    Bang him mom when you reach your goal weight, then tell him that she didn't think it was sad.

    Everyone I've told about MFP has ended up joining. None of them log in anymore.

    I usually just reply with a quip about something they do being equally as "sad". If they get offended I redirect right back to them. Doesn't feel so good, does it? Shut the *kitten* up.

    I've never had anyone comment on the fact I count calories, though.

    When it comes to negativity, all you can really do is ignore ignore ignore.

    Or throw poo. You can always throw poo.

    It's good to have this as an option.

    My reply in the past has been along the lines of: "You know what's sad? I used to weigh 217 lbs." Watching that sink in is amazing.

    You sure they are a friend?

    Semi-certain. He's known for annoying everyone to the point of murder.

    Knowing what he is like, why would you give any credence to what he says?

    Pick you battles, let this one go, it isn't worth caring about.

    Option 1:
    annoying friend "that's so sad"
    .... look up slowly.

    slow blink.

    you: "so are you- but I keep you around anyway"

    look back down.

    Option 2:
    annoying friend "that's so sad"

    >don't look up keep doing what you're doing<
    I fail to see how my actions should illecit any emotion from you what so ever- for all you know I could have been playing candy crush- some how that would have been a more efficient and joyful use of my time???/


    Option 3:
    annoying friend "that's so sad"
    Look up sharply with crazy wide eyes and whisper- looking nervously left and right

    But the numbers- the numberss... they speak to me!!!! ssshhhshhhhhs can't you hear them?????


    Option 4:
    RKO out of no where?

    I would probably hit him in the throat and, as he gasped for air, tell him that I bet it sucks more to be him, now. But, that's just me.

    My son uses it for tracking his calories and he's in a bulk. He wants to make sure he gets at least 3000 calories a day.

    Some people....

    I'd ask him if he really thought that losing weight would be all unicorns and rainbows. I don't think anyone is happy about having to do it, but you got to do what you got to do.

    I'd say, "when I want to look like you, I'll eat like you". I have said this to "friends" and I'm sure I will say it again.

    I would say that but he has scoliosis, so it'd be a bit awkward. I guess he is fairly round though.

    yes- RKO of of no where- or a throat punch.



    Option 5
    annoying person "that's so sad"

    ... heavy silence

    You < oh I'm sorry- i couldn't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am>



    I like the that's so sad?... you mean- like your face.

    that's a good one.

    You're mom jokes are ALWAYS funny.

    Anything that reverts back to my fabulous a@@ is usually something I go to as well.

    Snark isn't nice- but it usually shuts up ignorant people who don't know when to just keep their opinions to themselves when they weren't asked for in the first place.

    Snark first- actual explanations can be saved for people who actually are curious and give a flying fk.

    Or throw poo. You can always throw poo.


    I am finding myself saying this in an exaggerated british accent ala chimps from Madagascar.

    Yup. It's how I feel when folks here tell other dieters that they're "wrong", being silly, making things too complicated.... for choosing something other than calorie counting. It's rude. I like mfletcher's mom's comeback above.

    So true! My friends are generally really supportive of me. They always say that they are glad they don't have to do it though.

    Counting calories is not sad. You know what's sad? Firefly got ONE season. That's sad.

    Your friend needs to sort out his priorities.

    Yes!!!
