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.
What’s this “diet” bullshit? Salad is awesome.
Damn, now I want a nice chicken cesar.
I’ve become addicted to chicken caesar salads
Don’t fall for the propaganda. Salad is awesome.
Also strangely funny.

For health reasons, a year or two ago I had to cut hard on carbohydrates and so, amongst other things, started eating a lot more salad so I invested a lot of time and effort (and experimentation) into figuring out nice ways of doing salad.
Let’s just say that it’s perfectly possible to do very tasty salads, even without using sauces (which is seldom a healthy way of doing it) and, further, you can make quite a number of different varieties of tasty salads if you’re willing to go a bit further out in your choice of ingredients than lettuce and tomato.
Good thing, too, because otherwise my diet nowadays would’ve been horribly bland.
I hate bread now, it’s like rice and pasta. Just filler, it tastes good but it’s just the worst.
I just like salad ok, it’s good
Then stop asking. People are always asking why I’m skipping a meal or not eating meat.
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.
That’s not a salad that is leaves and cheese.
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.
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.
The sad doesn’t come from eating the salad. The sad came long before.l
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.
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.)
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…
Not true I like talking about diet specifics
My eating disorder is one of my favorite topics of conversation
Literally me:
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 assume you mean my pile of bologna.
Oh, have you not heard of keto!?
