OK, you're on a diet. WE GET IT. We don't need a calorie breakdown...

[JackReacher]

A friend does the same thing with her workouts. AND her food choices. Twenty posts a day, and every one is about what she's eating and where she's running next.

It won't be long until she posts monthly stool results from the Romanowski lab.

So unfollow her. Simple.

Some friends you can't unfollow.

 

[JackReacher]

Why?

 

[Riptide]

Why?

Close friend. I do like her. She's just going through the obsession phase.

 

[HanSenSE]

Hate to say it, but we all know it could be worse ... they could be on Atkins!

 

[Precious Roy]

Why?

Close friend. I do like her. She's just going through the obsession phase.

Just choose to hide her posts, it's what I do with my sister-in-law so I don't have to listen to her crap anymore and she won't be offended.

 

[LongTimeListener]

I have a friend who posts just about every workout and plenty on the food side too. But most of them come with pics of bike shorts/sports bra combo or, when she's traveling, very cleavage-heavy photos in what appear to be very cold climates.

So it's not all bad.

My sister-in-law is a fat *****, so I don't get that side bonus.
Enjoy the spoils of war

So your sister-in-law is Kate Upton?

 

[Riptide]

I ****ing love the Diet Coke rationale.

 

[Starman]

About as bad as people who eat ****ty food and have a diet drink. I worked at a Sbarro during my high school years. ***** gets a 6,000-calorie slice of double-stuffed deep dish whatever and a Diet Coke. Because she's watching calories. What the hell is the point?

Well, I don't give a **** unless she broadcasts to the whole world about how she's cutting calories with the diet pop.

Constantly foghorning to the whole world about your diet (or a gazillion times worse, commenting upon others') is mainly just a piece of performance art pageantry designed to broadcast your own imagined nutritional superiority.

 

[Dick Whitman]

Facebook photos of people's food.

Yeah, that's what it's all about.

Riptide and I are finally in agreement. It was bound to happen.

It drives me absolutely bonkers when people post photos of their meals on Facebook. Why? Why???

So basically this thread is performance art pageantry on your part?

You did the thing you said is a gazillion times worse. ... just sayin.

 

[imjustagirl]

I hate the Diet Coke example. Some people like Diet Coke more than they like Coke. If I get Sprite instead of Pepsi with my deep-fried lunch, does it make me a hypocrite?

It's ridiculous. No one gets a 6,000-calorie meal and then gets the Diet Coke to save calories. Stop being a ****ing asshole.

I prefer diet sodas, even though by looking at me you can clearly tell I'm not on a diet.

About to go pour a bowl of cereal. Check FB in two minutes.

 

[Dick Whitman]

With Moddy and IJAG here. I don't know why Diet Coke pushes people's buttons. I prefer it. It's habit. I occasionally indulge in a hearty meal. With a Diet Coke. Because that's what I drink.

Also worth noting: Diabetes is more related to sugar intake than obesity. So there's that.

 

[Versatile]

I've grown to like Coke Zero quite a bit, after spending most of my life abhorring diet soda (non-Dr Pepper division, because that **** is just perfect).

 

[Moderator1]

I've become a Zero junkie. We keep a fridge in my office stocked with nothing but.

 

[JackReacher]

Diet Coke and Coke Zero are both better than regular Coke. Doesn't matter what I'm eating.
Not a fan of Diet Pepsi.
Diet Mountain Dew and Diet Dr. Pepper are the best of the bunch, though.

I'm like Versatile, though. Late on the diet drinks bandwagon.

 

[expendable]

The perfect zero calorie beverage.

Otherwise, give me a non-diet Coke/Pepsi/Dr Pepper, Cheerwine, Sun Drop. Oh, don't skimp on the caffeine.
