How often are you asked...

What does everyone else say to these comments, if you're asked them at all?

I say something like "the customer service department is closed for today, but you can put your suggestions in our suggestion box... (and point to the trash can, toilet, bag or any other similar place that shows that I don't care)"

I get crap all the time from my friends that don't go to the gym. They think I eat wierd and unhealthy.. LOL.
They tell me they don't see why it is worth it.
I'll tell you what. At first I did it to look good to feel better about myself. Now I do it because I love being healthy and I love the taste of clean food.
*It doesn't hurt when you are at the beach and all my buddies keep their shirts on.. LOL.. and all their wives/girlfriends are staring at me
**For some reason people in the country tend to put down people who are capable of doing things they are not!
Keep hammering away!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I totally understand where you are coming from people say stuff to me all the time... "your getting to skinny" etc etc.. and because I am so open about my eating disorder I get comments like "are you throwing up your food again" that one hurts sometimes...

last week before my photoshoot I was REALLY nervous!!! my man picked me up from the airport and was not in the best of moods because someone just hit the ass end of his brand new car... we had to go admittly to meet the president of the company over lunch whom I was shooting for... when we got to the restuarant I was so nervous I couldn't sit. I told my man I was going to the bathroom where I paced for a good 10 minutes... when I got back to the table the first thing out of his mouth was "did you just throw up." I was so pissed I am sure if looks could kill he would be dead now.

girlie just keep doing what you are doing!! the same people that question me if I am eating, are the same people that ask me for diet advice.. I am sure the same thing will happen to you!!

Ha ha - I love it!!

Glad I'm not the only one who's heard this. I knew that people would be wierd about my "new" lifestyle but I honestly never thought I would hear a comment like that!! Geez, I eat every three hours - how could I ever possibly be anorexic?

Then I have guys at work that tell me my muscles are getting too big and they're worried I'll kick their ass. Maybe that's what I need to do to prove to them I'm not skin and bones.

I guess it's best just to ignore them. Use my energy for the gym, rather than on things that just aren't worth my time.

And that's when you tell them keep f*cking with me and I will kick your ass!

I've said that a few times here and there lol

Where I used to work, they bought cases of bottled water for the office & I prefer my water cold - so since noone else would do it (lazy asses!) I'd put the cases into the fridge when needed. Well I could carry 1 case in each hand - 2 at a time.

The men would just stand by & watch me with their jaws open.....wussies!

As of current, I am blessed to have a job in which I have my own desk, the ability to eat at my desk, a little mini-fridge next to my desk, etc. I do get teased that I have lots of food in the fridge, and one of my big drawers full of food. Not to mention, the fact that I eat it seems like ALL the time.

I was just flat out honest with my co-workers in my goals and such...they are actually fascinated about my healthy eating habits as I tell them facts about healthy living.

It doesn't help that my company makes fresh Otis Spunkmeyer cookies for our clients everyday. I finally got them to at least order the Sugar Free cookies. That way, when I smell them...I let myself "cheat" once in a blue moon.

So...vocally, my co-workers are supportive. However, they don't follow the same diet...so they bring in french fries and burgers, etc etc. Most of the time -- thinking of all the junk that is in those things makes me nauseated, but then there are some times that I think it smells yummy (but I don't give in -- yeah!).

Which brings me to something I've told myself, especially lately (a bit off the subject) -- that I will NOT marry a man that eats like crap! The man must have the same lifestyle that I have. Its hard enough and tempting enough without having the one you live with for the rest of your life not share something so big! I see my twin sister and her husband -- she is following the Fat Flush diet right now (and he is trying to), but he is always tempting her with junk food because he has the cravings...its hard.

I was thinking the same thing today when I was sitting at Cracker Barrel for my reward meal. Obviously, people in there eat like that ALL the time. And I was thinking how horrible it would be to live like that, especially now that I'm used to this way of eating. I could not wait to get out of there, for fear I would go back to eating like that. These supposed "reward" meals are opening my eyes to how much I really don't like the way I used to be.

That was one reason for my divorce. I just couldn't take being married to a man who didn't share my enthusiasm for the same things. Now, I look forward to finding someone who actually does...
