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.
