    Then stop asking. People are always asking why I’m skipping a meal or not eating meat.

    Presumably people who care about you as a person care about what you’re up to with your life, but maybe the author of this hasn’t experienced that.

    I have to hide at work during lunch or just don’t eat because everyone comments on my salads or small, well portioned healthy meals. They always talk about my weight (“so skinny!!!”) and my food and use me as a catalyst to complain about their own weights. Its very uncomfortable. Those kinds of people always loved these kinds of memes.

      Fuck those people. They’re your coworkers not your Grammy. If you can, tell them to stop or ask someone you trust to. If they don’t stop that’s harassment even if covered in humor or followed by self depreciation. They’re like the people that bitch about “ethnic food” smells but everyone has to be quiet when they peel open their Tupperware and the room smells like a brussels sprouts asshole.

    Fuck you, salads are awesome. Eat a good salad, realize you’re an idiot, and apologize to the universe for being an idiot.

      Bad salads are sad though.

      Imagine, 50/50 iceberg lettuce and ranch.

        Make it bleu cheese and we have a deal, but it has to come with an okay steak.

          Deal, the salad is now 50/50 Bleu cheese and ranch. I hope you brought a spoon. There is no steak though, only sadness.

            Thankfully the lack of steak qualifies as breach of contract so I can avoid eating that and go have a heart attack at Buffalo Wild Wings. As God intended.

          Same, and my salads are roughly 1/2 cheese by volume. No sadness there.

      The sad doesn’t come from eating the salad. The sad came long before.l

    In a time of crisis where 75% of US adults are overweight or obese, it actually is a good thing that we talk to people in our lives about things we’re doing to lose weight, as long as that’s being used as a positive example and not a way to act superior. (Also, if eating salads makes you sad, you’re doing salad wrong; iceberg lettuce with a few croutons and dressing is a salad in the same way that unseasoned broth with noodles and nothing else is soup.)

    LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT HOW CARBS ARE BAD FOR YOU THO

    I am truly, truly sorry to every person who ever said to me “hey man you lost some weight what you doin keto?” And I didn’t just say “yeah basically” and let it end there. I just… I’m really, really excited about it.

    That’s the best part about working out at home. Nobody silently judges you for your apparently short term New Year’s resolution in January.
