Hey there, HotTakers! Roger here, and have I got a scrumptious story that’s been marinating in controversy and serving up some serious hot takes. So, tie your napkin, because we’re about to dive into a tale that’s as juicy as a medium-rare steak freshly plucked from the grill. This saga, served straight from the Reddit kitchen, features a real person with a real food feud that begs the question: AITA for not sharing my meal?
Let’s set the table, shall we? The dish of the day involves a self-confessed very fat lady in her mid-30s who’s got a penchant for cooking, baking, and, most importantly, sharing. But here’s the twist—the she decided to flip the script on her eating habits by enlisting the culinary draft of a doctor, nutritionist, and the unsung hero of health, a trainer. With allergies more complicated than a recipe for coq au vin and restrictions that make gluten look like the enemy, she whipped up a dietary plan that would make even Gordon Ramsay nod in approval.
Now, let’s sink our teeth into the meat of the matter. Our protagonist brings her meticulously measured meal to work, a symphony of salad, potatoes, and meat swathed in sauce, only to be ambushed by a coworker’s carnivorous craving. This coworker, let’s call her Miss ‘Gimme Some of That,’ decides it’s her divine right to partake in the feast. Our heroine, armed with nothing but a Tupperware and her dietary dignity, says no. Miss ‘Gimme Some of That,’ not used to being denied her share of the spoils, launches a low blow about portion control and ‘effective’ weight loss. The aftermath? A work environment more toxic than undercooked chicken, with a side of unsolicited DMs demanding body pics.
Let’s take a moment to marinate on that. A woman, on a medically supervised journey to health, bullied for not sharing her food. In what bizarro world does ‘no’ translate to ‘please insult my body and dietary choices’?
So, as I preheat my hot take oven, let’s remember this isn’t just about a lunchtime squabble over protein. It’s a reminder that our society has a long way to go in respecting personal boundaries and understanding that dieting, eating, and health are personal and not open for public debate or ridicule.
Now, for **Roger’s Hot Take**: Not only is our galactic chef of nutrition NTA (Not The Asshole), she’s a gladiator in Tupperware armor. She’s battling not just for her health but for the right to eat her meal in peace. And to the coworker and her ‘work BF,’ let’s serve them a hearty portion of mind-your-own-business.
So, my dear HotTakers, let’s raise our forks in solidarity. Here’s to choosing ourselves, our health, and knowing that sometimes, the best thing we can share is a little compassion. Until next time, keep your meals close, your snacks closer, and your right to choose what you do with them closest.
Bon Appétit, and remember, Roger’s got your back.
Original story
I am very fat woman in my mid 30s, I love cooking and baking and I love to share. I often bring things to work for people to share.
Well I gain 20 kilos last 2 years and I decided I really need to take better care for myself. I found a doctor, nutritionist and trainer few weeks ago and now I am following the regime they set for me
I have gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance, egg/seafood/celery allergy so it’s not exactly easy to cook for me, but I worked with nutritionist and she has made “menu” for me for every day of a month. With amount of food an everything (calories counted). I spend a lot of time cooking every day and I am bringing food to work with me in Tupperwares. The thing is that according to the doctor I ate really wrong – I was all the time dieting and I didn’t eat enough necessary nutrients. So the nutritionist prescribed me big portions, especially when it comes to proteins, because she wants me to exchange fat for muscles.
So to the issue – I brought tupper of salad, some potatoes and meat with sauce to work. The meat was cutted in 4-5 pieces to fit into the tupper and when I warmed it up I sat and started to eat. My coworker came to me and asked if she could have one or two pieces of the meat and a bit of potatoes because it smelled heavenly and I always bring cooked stuff to the office. I told her no, that it’s my lunch and I have set amount of calories intake, so I am sorry but no. She looked at me and told me I don’t need this big portion and I should share with her, because it would help me. I told her sorry, but no and kept eating. She scoffed and left me alone, but since than she and her “work BF” keep making fun of me for eating like a pig. And that it s not very effective weight losing since I am still fatty
So AITA?
For all the people with terrible need to give me health and weight loss advice. Keep it to yourselves, I am taken care of by professionals. THANKS!
Edit: I am not gonna send anybody photo of my body. Please stop DMing me.
