However, the crazy, incredibly fat-filled milkshake sounds delish.

I seriously am hurt when people make remarks like that, especially when youre trying to make a step forward and they ignorantly splurt out "facts". I cannot tell you how many times people will make remarks about eating disorders about me to my face or just without thinking about a stranger walking by, its amazing how much it can affect us.Alyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369594823770917283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470982966139816505.post-28305579099055227522008-09-06T14:14:00.000-04:002008-09-06T14:14:00.000-04:00I hate when people make those comments too.

What a great opportunity you have a food server to make clear that your own thoughts will never be true for everyone. When we respond to what's true for us we have a chance to educate. The world can accept it or not but at least it’s out there. Most importantly, our confidence grows when we are able to express our needs out loud. It enforces what works for us. And isn’t it fun to see that perplexed look on someone’s face when they realize, “gee, I never thought of that”.

Um? Technically I'm supposed to be having a milkshake with lunch every day, but I'll watch out for the scary water, thanks for the tip. I pointed out that those drinks have significantly less calories than cokes and other energy drinks, but that wasn't really the point. The point is that people assume it's ok to tell other people what they should/shouldn't be putting into their bodies. <BR/><BR/>I like your strategy of responding with how many slices of pie it would take to fill what you NEED in a day, I will have to use that next time! I think that in our society we don't ever have to think of a "need" for food, there's plenty of it everywhere, so views of it have evolved and it's now framed more as an enemy than a true physical requirement.Cammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181004571609998125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470982966139816505.post-65450858823296550062008-08-31T09:33:00.000-04:002008-08-31T09:33:00.000-04:00Calories have become common conversation, whether ...Calories have become common conversation, whether good, bad or insignificantly. It seems to be part of what grew out of the internet culture and (your) generation (no offense:) ... where people update their status for the world on a 24/7 basis. Everything is a fair topic for mixed company, the worldwide web, and anyone watching or listening. Because there is such a media glut (and by that, I mean words, pictures, sound, video, computers, phones, ipods, print mags and papers) ... because of its "disposability," I don't think people consider anymore whether something is appropriate, private, controversial, rude, sensitive, none of their business. They just say it in what is an ongoing stream of stuff. It's kinda too bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
