why yes, I am eating that...

Lowell14 · June 2014

Why is everyone around me so obsessed with what I eat now that I am getting married? I have a certain measurement I can't go over to for in my dress and I go to the gym to stay healthy.

If brides decide to lose weight, great! But the bride decided to...(I love when the overweight overweight coworker with type 2 diabetes decided to chime in on what I eat...especially after he asked to take a fry from Thursdays lunch)

Rant over

vk2204 · June 2014

I think anyone commenting on what someone should/shouldn't be eating regardless of the situation is wrong.

I was eating a cinnamon roll one time, and a coworker told me I should only eat half of it. I kind of just laughed in her face. She then walked into my boss's office and took like 5 pieces of candy. Bitch was just jealous that I had a better breakfast than her

RebeccaFlower · June 2014

I will just never understand this. I won't lie, I've judged what people eat in public but I would never dream of saying it out loud.

mrsmorales2be · June 2014

And I hope you enjoyed every bite of that cinnamon roll, because heck yeah! Who doesn't like a cinnamon roll? Some people have no internal filter either, I swear.

I hate it that people automatically think brides to be are trying to lose weight.

I think it's perfectly acceptable to call them out on their rude behavior.

JMalettas · June 2014

I def agree that it's totally rude, and some people *definitely* have an issue with brides who eat whatever. I didn't find it was the junk food I ate, but the healthy stuff. If I had a salad for lunch, someone would be like, "oh, eating healthy to be ready for the wedding!" Lol. Nope, just like salad..:|

One thing that's totally a pet peeve though, is the brides-to-be that complain about their weight, while chewing threw their second donut at work. I'm totally for eating what you want. It's not my problem. I just don't care to listen to them go on about how "fat" they think they are, and how much weight they apparently "must" lose, when they're clearly doing nothing about it..& it's clear that this is going to be the topic of conversation every time there's a new box of donuts..

People are so presumtuous. There are very few situations where it could ever be appropriate to comment on someone's food choices.

climbingsingle · June 2014

I work at a pastry manufacturer and any time I turn down a bite of cheesecake, I get, "Oh, right! You're trying to lose weight for the big day!" Ugh. STFU. Maybe I just don't want to eat cheesecake right now.

elizabetheleven · June 2014

Ugh I get the opposite.

I'm naturally very short and skinny. I have a problem putting on weight. My whole family is this way and I've had self-image issues over it.

I have 2 children and my 10yr old son is almost bigger than me. So when I tried on gowns I had to order a size 0... Then get it altered even smaller.

People assume I have an eating disorder when I don't eat a huge meal. I'm just not fucking hungry right now!! I actually eat like a pig!

No one should ever make comments about weight or eating habits. Ever!

Maggie0829 · June 2014

H's Dad is a big judge when it comes to what you eat and it irritates the hell out of me. He always comments on what H is eating and how much he is eating. I really don't know how I haven't yelled "STFU!" to him on multiple occasions. And what is funny is that my FIL is all about eating healthy but after ordering a salad for dinner he will down like 8 beers. Um, pretty sure those beers aren't all that healthy for you buddy.

A few years ago I was on prednisone for some sinus issues. It's a steroid and one of it's potential side effects is that it can alter your mood, in my case I get really angry. Another potential side effect is an insatiable hunger. I get that too. And when I say insatiable I mean I have to eat or I feel sick and get even angrier. So one day I took my lunch to work but by about 10am I couldn't take it anymore and had to eat. So I got my lunch out. A co-worker saw it at my work station and said it was too early to be eating lunch. So I explained that I was on steroids and they make me really hungry. At which point he told me I need to be careful with those. REALLY?!?!?!!? And here I thought they were candy.

Seriously, don't criticize the person who is already suffering from 'roid rage. The amount of self control I exhibited was Nobel Prize worthy.

gmcr78 · June 2014

People used to ask me if I was "trying to lose weight for the wedding", and it irritated the hell out of me. Why are my eating/dieting habits any of your business? For the record, I wasn't. Not that I don't need to lose weight, because I do, however, I knew better than to try to hit some unrealistic goal for "wedding weight".
I get irritated whenever anyone comments on anyone else's food, especially mine. What I put in my face=not your business.

VulgarGirl · June 2014

FI gets asked at her work all the time if she's trying to loose weight for the wedding. She texted me one day and said "I can't even eat a fucking salad anymore! They all wanna know if I'm dieting for the fucking wedding!!", I don't get it as much as she does but I'll get the occasional comment.

I freaked out at one person who said "Well don't you want to look pretty for your wedding?", excuse me? Are you fucking telling me there is only one way to look pretty? That I can't be pretty if I'm not skinny? First of all three tacos isn't going to magically make me gain 50lbs. Second of all, even if it did, that doesn't make me un-pretty you self righteous scum sucking bitch.

And if I mention going to the gym I get "Oh, are you trying to loose weigh for the wedding?" nope just trying to stay in shape but thanks for assuming that I need to loose weight since I already flirt with being underweight! That'll help my self-esteem.

chibiyui · June 2014

Almost every time we eat with MIL she expresses concern that I'm not eating enough. I'm like, no it's okay.I got this.

Teddy917 · June 2014

Why doesn't anyone ever ask the groom if they're getting buff/losing weight for the wedding? Doesn't the man have to look nice too?

I'm also super skinny. I absolutely cannot gain weight. My whole life people said I need to gain weight, even doctors didn't understand that I couldn't. I will out eat anyone at a buffet and can't even gain an ounce.

KatieinBkln · June 2014

People need to shut their mouths, just in general. No one wants your unsolicited opinions. No one cares that you are on a "detox" cleanse and feel amaaaaaaazing when all you eat is kale and cinnamon. I, personally, do not need to hear how cave men (who lived to be about 30 if they weren't eaten by a tiger first) used to eat. I don't care to participate in the diet/body-shaming talk that passes for female "bonding" in our culture.

Side-eye my food and I will side-eye your entire personality.

Wait, WUT. Brb guys, I have to...run an errand.

thisismynickname2 · June 2014

You know what's sad? We're questioned about "wedding diets" because there ARE historically brides that get obsessive about getting fit just for the wedding. Pictures last forever, y'all.

My old gym even ran a Bridal Boot Camp.

Not gonna lie, over my years [of Facebook stalking] I've seen not-fit women get in bad-ass shape for their weddings, then promptly let themselves go back to their original non-fit levels.

I don't get it. Your significant other fell in love with YOU just the way YOU ARE. Why change, especially if it's temporary for pictures and not a permanent lifestyle change?

While on our HM our resort had these really yummy warm donuts at breakfast. One of the last mornings I decided to have one. H got up to get more syrup so I decide to take a bite of the doughnut. As soon as I picked it up a guy at the table next to us said to his table filled with people "yea that's what she needs..a doughnut." I immediately started to cry. I was crushed. (Meanwhile he was overweight himself, balding, and missing teeth)

Sure I'm not super skinny like I was in HS (I played a bunch of sports) and I'm a little chubby but that man made me feel like I was the size of a house. Totally ruined my morning. H was pissed when he got back to the table and saw me crying.

Point is people shouldn't harp on girls getting married. Some girls are happy with the way they look. And that's all that matters.

When I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer six years ago, my mother said, "Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could lose some of that weight while you are on chemo?" Uhmmm....

I got similar comments when I developed some mysterious, irregular food regurgitation issue. Um, no thanks, I'd still rather only taste my oatmeal once.

A close friend was repeatedly complimented on her weight loss in Facebook pictures, until I said "yeah, too bad she had to get CANCER to lose it, right?" A hush fell over her page and the smartest few of the lot started falling all over themselves to backpedal. (Hell yeah, I went there. Those fuckpuppets did.)

FWIW, she's now in hospice, less than 1/3 of the weight she started at, and I'm just waiting for 'the call', as she's barely breathing and we're just waiting on her heart to give up. "So excited and proud of your weight loss" my left ass cheek.

This is one of many reasons I never comment on someone's weight loss, no more than I would comment on weight gain. You never know whether someone is sick. Just, "You look great" is enough.
