In response to a classic l'esprit d'escalier moment, I've been waiting for someone to call food "sinful" (or a version thereof) in my presence, so I can respond with: "Why? Does the donut work for ICE?"
I had a coworker earlier this year say something about wanting a low carb version of something and I said, “No. I want the full carb version. Taking out the carbs doesn’t taste good,” or something similar. I had another coworker support me in this sentiment, so it felt good to know that not everyone is on the low carb train. That trend never seems to die. Bread, pasta, and dessert are far too delicious to ever give up or cut back on.
Even at my ideal weight I get comments about how sugar is poison, keto will cure me, and "my neighbor's cousin had what you have, and fasting cured them." I say, "Glad that works for you/them, moderation works best for me, and restrictive diets do me more harm than good." If they go on about my being in denial and wanting to stay sick, I resist the urge to throw a pie in their face.
The pie in the face would be so satisfying! I can just feel the relief in my body as I imagine it 🤪🍰🥧 But at the end of the day, we can’t go wasting a pie on someone like that!!

🤣 honestly I think a bingo card of diet comments is the way to go so that you get excited to bust out a reply like that
Your dogs are so cute!

Carbs are life! I love the response “I want the full carb version.” Brilliant. 😅❤️🙌🏼
