If I refuse a huge greasy pile of chips, or remark how I only eat junk takeaway food once in a blue moon, I get comments like 'Why? It's not like you need to watch your weight?' and 'You don't need to make yourself miserable - it's not like you need to diet!' It's not so much the words themselves as the disparaging tone they are said in which makes it clear they are trying to criticise any healthy diet choices I make purely because, in their eyes, I don't need to. I don't eat certain foods mostly because I don't really WANT to. I have cravings for a nice bit of bread and cheese, or some grapes, or cashew nuts (honest!) not a big greasy junk food burger (the thought makes me feel a bit ill). I figure, why eat that stuff when it's so bad for you when I'd actually get more enjoyment out of something healthier - it's stupid! And even if I do like those foods, I'm not going to eat excessive amounts of them when I'm already full just because I 'can'. And that's not even mentioning the fact that just because you stay skinny doesn't mean you should eat unhealthily - a bad diet affects so much more than your size! I always want to say to these type of people 'Do you ever think the fact I don't really want to eat that has something to DO with the fact I can afford to?' I consider myself lucky I don't have cravings for the very worst foods out there all the time, so I'm not about to develop a taste for them by forcing myself to have them 'because I can'. Have you ever had a person weighing about 3x as much as you try to coerce you into eating chocolates you don't want? It's freaking weird: 'No, I don't not want them because I'm afraid they'll make me fat, I don't want them because I just ate a meal and am FULL.' Sorry. Kind of off-topic but mostly along the same lines. I never understood people who act like this but I think the co-conspirator theory is a good one.

Or, I appreciate your concern but I would appreciate it if you wouldn't comment on my food choices. I do not comment on yours so I expect the same courtesy.
