Pet Peeve.. "She's on a diet".

I am really struggling when people tell other people... "She's on a diet!" I define a diet as a short term solution, a quick fix... You can only diet for so long. Take the Atkin's diet or South Beach diet. They might help you lose weight but overall they aren't healthy for long term results.
When I started this journey to a healthier me lots of people wanted to give me advice. So said,"I saw this diet online where you eat tuna fish sandwiches for 3 days a week and then whatever you want the rest of the week!" or you need to do this or that...
I knew that none of these things would work because they where short term... I needed to learn how to change my eating habits and ways that I viewed food for the rest of my life. I have said from the begining, "If I can't do this day in and day out for the rest of my life, then it isn't the right thing for me."
Yes, I have limited some of the foods I eat but WE ALL SHOULD... Sugar... you shouldn't be eating tons of it, white flour is no-no, vegetable oil= tons of health issues, etc. I am making HEALTHY CHOICES, not DIETING!
Ok, so that's that.
