Am I being too sensitive ?

[Jacksback]

I'm in work , I be had a few snacks crisps sandwich etc and rubbish was in bin next to
Me
My new boss sits next to me , glances in the bin then says to me ' it's not good to eat too much '
I was so shocked I never even replied and he gave me a small smile and then we got on with what he had come over to discuss with me
I am overweight but now I feel like he is judging what I eat
On the one hand I’m furious and on the other embarrassed
Am I being a snowflake ?

He's being a twat regardless of how much rubbish is in there.

YANBU, he's a patronising twat. Next time have something ready to say like 'Please don't comment on what I eat, it makes me uncomfortable'.

If he persists, tell HR.

No. I’d be furious and ask him why he’s concerned as it’s none of his business. But more ‘colourfully’.

It doesn't matter whether you are overweight or not. He has no right to pass a remark like that to ANYBODY regardless of what weight they are. Twat.

If you feel hurt by it, it was wrong.

If it happens again, make sure you are ready with a reply, like M4J4 suggested.

I am normally very quick with replies and was going to say , sarcastically ,
‘ I didn’t know you were the food police ‘
But I was really taken aback so didn’t 😕

My boss did this to me once, I wasn't over weight, he checked my expenses and I'd ordered room service large pot of coffee in the morning and water/Diet Coke from the mini bar, all fine and allowable, but when he questioned what they were my mind went blank, to which he looked at me and said " it's fine if you need to eat two dinners, some people eat a lot"

🤣

@Jacksback you are being over sensitive

He shouldn’t have said anything to make you feel bad but do you mean you had sandwich and crisps as a snack? That’s lunch OP.

No sandwich was lunch and some other stuff througout day
Tbh it’s not really about what I ate , it’s motre that someone who has worked with me for a few months thinks it’s ok to comment , I would never do that
