It happens a lot that, when I’m out and about, I bump into people that I know. Most people I know know what I do for a living. So, when I’m buying, eating or drinking something, people will often make a comment of some sort. It’s all fine. I don’t mind in the slightest. These comments usually show how people think about food. If I’m in a restaurant and eating anything other than a salad people often comment with “should you be eating that?” or “I’m surprised that you’re eating that”. Similar when they look in my trolley at the supermarket. And I get it. Part of me wants to say “Have you never read any of my blogs or watched my videos?” Because that whole thought process is often what holds people back. They think that you have to eat chicken and broccoli or salads and never drink alcohol to be in any sort of shape. And when they feel they can’t do that (which I don’t either), they don’t take enough action to move forward. Labelling foods “good” or “bad”, “healthy” or “unhealthy” might work for some people. From my experience, not many people.
