Fat people forcing their habits on others I have been clean eating for some time now, and I really like it. All I did was cut off the Oreo-like cookies from my life because that's what I used to eat the most besides the ocasional burguer/hot-dog at the end of the night on weekends, it feels so much better to eat a meal that satisfies nourishes me. I have always eaten my veggies boiled and my fruits raw, no dressings, I don't like them either. And I don't drink soda, my mom raised me drinking pretty much water only so it's the only thing that kills my thirst. However, every time I go out to eat with people and I ask for a healthy meal at a restaurant, I'm criticized. They ask if I'm still anorexic (have been for three years in the past, no longer a problem), mock me saying I should "let go sometimes or I'll get depressed". It's god damn annoying because it happens all the time, I'm not even skinny, I'm just of normal weight now. When I go to my grandma's house for those dreadful family reunions I like to bring an apple or a banana to have as a snack later and it's the same situation. Why don't people just mind their own business and let others be healthy if they want? I don't mind the processed food, pleasure doesn't have to be in food. I do enjoy a good burger sometimes but I don't need it more than once a week, specially because I feel dirty after eating and then I crave my veggies. lol  When I was a pre-teen I would ask for soda on parties and events alike because people would always say I should drink something else other than water, kids or adults thinking I'm depriving myself of being happy for the sake of being healthy. When you're young you get influences from all the people around you and luckily I didn't get addicted on this like everybody else seems to be. I think this is a very toxic mentality that healthy foods are for people with ED and that you can't find them tasty, that if you cut the "tasty junk food" you're depriving yourself of happiness. I don't need food to be happy, I need food to nourish me. Of course now that I'm older I don't do things just because people say I should, however, I wish they didn't happen. Imagine if I went around policing the way people eat? I'd be called a privileged asshole who can buy whole foods while the rest of them is starving in a food desert.  It's almost they feel annoyed about the fact some people have self control or don't find it so enjoyable to stuff your face with shit until your belt is bursting open.  So, I want to know if you people go through similar experiences, specially if any of you has dealt with an ED before and people still think you're stuck in it. Edit: These people I hang out with aren't even hams yet, but they're going to be soon with this kind of mentality.
