What do you say to people who talk **** about your cut?

When I bring up that I'm on a diet (usually after saying "no thanks" to their offer of food multiple times), they'll give pretty discouraging responses like:

- "Nobody has to know, just have some"
- "Dude that's really unhealthy, you sound bulimic"
- "Whatever, if you think that's right for your body"
- "It's not gonna make a difference if you have it just this time"

My ex even used to get pouty like I was literally hurting her feelings for not indulging.

Then they'll often try to taunt me into caving.

What do you say to get them to shut up?

A) These people know nothing about nutrition

B) They're projecting their insecurities about their own chit eating habits and out of shape body onto you (very probable)

C) Probably A and B

D) Genuine concern (maybe if you family is mentioning this, but still goes back to A)

Agree with your psychological assessment, it's most often people who have poor eating habits themselves. I think that's why it pisses me off in the first place.

Sounds like they think they can peer pressure you into doing chit
You need to be more alpha opie
Next time they keep at it knock the plate out of their hands, shove their face in the food, all while yelling “yeah, fukken water”
Then do a 360 and get outta there.

I have this theory. Bear with me because it's groundbreaking and I'd like your opinion, as an intelligent person, on it. What if, just what if, among almost 8 billion human beings, there are differences. You know? Is it not possible that different people are motivated by and get enjoyment out of different things?

TLDR: Just troll them, OP.

I noticed most of these types won’t change their minds no matter what you say. So I’d just smile and look at my phone to signal the “stfu talking to me”.

They’ve been watching dr oz so they know what they’re talking about. (Not srs)
This body holding me, be my reminder here that I am not alone.

Yeah I was wondering if I'm being too passive in my responses, not trying to sound butthurt about it though you know? Caring about an extra 100-200 calories feels a bit autistic already.

People can do whatever the **** they want, I'm not trying to get them to change their habits. I feel like this is a case of them not accepting your theory, not me. Please lmk if you have good ideas for trolling though.

Yes and no man. We do what we do for ourselves, people trying to convince us to do what they do to make themselves feel better is bs.
Ex: I’ve never smoked weed or anything. Had a buddy say “I’m gonna get you to smoke.” I said no you aren’t. He reiterated and I told him “No, you fukking aren’t.” And that put an end to it.
I always joked that the only thing anyone can peer pressure me into is doing a burnout or racing someone lol.
We all have our lines. Don’t let others make you uncomfortable in your journey.

Legit only people who are below average in every facet of life will do this

Have only ever had a few friends jokingly do chit like this in uni when I'd rarely be cutting to get rid of dat der alc bloat..but I'm too aesthetic regardless of being bloated or not to give 2 chits or get 2 chits about it, tbfh...

Never felt the need to tell people when I was dieting. If anyone offered me food a simple no thank and end of conversation.
