Does anyone else experience people apologising for eating in front of you? I know they are only being nice but it is soooo annoying. I have also has people saying they feel guilty for eating in front of me! :mad:
I just give the same reply 'Don't worry about it. I am going to be doing this for a while so you may as well get used to it!'
Does it annoy anyone else or is it just me being a horrible person?!
 
Can't say I've had this problem to be honest! Prob just their way of trying to support you, I'm sure it will stop after a bit wen everyone is used to it. X
 
I get it a lot at work, in a way I think its nice, theyre actually bothered about my feelings :)
 
I actually get the opposite! The people at work talk about food and joke about it around me and say things like "aww im starving, what about you?"!! However much they try to wind me up i just brush it off! They don't mean any harm and think its a joke but im just like w.e!!
 
Yeah, I get it quite a lot. Although now, I mainly get it from people who aren't used to eating in front of me regularly and it always makes me feel bad that they feel guilty for eating in front of me. People who are around me all the time, they are so used to it that they are just used to me not eating and used to eating around me. The longer you are on it, the more they will forget about it, it becomes normality.
 
I have a friend who says it to me every single time he eats in front of me. At first I didn't mind, but it has become annoying now. I keep informing him that I live in a house full of people who eat and it doesn't bother me. I actually enjoy watching people eat "naughty" foods. Makse me happy that i'm not the one eating it! That's probably wrong/mean. :/

Me to me to! Prime example... Someone posted a pic of a munchie box on FB this evening and I took one look at the pure, unadulterated grease, saturated fat in a box and felt a bit smug nursing my shake thinking glad that's not going into my stomach. I felt repulsed that I used to eat it myself.

Seems that everyone feels the same!! Im guessing thats good because when we then go and maintain we won't eat all the rubbish stuff!!
