This is one thing I've never understood. I've been on this weight loss roller coaster since I was 12 years old. I'm now 27. And when I'm in my "weight loss phase" - and I'm actually WATCHING what I eat, and I'm EXERCISING - and doing what a normal human being SHOULD do in order to take care of their body - I've gotten the "hahaha, she's on a diet she can't eat that....
However, then there's those times - especially if you are overweight and you're out in a social (or even sometimes private) setting - and you ARE eating "whatever" you want - then people go - "oh my god, you're not going to eat THAT are you?"...
seriously - when it comes to weight loss and being "fat" or "thin" - it's a double edge sword - you're dam*ed if you do AND if you don't...
