Pissed off with colleagues comment about my food?

[LuxeLisbon]

Friday and colleagues decide to go buy breakfast from the canteen, ask if I want to go, I say no thanks I’m just going to have my shake.

Colleague replies “mmm nutritious”

Yes much more nutritious than the giant breakfast cob you’re going to stuff in your mouth.

I like a protein shake after the gym, I still eat 3 good meals each day.

Ignore, ignore, ignore.

Non issue

A shake isn’t nutritious though? No matter what you believe about protein shakes....

It wouldn't bother me to be honest.

I agree it’s a non issue

And...?

Eat wtf you want, ignore all others. It may not be healthy but everyone must die sometime irrespective of eating habits

Colleague obviously thought you were being a bit holier than thou. A protein shake sounds quite healthy actually. Would Slimming World approve?

Water off a ducks back. Don't let it bother you.

Whatever.

A. It was just a jokey throwaway comment. Not a personal slur

B. They're right.

Obviously you feel very strongly about your shake but I think you should unclench.

Are you still pissed off now after a throwaway comment this morning? Crikey!

I honestly don't get why people have those things. Why not just have some food?

Are you getting enough carbs? Because you sound angry.

genuine carb rage sufferer here

Seriously though, that is a non issue.
You come up against all sorts of weird attitudes when you are trying to live healthily. Ignore, ignore, and carry on.

Crikey - are you usually so easily annoyed?
Perhaps you are hangry and need a more substantial breakfast. 😂

Well I’m more annoyed because it’s been the odd comment like this all the time.

She’s a lot bigger than me, which is irrelevant but she has made no secret of the fact she wants to lose weight. I’d never dream of commenting on her food choices.

She's probably jealous that you're making healthier food choices than her. Ignore.

honestly don't get why people have those things. Why not just have some food?

I do eat food. But I like to have a shake after a workout. I go to the gym at 6am. It helps me hit my macros and my muscles recover faster.

I still have a breakfast.

I think a "no thank you but have a nice time" would have sufficed. Maybe you're mentioning them more than you think and it's pissing her off? Some of this attitude you have towards her is definitely going to be coming across even if you dont intend it to.

no thank you but have a nice time

A nice time in the work place canteen for a breakfast they will then eat at their desks ..

What you have for breakfast is non of her business. Work colleagues should keep those sort of comments to themselves. It isn't the biggest issue you will ever face, and I wouldn't make a fuss about it, but you are justified in being annoyed by it.

You'd need counselling if you worked at my place 😂

It helps me hit my macros. Hit your whats?

Stealth boast

Yes much more nutritious than the giant breakfast cob you’re going to stuff in your mouth.

Yeah, because that's not a judgemental statement at all

Life's too fucking short to worry about shit like this.
