I've been struggling to lose weight. I've been on a diet for months with little results. Yesterday I saw my roommate pouring regular soda into my diet soda bottle. She didn't know I could see her reflection. I think she's also put full fat yogurt and cottage cheese in my low fat containers. How do I confront her on this?

Your roommate is probably trying to help you. Low fat and fat free foods are not good for you. I.e. Margarine vs. butter: Margarine is full of chemicals and trans fatty acids while butter is just cream and salt. The only ones benefiting here are the manufacturers who produce this so called low fat junk! Ever wonder why people in Europe aren't fat? They eat natural foods - rich, creamy and full of fat - yet they're not obese. Well, our very own food supply is nasty. Our vegetables are genetically modified, our meats are full of hormones and steroids, our dairy products are full of the latter plus antibiotics in addition. I personally noticed that every time I leave the country I totally pig out (I'm on vacation - so who cares) - then when I return I notice that I've lost weight. As for your dieting: Diets don't work!!! I've been on every one of them!!! It is definitely our food supply!!! As for the regular soda vs. diet soda.... - well.... sugar is a natural product and aspartame which is the ingredient of diet sodas is just pure poison. Ever wonder why it is always the obese people who drink diet sodas and the skinny ones drink regular sodas? Look around you.........
I think you should be thanking your roommate. Want to lose weight? Then either leave the country or buy everything organic and avoid all those fat free / reduced fat products. Also - stop thinking about it. Your mind is more powerful than you thing - so when you keep thinking about your weight - then that's what you'll end up with; an abundance of it. Ever heard the saying "be careful what you wish for?" Stop thinking about being overweight.

Just straight up confront her about it. Is she overweight also? Maybe the reason why she's doing it is b/c she doesn't want you to loose weight and feel better b/c then it will make her look bad.
Or you could be as sneaky as your roommate was and pretend to make a doctor's appt b/c you haven't been feeling well. When you get back from the doctor's act like your all upset and nervous. Tell your roommate that the doctor said your cholesterol is really high and blood pressure is high. Say you told the doctor you were following the diet "he/she" put you on but you can't understand why it's even higher than before. start crying if you have to.....and be like I really need to follow my diet or I can have some serious health problems down the road.
Telling you.....a guilt trip will work better than accusing the roommate.

the frist thing you do is tell her that you 2 have a problem that needs to be worked out. start by telling her that you seen her putting fat yogurt into your nonfat yogurt and puting regular soda into ur diet soda, then see what she says.then tell her that you are trying to lose weight and she isn't helping you by messing up your diet,if she keeps on with intentionally sabotaging your diet, put some type trap so you know.then tell her that if she does it again then she will pay for the replacement of the items

Why in the world would anyone try to sabotage anyone else's diet?
Perhaps you should confront your roomate and ask her why she would jeopardize your health and your decision to lose weight in this way.
I would like to encourage you to keep on with your healthy lifestyle change and soon you will definitely see results. STAY POSITIVE and if your room mate continues to thwart your efforts to eat more healthfully, I suggest finding another roommate.

That's pretty spiteful of her - not to mention bold! Do you have any idea why she is going to all the effort to keep you from losing weight? I think I'd catch her in the act and confront her then.
Take the high road and ignore the temptation to put hair remover in her shampoo bottle!
I wish you well!

If I had a roommate who did that, I'd sabotage their face.
Alternatively, if assault isn't your thing, either ask her exactly who she thinks she is for doing something like that. Or even better, put something like Syrup of Ipecac into her food and see how she likes her diet being tampered with.

thats one of the most awful things i have heard.. your roommate either has issues, or has some problem with you
what id do is start messing with her crap.. start putting stuff in her shampoo, her lotion, her food (maybe leave the milk out for a few hours in the sunlight and put it back in w/o telling her) but im sure youre angry so youll probably have no problem coming up with things
and dont be subtle about it.. she'll realize that you know that she's been messing with you, and that should stop her.. generally dont like passive aggressiveness, but if youre funny about it, and it helps you get revenge, im all for it
good luck

This is simply unbelievable and very mean if she really did this! I almost want to say it is criminaI. How can she sabotage your food. Who knows what else she is putting in it. I would be careful!!!
I think you need proof though before you confront her, but I definetely would not stay roomates with this evil jealous lady....She must be very jealous of you!
Could you videotape her by secret?
