A lot of people are trying their best to eat healthy. They go out of their way to prepare meals that look and taste good but more importantly, leave them feeling full. But every few days, it seems as though a craving for something savory or sweet rears its ugly head.
You know, a cheesy slice of pizza, a hamburger from a fast food joint, or a big slab of cheesecake. Turning away is hard for everyone but it’s particularly difficult for people who are on an actual diet. Fortunately, social media users keep it real. As you’re about to discover, many people struggle… whether they’re officially dieting or not.
Well, it was a toss-up. Let’s see, gooey chocolate cake, brownie mix, or a bathroom scale. It’s so hard to decide. This photo shows exactly which one the customer decided on…good choice.
If you know anything about social media, it’s that if someone follows you, the polite nice thing is to follow them back. But in this case, the diet wasn’t playing by the rules. So, this person did the only logical thing.
We’d say this bakery got it right. After all, carrots are a vegetable. So, if you’re going to cheat on your diet and eat cake, this is the way to go. Really.
4. Do the same letters count?
They should. Like, what’s the difference between having abs and kebabs. They’re almost identical, sort of, okay, not even close. But who cares?
This person has a great idea. Instead of downing four or five cookies, they limit themselves to just one. Hey, no one said anything about the size or content of the cookie. So, this should be okay.
Although you won’t die if you’re on a diet, it sure feels like it. By avoiding all your favorite foods, you begin to sweat, tremble, and bite your nails. Then, you lose sleep and have a hard time focusing. That sounds a lot like dying.
That was nice. A person in the family is dieting and to make sure they stay on track someone was kind enough to eat all the juicy chicken and cashews smothered in brown sauce. The fact they left the broccoli shows just how much they care.
This individual should be very proud of themselves. Let’s face it for most people on a diet, it would’ve been more like three minutes instead of six. Way to go.
Especially for people who follow a vegan diet, finding a good restaurant isn’t always that easy. This place rocks. It has everything on the menu that a person could possibly want.
10. That sounds about right
Why is it that even people who don’t need to lose weight freak out in no time the minute they call anything to do with food a “diet.” That word creates instant panic. And for those on a diet, it sends them into a tailspin.
11. Thanks for the support
All you want is some chocolate almond spread…on anything. But when you open the container, this is what you see. If this husband really being supportive or a little bit sarcastic here?
Why diet when you can lie? Seriously, is the Department of Motor Vehicle going to make you stand on a scale to check your weight before issuing you a driver’s license? They’ll never know.
Maybe the person who made this “cake” was just trying to support the individual who’s on a diet. But in their eyes, we doubt they found any humor in this whatsoever. By the way, what is that?
They make it look so yummy. So, you pile all those veggies on your plate but then when you go to eat it, you discover it doesn’t taste as good as it looks. Even worse…you glance over at the person sitting next to you just as they take a big bite of spaghetti followed by garlic bread.
15. Calorie counting at its best
When on a diet, it’s important to count every calorie. That means if you’re craving a soda, you’d have to do something like this. One piece of advice…if you’re going to diet, you might want to stay away from the Cheesecake Factory.
As far as we’re concerned, this individual gets two points. The first one is for being honest. Most people wouldn’t admit their weakness. The second is for being so creative with this acronym. Nice job.
17. Cheating is never okay
If you want to achieve the perfect body, you’re going to have to make some sacrifices. That includes eating right and working out. But if you’re going to cheat, make sure no one snaps a photo of you from the back.
18. They’re honest…sort of
The next time someone tells you they just burnt 1,500 calories, remember this photo. Try to get them to be as detailed as possible. This is pretty clever, though.
Although if it’s a really good flick, they might enjoy both. Nah, it’s all about the popcorn. Especially when you ask for extra butter drizzled all over it and get a candy bar that you was down with a large soda.
Do you see that look of disgust as the cat takes an unsuspecting bite of lettuce? Yeah, that’s how most people on a diet look. The next time you eat lettuce, check yourself out in the mirror. You’ll see this kitty could be your twin.
21. So close and yet so far
We hate to be the ones to tell this person that what they’re doing doesn’t help. Can you imagine if it did? Everyone would be scratching their search history quicker than they could say the word “diet.”
What a horrible thing for a coworker to do. The sad thing is, they probably have a hidden camera somewhere. As soon as the person on a diet takes one, their photo will be splashed all over the office.
23. That nagging sensation
The worst part of dieting isn’t the foods you need eat. It’s that pain in the pit of your stomach. You know, from never feeling full. And you can see, carrots don’t help the situation.
24. Something doesn’t seem right
Okay, this man’s wife gets props for making her husband a pizza. He’s on a diet after all. But where’s all the cheese, sauce, pepperoni, and other goodies? Sorry, but this shouldn’t even count as a pizza.
Yep, people on a diet know exactly how this pup feels. But if you ever decide to do this…please, try to refrain. It might seem like a good idea at the time but overall, it’d be disastrous, especially if someone’s watching you or worse, filming the incident.
26. Please define “long-term”
To a dieter, every meal is important. So, if you ask someone about their “long-term” goals, you need to be very specific. Otherwise, you’ll get an answer like this.
The night before starting a diet, just about everyone has one final binge. The only problem is the next day, they promise they’ll start their diet tomorrow, which allows them to have yet another final binge. Maybe dieting isn’t for everyone.
28. Boy, isn’t that the truth?
You walk up to the counter intending to order a healthy salad. After all, you’re committed to losing weight. But before you know it, the words “double cheeseburger and large fry” spew from your mouth. How does that happen?
…on so many levels. Come on, that’s never going to work. So, just go ahead and order 20. You know you want to.
30. Um…another option, please
A lot of people turn to their doctor for help when trying to lose weight. This one offered some sound advice. But it sounds like the patient was hoping for something much different.
31. “What did you eat today?”
“Oh, just a burger and a diet Coke.” Who says you have to explain that the burger was 10 feet tall and contained every ingredient imaginable? If they don’t ask — don’t tell. That should be every dieter’s motto.
32. An inspirational phrase
Many people love that phrase “when one door closes another one opens.” But for this individual, they’re not being philosophical. Instead, they’re talking about the refrigerator. Remember, it’s all in the details.
If your new bride does this on your wedding day, be prepared for what’s next. The first clue? Her going on a crash diet before getting married to you. Don’t wedding vows say something about “for thicker or thin?” Maybe we’re confused.
34. A different kind of smart
You’ve heard it before. Some people are book smart and others are street smart. This individual is neither one of those. They’re diet smart. They should probably pursue one of the other two.
A lot of dieting experts tell people they shouldn’t deprive themselves of all sweets. Something small once in a while can actually help a person succeed. This person decided to stockpile…just in case.
Shoot, some people would be more than willing to work an extra job for this. While it’s not going to help them lose weight, they’ll feel really good about themselves. Isn’t that the point?
You want to diet and exercise so bad yet you’re struggling to get motivated. You’re not alone. Do you know how many people snack on the couch while watching a Zumba class? Yeah, we don’t either but it’s probably a lot.
If it works for medical studies, why can’t it work for dieting? Hopefully, this person will let the rest of the world know how successful this was. More than likely, we’ll never hear a peep out of them again.
After visiting a doctor, one patient was told to lay off the carbohydrates. Instead, the individual needed to go with something healthier. So, what’s wrong with a plateful of pepperoni? It’s protein…we won’t mention the fat content.
People on diets are always trying to convince themselves of one thing or another. While eating an avocado, which isn’t bad when trying to shed some extra pounds, this individual was working hard to convince it and herself that she too was good.
Look, they’re both long, orange, crunchy, and delicious. You try to tell someone who’s on a diet that Cheetos and carrots aren’t the same. It works for us but if you do, you better say it fast and run like the wind.
42. Desperate times call for desperate measures
If you’re having a hard time sticking to your diet, you might try this. Keep in mind that a lot of people in the restaurant are going to stare but it’s all about you. If you do it just right, you could slip your server $5 in exchange for a real fork. It’ll be a secret just between the two of you.
Everyone knows there’s a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow. In this case, the pot just so happens to be a Jack in the Box where they serve mouthwatering burgers, fries, tacos, and of course, an assortment of shakes and malts.
44. You look lovely, darling
Okay, here’s a word to the wise. If you have to wear a tee-shirt that says this, we suggest you change into something different. When on a diet, you certainly don’t want to attract unnecessary attention to yourself and this would do it. On a side note…cute kitty.
If you’re asked how many chips you had while dining out at a Mexican food restaurant, eating this, you could honestly answer “only one.” There’s no need to explain the size of the chip. Just enjoy it.
