advice
I've been trying to loose some weight. I know i'm not fat, but i'd just like to loose a few pounds. I started last week, and it went pretty well, but i've decided that this week i'm just not going to diet but start up again next week. I know i shouldn't but i have my reasons. But ever since i've been on this diet, all my friends ever do is hound me about it and make fun of me! they always steal my food and count the calories in it, and everytime i tell them to just stop getting involved with this, they tell me to just listen... they laugh at me and count my calories and tell me how fat i'm gunna get, and it's really really annoying and being on a diet is difficult enough since i have a terrible sweet tooth, but they make it worse. I've tried many times to tell them that it's not their place to hound me about what i'm eating, but they don't listen to me and make a big deal out of everything. I have no idea what to do and they're making this really difficult for me. any ideas what to do? sorry it's so long.
Although your friends are being insensitive jerks, you probably voice your insecurity a little too much.
Before you go on a diet for no reason, I suggest you better yourself on the inside. You're young. You can eat what you want. When you're older, you're going to miss that.
You can still watch what you eat. Learn to cook or bake. That way, you can have control of what you consume. There are many amazing desert recipes on the net that are easy to make and are low in fat.
In regards to your reply, your reason was that you wanted to lose a few pounds and it was purely out of choice. I gave you some good advice.
About your friends, you need to address them directly and if they continue being insensitive about it, you can either find new friends who are considerate and understanding or you can have a 'special' spot for the foods you eat, so no one can get their grubby hands on it. Perhaps not eating when they are around, but going to a different room might make them get the point that it bothers you.
