Whenever I'm discussing food with someone and they tell me that a food I'm eating sounds unpleasant (such as 100% dark chocolate) or that I cut a nice tasting food out of my diet (such as potatos, icecream, bananas) I always get kinda frustrated and respond with something like "I eat food because its nutritious not because it tastes nice!!!"

I'm pretty sure this "holier than thou" attitude makes everyone around me feel bad about themselves, most people love food for how it tastes, nearly every celebration is centered around a lot of food, and yet everyone knows deep down that treating food like this is just setting back their dieting goals. By being so headstrong when explaining my eating philosophy I feel like I'm touting my disorderly ways as superior.

The worst part is that I've never had anyone argue back against me when I explain myself. People criticise me non stop for fasting, people are always asking me to stop losing weight, but as soon as I say "I don't want to eat for pleasure, I only eat for nutrition" all I get is hurt stares.
