To think that at a buffet you can take as much as you want

[Edenviolet]

Went out today with dsis. We were starving by lunchtime and there was a huge buffet where we went (hotel), it was included in the price so we took loads as were hungry.
Noticed a couple of women really staring as we loaded our plates up and also when we took lots of the mini desserts and as we walked past one loudly said " I can't believe they are actually going to eat all that"
They kept staring at us and giving us funny looks.

Made me wonder if we really did take too much, surely as we had paid and were hungry it was ok ? I felt a bit judged as they clearly thought we were greedy

It does sound like a lot of food, and I'm a fatty.

BUT. The OP has an incredibly difficult life, as I'm sure that many of us know from previous threads. This would be a very rare outing for her, and I hope she bloody well enjoyed it in spite of other people sticking their noses in.

Bodies change - Hedgehog just kept insisting she will always stay that shape. You can't make assumptions

But you are. Why cant she make assumptions that she will stay the same (presumably she doesnt eat that way every day) but you can make assumptions that she wont?

Does it really matter to you if the op does or doesn't gain weight? She eats healthily most of the time so her health isn't a worry.

OP did invite sticking of noses in

Don't post on AIBU if you don't want anybody's nose sticking in

OP didn't ask the people at the buffet to comment on her eating habits.

You have to expect comments when posting on AIBU

Obviously but not such spiteful ones. Totally unnecessary.

Just AIBU and it's usual gang of hatchet faced little bullies though isn't it?

MNHQ allows it not that it makes it right of course

Maybe they need to add it in to their talk guidellines????

Or maybe you could just try to regulate yourself instead of depending on forum guidelines to keep you on the straight and narrow?

Yes, on the question asked, not about her weight or whether she will get fat as she ages! YOU started that particular conversation despite the fact that it had no bearing whatsoever on the OPs question.

What would have been said if she was 15 stone I wonder?!

this topic does canvass opinions

Yes, great, is that what you do?

Well I try not to be spiteful, yes.

Just found a post where you called someone a "right dick" Nicki

They probably were being. Not necessarily spiteful though or can't you tell the difference? That would explain a lot actually......

I feel quite flattered that you did a search on me though

Sooooo, I still want to know how many plates you actually had!

Some people on here really think they're the thread police, don't they?

When I was a kid I was constantly being told "Keep your eyes on your own plate" - ie what other people eat is no business of yours. WIsh that were still a thing.

Name calling allowed but not spitefulness?

Name calling can be spiteful

Exactly MyFairyking - sums it up nicely!|!

Spite by FAR worse. That is a personality trait. Surprised you're trying to defend it tbh.

what other people eat is no business of yours

hedgehog chose to post about her eating habits and provide an extensive list of what she consumed at the buffet

Are you defending name calling? Because that is really spiteful. I am surprised you are trying to defend it

You're a light weight OP! You should have had more.

I can't see where I am defending it tbh. Can you quote me?
