I'm very lucky because my circle of female friends, with whom I am likely to eat as a social activity, don't do this. We can bring each other home-baked goods when we visit AND cheer each other on if we're dieting. IT'S LIKE A MIRACLE. But I have experienced it many times before.
As I'm sure you know, this is the part that really resonated with me:
This is about judging someone else based on what they're eating or feeling like you're failing at something because you're on a diet or because you're not on a diet
It's similar to how I sometimes feel when I read political blogs. I'm not a bad feminist because I get my eyebrows shaped and I'm not betraying my fat sisters if I decide to drop a few pounds. We get enough shit from everyone else, we can't cut each other a break?
