Vegetables are a swear word!!
We recently spent 3 days in Vienna, met up with 2 other couples who we see a few times a year as we live in different areas. First evening we were asked about what we have been doing in the garden, so explained about renovation project, raised beds, veggies etc. Ok.....
During our time there in restaurants, cafe's etc others would select their meal option but I found the choices limited to quite heavy meals and not much in the way of fresh fruit or veggies but always managed to find something I could have if not a perfect choice.
Being 6 persons it was sometimes difficult to decide where to go, what to do, routes directions etc so at times we split up to meet later in the day. We wanted to sight see and to try to find some music culture etc maybe some exclusive shops, the others fancied high tea in a couple of posh hotels. This was all fine by us but on returning home the females of the other couples have complained that we were in sensitive to their size and that we should not have been talking about vegetables when half of the party were overweight! ????
I am amazed. Can anyone tell me what we did wrong?
Our meal choices etc were ours and we did not comment or preach about what anyone else was choosing. We are not saints and we enjoy chocolate and desserts etc but we prefer our main meals to be lighter and healthy (so that we have room for dessert etc) The last time we saw these people was in January and I had lost a lot of weight for my sons wedding (21llbs) but I am not this light at the moment having regained 7lbs but my good friend at home says she bets it was because I am slimmer and did not indulge as they did.
I am utterly gobsmacked that people can complain at others eating healthily.
What do you all think and how can we deal with this going forward?
Thanks
