Venting Family members who mock you for what you are eat are jerks.

Shut up. You drink 10 coke zeros a week.

I absolutely hate when I hear someone say something about what I eat. It's the reason I won't eat in front of anyone anymore. And would they rather me just eat nothing and die? Cause I could do that too.

People who are like that crack me up.

I guess I somewhat fit that category but it's because I do truly care about what other people eat/drink, especially family/close friends. I do make an effort as well as my family to eat as healthy as possible, we don't drink pop, eat fast fast food or candy. We live mostly by nature and an organic lifestyle. But it's everyone's right to eat what they want, I don't "judge", but if someone is complaining to me about their physical/mental health, it is important for them to eat properly.

It is a fact that healthy eating improves both physical AND mental health, not to shame anyone here but from my personal experiences as well as seeing many others after being in the health community for healthy eating/living it drastically changed your life for the better by eating healthier.

When I stopped completely drinking pop/fast food/candy, I felt more energetic, a stronger mind, I "felt" healthier. Sugar makes us all a slave and when you finally can overcome it there is a difference you can see in reality for those who are still trapped. I'm not shaming/attacking anyone for indulging, but there is so much corruption and lies about sugar as it so relatively new to our society and so dangerous to our community. I hate sugar because the people who are behind it have ruined so many lives and lied to the people who want help who cannot seek it since nobody is pointing to the cause of their suffering.

I know it's a bit of a rant, and people shouldn't judge you for how you live, but for me, it saddens me to see people hurting themselves in such a way (when they aren't even depressed or suicidal). I at least try to follow what I preach and only do it in concern of others after learning of how important healthy eating is but I respect their decision but sigh when they complain of physical/mental issues shortly thereafter because the first step to improving both does stem from what we eat, healthy in, healthy out, y'know?

My mother is the same way. She's basically pissed at the fact that I've lost so much weight these past few months and she can't. "Oh, you are gonna eat that? That's not good for you." "That can't be good for your body, you are gonna gain weight." Or the fact that she's mad I can eat heart attack causing foods and still lose weight, while she went to Mexico to get weight loss surgery and screwed it all up thinking she could just eat whatever she wants.

I'm not doubting the whole hypocrisy, but my entire family live for health foods, including me, so I try to preachwhat I say. I also wholly beleive in the eat healthy live healthy lifestyle. Good food brings good physical and mental wellness and growth. But everyone has the right to choose what they eat without fear of shame.

I'm so glad someone said this. I actually have to accept the food people offer me now, only to hide it in a tupperware thing i keep in my bag so I can chug it in the bin on my way home. Why does everyone pretend to care about me?

Some people aren't pretending.

I've always had a bad relationship with food, mainly because of a control freak mother who always went after me for being overweight. She still tries but I shut her down. When she asks now what I'm eating, I tell her I order a large pizza every night and eat it all in one sitting. I haven't had pizza in a long time, but that's what I tell her every time she asks. I already told her that if she comments on my weight in any way, I will hang up on her.

I will not stand for this Coke Zero hate. On the plus side, you can eat whatever you want and I won't say a thing.
