People hate others dieting Anonymous
Something that's pissed me off ever since starting my diet: Other people's reactions.

In the office, people bring in cake for birthdays and such, and offer me some. And I refuse because I'm on a diet. And then they go "C'mon, it's only a single piece, it'll be OK!" and I tell them that if I eat cake I can't eat lunch today, and they say "One day off your diet won't hurt!" and I say that actually, it will. Then they start trying to convince me because it's birthday cake, and I'll hurt the birthdayfag's feelings if I don't STUFF MY FACE WITH CARBS AND FATS.

It's not just cake... It's people bringing in snacks, and people going out for lunch. People telling me my lunch isn't substantial enough... One lady went out and bought me a beef wrap with salad and cheese and dressing and shit because "You're not eating enough!" Then she got all shitty when I didn't eat it and I ended up feeling bad.

I think I know why people try to make dieter break their diets: They hate others dieting. They feel bad because they think they should lose weight (It always seems to be women, in my experience, and they always seem to want to lose weight whether they need to or not). So they subconciously try to stop *you* from losing weight. They don't want to feel bad. They don't want you to be hotter then them (Gay guys do it to me as well). People *HATE* others dieting.

What do the /fit/gots think?

I got the same shit when I decided I want to stop being stick thin. I think that supportive people are hard to come by. THey would rather we all have horrible flaws about ourselves and are incapable of being better people. I don't think they do this consciously though, I think it's a subconscious thing. They are still good people.

youre an asshole for not eating what that lady bought you. i would have at least acted like i was eating it and barfed it out later.

plus how fat are you to not be eating a salad? fat piece of shit

With social events like birthday parties or family dinners at Thanksgiving etc, I find it's okay to cave in. It's better for social health, and you can always just start again.

Now, if your office is one of "those" offices that find an excuse to have birthday cake every two weeks, well then fuck them. Stick to your guns man

yeah i've gotten the same thing, or people telling me my meal is boring/unhealthy. fuck them.

You won't find any support here, most /fit/igans set aside "cheat days" once a week.

Myself, I am young and have high metabolism. Therefore, I eat what is in the fridge/on the shelves at my house and I don't think about it too much. I try to eat high in protein low in fat/carbs, but I don't every have cravings or anything because I eat what I want when I want. I'm pretty fit and I'm happy.

"It's better for social health, and you can always just start again."

Yes, always be appreciative. Smile and say 'thank you' and eat the damn birthday cake, or push most of it around on your plate w/everybody else at the "party" and then flush the rest down the toilet when you can. Or count it as your cheat meal. Or push your lunch back 'til early afternoon. All sorts of ways to manage this without being a jerk or making a fuss. Just don't get seconds.

If you're seriously that worried about 200 calories in the midldle of the day, maybe you're undereating?

WTF? Learn to read. Beef wrap with salad and cheese and dressing. Not just a salad by itself. And I'm not going to binge then purge to make an interfering co-worker feel better. I thanked her, that should've been enough. I was greatful she thought of me, but not greatful she made a care decision about me when she's neither my partner nor my mother, and I'm an adult. She's rude for presuming she knows better then me, no matter how caring her motivation was.

>>389640
Yeah, this was one of those "OMFG, it's thursday! Lets all have cake." offices.

>>389651
The thing is, I have a cheat day once a week. It's on a weekend so I can eat out with my boyfriend and enjoy some well cooked restaurant food. I don't really want to *not* have a cheat day with him so I can eat crappy cake with my co-workers.

Also, while it must be wonderful to have that metabolism... Obviously I don't, and neither do alot of other people. It's kinda irrelivant to the thread, too, unless you're trying to troll.

These are monstercakes... They're *loaded* with buttercream, jam, sugar... And there'll be chips and soft drink and all that other crap. Several times a week.

I'm always nice, and thankful, but people don't accept that, they have to *push*.

Exercise alone isn't a magic cure... Burning calories takes ALOT of effort, and I'd rather just not consume them. I already do at least 45 minutes of cardio/free weights a day, I don't want to add more because my co-workers can't take "No" for an answer.

Also, if I should do more exercise... Then wouldn't this be the *right* board for me? Why tell me to get out? Angry and defensive anon is angry and defensive.

Piece of cake is going to be (at most) 600 calories. You're probably eating about 2000 a day even on your diet. Just treat it like a meal, who cares if it fills you up or not, it's still food and it still has energy.

Or, just tell them you've got diabetes or are lactose intolerant or a celiac. Truth is I'm just as vain as you are, only I don't eat cake now because I'm out of shape but because it flairs up my acne. Give them a medical reason and they'll never bother you again, plus they'll still feel sorry for you which is obviously what you're going for here.

okay if you're eating healthy don't call it a diet! Really if you're really dieting then you're setting yourself up for failure.

3 hours a day doing something is what i'd recommend.

Also if you don't want to eat cake just say something like "i'm already full" "i already ate some earlier today" "i don't like this ingredient" that should take care of it and it's more socially acceptable for the fat fucks than saying "i can't eat your shitty fattening cake i'm on diet"

sounds to me you are convincing yourself you shouldn't eat that cake..i agree you shouldn't but don't go flashing that i diet stick to everyone..it's sweeter when they notice on their own then you can tell when they say "you have lost weight" then you fucking tell how you did it with a wide smirk on your face.

PROTIP: REPOST OF A REPOST IS A REPOST

OP here. Not a woman. Also not "Blah blah blah I'm on a diet blah".

I went on my diet and didn't tell anyone till people started asking because I was visibly smaller, or I refused cake and they started grilling me on why I wouldn't eat it.

Yeah, it's just one slice of cake... That'll make today that much less effective in terms of weightloss. It's cumulative... Each slice of cake slows my loss, and all it achieves is my co-workers being satisfied they made someone eat cake. It's weird that they care so much and I'm not going to eat just to be polite, fuck that shit.

I've lost over 35 pounds so far. Not eating cake is one of the ways I've achieved that. Yeah, I'm fat 'cause I ate too much, no-one made me. But why should I put up with people trying, subconciously or not, to stop me losing it again? I'm trying to reduce empty calories for a reason, randomly going "Oh, it won't matter if I have one slice of cake" would defeat the point.

As for "Don't diet, exercise instead", it can take ALOT of time to burn off a single piece of cake. I'm already exercising, I do aerobic exercises 4 days a week and flexibility/core strength stuff three days a week, usually for 30 minutes at a time. I don't see why I should extend that to an hour or more to make my co-workers feel better about their gorging on cake every second day.

here is some story from mah life. it happened back in mah teen days when all my friends started to drink alchohol. at first i was like "fuck it guys, i am not a depressed faggot i dont need alchohol" but it drove them away from me socially, so i thought "gee i need to do something about it" so i pretended to drink with them, like get a beer but do only a few sips then silently dispose it and etc. and when everyone was " yarr we are drunk" i was " hurr ima drank too, lets do something stupid" . i managed to pull stuff like that for years and now most of my school friends think i am an alchoholic. and when if i meet them and they are like " hey lets grab a beer" and i am like " nah dude, i drank so much yesterday, i feel like shit, i am not gona drink anything today" and they are like "ok dude keep it up like that its good for you". the irony makes me lol everytime i think bout it.

Dude, really? You don't need to rack up the amount of calories the cake gave you at the gym to burn it! Get more hardcore at the gym, your metabolism will speed up as a result and you'll bun more after you leave. Shit, eat more every once in a while, go fucking nuts on the cake; can't let that metabolism slow down!

This thread was too long and boring to completely read, but OP you are a social moron. Take the cake, go 'Mmm!' walk back to your desk, and then toss it.

I don't know how many calories are in a piece of cake typically, but it's got to be 500 or more. That's 500 calories I would much rather have as a 8 ounces of steak, or something calorie-wise equal, but better tasting and better for you.

My sister makes awesome frosting for her homemade cakes - and a few years ago I was Atkin's low carbing. I told myself just one bite, then I promptly ate the whole thing, then another, and I think another. I attempted to throw it up, but I can't for the life of me force myself to - I really tried hard. I just ended up shrugging it off, bouncing out of ketosis for 24 hours, and moving on.

OP, your situation is easier. Take the cake to your desk and ninja-style toss it out.

Everyone on 4chan is just a trawl. I get along with everyone in my office. It doesn't necessarily mean I like them however. For instance, my boss is an incompetent boor, but he respects my diet.

In fact, most people in the office respect it, in fact they start talking about how they need to eat better and exercise themselves, while cramming a mouthful of pasty down their gullet.

Everyone claiming OP should just exercise more... He already exercises. Learn to read.

So what if he could just double his efforts one day? Why bow down to social pressure and eat some shitty cake and have to burn it off later, instead of just saying "No thank you" and not having to burn it off? Prevention is better then cure.

It's called having social grace. Take the cake when offered and ditch it. They'll be happy because you accepted their offer. You'll be happy because you didn't eat it. Everyone will be in good spirit instead of making a giant fuss about OH NOES U R RUINING MY DIET!!!1 and putting everyone in poor spirit.

Unless you are Michael Phelps training for the olympics, claiming that even one bite of cake is going to turn you into a gigantic whale is rediculous.
