Question about "fatphobic" comment.
Tw: dieting, calorie/macro tracking, possible fatphobia, idk if I'm in the wrong or what but I didn't know where to ask sorry if this is a bad space for it
Hi, like mentioned above idk if this is the right place, I just didn't really know where else to ask, I'll take this down if it's not relevant.
But the other day, I was on break at work, and a coworker offered me a dessert. I, being in a calorie defecit/cut for sports reasons, declined as it was a fairly substantial slice of cake and while it looked delicious, I knew I couldn't fit it in so close to my competition. I didn't make any other comments, I just said no thanks and that while it looked very good, I needed to watch what I eat, but then they got mad and called me fatphobic for not accepting the cake they worked so hard to make for everyone there just because it was "unhealthy"
(Pretty close to verbatim)
So, this has been on my mind, and I wanted to ask if I was in the wrong because I don't want to be a jerk.
For reference, we aren't too close, but we do kniw each other a bit. I don't ever talk about diet or anything like that while at work. This was the first time anyone has said anything.
I don't think I was rude in my intonation or expression, either.
Sorry if this is the wrong place, and thank you for reading this
