On my strongest days , I respond with I ' m eating exactly what I want to eat , thanks for noticing . On the worse ones , I want to crawl into a hole . Having a strong , positive , selfassured mantra going into it helps it also helps to feel smug and superior that they ' re so interested in something as silly as your plate of food . Not being sarcastic there ' s a place for feeling superior , and that ' s when your asshole uncle thinks it ' s his business to butt into your meal . At the end of the day , it ' s just fuel on a plate , and none of anyone else ' s goddamn business . People are usually shut up by a genuine , firm this is what I ' m eating and I ' m happy about it , this conversation is done . Alternatively , I ' ve been known to cope by drinking 😬
