Fuck you, salads are awesome. Eat a good salad, realize you’re an idiot, and apologize to the universe for being an idiot.
I like good salads too
Only when I make it myself. I’m picky. Also I use hot sauce as a salad dressing.
Same, and my salads are roughly 1/2 cheese by volume. No sadness there.
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.
That’s not a salad that is leaves and cheese.
The sad doesn’t come from eating the salad. The sad came long before.l
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.
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.)
Then stop asking. People are always asking why I’m skipping a meal or not eating meat.
I just like salad ok, it’s good
Everyone always asks about my diet and then they are always shocked and amazed. I work construction and stopped eating processed food as much as possible. I have the same conversation everyday. The burrito lady pulls up, and everyone stops to buy one. I walk to my truck and eat an orange and some dates, maybe some cashews. Everyone is like your not going to get a burrito, that’s crazy. We all went out to lunch the other day. Ordered a salad with grilled chicken and it blew everyone’s mind. The other superintendent was all "are you Jewish or something."I said nope I’ve just lost 30 pounds in 6 months. Then he was like “wait really? You lost 30 pounds just by changing what you eat?” I was like yep that’s all it took. Also apparently he doesn’t know what kosher food is.
Working in construction and not getting the burrito is crazy I wouldn’t be able to resist. When I used to work in construction there was a pie shop that sold warm meat pies. Everyone would go get one except this one guy who had a banana and apple. We legitimately thought he was gay just because he didnt buy a pie and energy drink every day.
Then he was like “wait really? You lost 30 pounds just by changing what you eat?” I was like yep that’s all it took.
It’s shocking how many calories are in food and how much exercise it takes just to work that off. The easiest weight to lose is the weight you don’t gain.
I’ve only ever seen this slander towards salads coming from the US, so I have to ask, are salads trash in the US?
Do people imagine eating healthily is eating only lettuce (it isn’t)?
I don’t get it
Don’t fall for the propaganda. Salad is awesome.
Also strangely funny.

My eating disorder is one of my favorite topics of conversation
Literally me:
What’s this “diet” bullshit? Salad is awesome.
Damn, now I want a nice chicken cesar.
I’ve become addicted to chicken caesar salads
These things might kills us but they sure can be tasty.
Most restaurant or premade Cesar salads are not that healthy and have just as much calories as other options. Lettuce in itself is basically just water with a small amount of nutrients so eating it does basically nothing (positive or negative), for some people it might help with satiety by giving you a full stomach feeling but personally I’d rather not chew on greens for hours like a ruminant and prefer to drink ample water alongside/after my meal for the same effect while making sure I eat plenty of vegetables for the actual good nutrients etc.
Anyway yeah these Cesars from restaurants etc are doused in sauce and have a bunch of calorie-dense ingredients so they’re not always a great choice (but fine to have as long as they fit your calorie allowance, just like anything else). Just make sure to balance your carb/fat/protein ratio and not go over the calories, but otherwise just eat whatever you want!
There’s like, 1 place that does a good cesar salad where I live but I can assure you: I do not eat them for health reasons, they’re just fucking delicious.
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.
I’m sad because I like a good salad but I have trouble making them. Damn you brain! Keeping me from being happier and healthier…

Called out, and fr
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.
Good Advice: Never make a New Year’s Resolution on the last day of the year. You know that the very next day - New Year’s - you haven’t seriously commit yourself to that bad habit you were going to break.
Meaning, hard habits are really hard to break.
