I think I live quite a healthy lifestyle. I love fruits, drink water, jog, and frequently don't indulge in cakes, chocolate or soft drinks. That's not because I choose not to become fat, it's because sometimes that stuff is disgusting. I don't like it when people say to me wow you're so healthy as if it's a bad thing. Because it makes me feel bad and I shouldn't feel like that. I grew up as a child eating fruits as my desserts after dinner, always drinking water after I eat something sweet, eating vegetables to make sure I don't get constipated. This isn't simply being healthy. It's just the way my parents raised me to make sure I have a balanced diet. And sure, this may not be considered as your lifestyle/ diet but it's mine, so please don't try to make me feel insecure about it.

When someone offers me a chocolate bar, I don't say no because I don't want to get fat, I say no because I honestly don't feel like it. That doesn't give you the right to assume that "wow you're so healthy because you didn't want to eat this chocolate bar". Of course I eat chocolate, I just don't a whole bar or eat it on a regular basis. I wasn't trying to be healthy. I just simply didn't want to eat. Why is it when I order a salad for lunch that people think 'wow you're so healthy'. I felt like a salad because my stomach is crying out for something light and refreshing after a big dinner last night. My body is adjusted to this lifestyle, so everytime I eat a burger, why am I not allowed to? is it because "i'm so healthy". No. It's because people shit down on people who live that kind of lifestyle. 

My impression now is that when people want to be healthy, other people say something like "god, why would you do that. Burgers and everything are life". I'd say, let them be healthy. Or let them eat what they want, whether it's salads, yoghurt, an acai bowl.. or a burger, donut, pizza. Let them eat. Why are people being freaking judged for what they eat or what their lifestyle is. If someone is vegan or vegetarian, you don't judge them for not eating meat but you accept them. Why can't you accept someone who lives a lifestyle that involves exercising or yoga or eating a salad over a burger, or fruits over ice-cream.

why can't people accept me for what I eat and how I live?????
