So I lost around 70lbs give or take last year. (Still technically 15-20lbs overweight) Now everyone is so WIERD with their food choices they make around me. Not everyone knows I used to be bigger so now I’m wondering if this is normal for people who’ve always been skinny.
I don’t do strict diets. When I’m in social environments I usually over indulge(balance) because my typical work week I don’t usually have time to eat outside my meal prep.
I’ve never been a sweets/candy person. At my new job everyone eats candy all day long. Even when I was bigger, I didn’t eat candy. My coworkers will say things like “im so fat, I need to stop” or “you eat like a bird, im probably not even gonna eat lunch today” like always self deprecating comments about their food when I’m around. I’ve never judged people for what they eat bc I couldn’t care less but it’s an every day thing! Or for lunch if I eat 3 tacos at work with a diet soda and all my coworkers get 4. They will constantly make comments about how they’re so “fat and need to stop it”
When it comes to friends and family, it’s the same thing. If we go out to eat and I don’t finish my meal, they will make comments about how they’re so feel bad that they finished theirs. There was a time this was so bothersome to me that I would over eat just so others felt comfortable eating around me and I would be so bloated for days. But it didn’t stop people self deprecating constantly.
Im at a point in my life where im done overeating to make others feel comfortable bc it clearly doesn’t work. I just wish people would stop. Every snack or meal they eat they need to explain to me why they’re eating it. It’s exhausting! Eat what you want, I don’t care. Is this normal for people that have always been skinny?
