so rude as to judge and pass comments 😁 ha! It's jealousy and you're really bugging them! ENJOY!!!!

Good for you...great willpower. It's hard sometimes when people do this... I knocked back the offer of a much lusted after Chinese takeaway last week..hard but glad I did it. Eat on your terms and not everyone else's.
