From my Doctor Hi how are y.....Holy @&$! You've lost a lot of weight.0

I've had so many funny comments. A friend's mother, after I had lost 100 lbs, asked me if I'd thought about exercising to help me lose weight? I've had people ask me if I meant to lose so much or if I'm sick, and I think the best one was being patted down by security at the airport and being asked if that was a concealed gun in my top? It was my ribs!0

Why are your veins so visible? Sure made ambulatory care lab easy0

"person" at the gym was apparently agitated that I lost more weight than he did in the last month. He told me I was so pale I looked sick and needed to get a tan. I told him that keeping my skin was preferable to skin cancer (he's VERY tan). He walked away muttering while I laughed.0

You lost 2 lbs a week??? That's so sad. It's unsafe! (funny remark from a poster on this forum.) lol*0

I have an ex who told me that I was starting to look like a Barbie doll...all boobs and legs. It was his way of complimenting and insulting me at the same time. Same ex started spreading the rumor that I had had weight-loss surgery when we broke up.
Lots of people have told me that I look taller.0 -
A few girls in my old social circle started a rumor that I lost weight by doing drugs. This hurt deeply because my father was an alcoholic and drug addict when I was growing up. It destroyed my childhood and family and had such an influence on me that I don't even touch alcohol, let alone drugs. The only thing that hurt more was that a few friends that I thought knew better actually found it so much easier to accept that I got so thin from drugs rather than hard work. I completely stopped associating with most of the people I knew after that. I only kept the few really good friends that knew me better than that.0

I'm having cataract surgery in a couple of weeks. A nurse from the surgery center called to go over my instructions. She had some my medical information on file from the past. Asked what medicine I was on, "none". No you're taking medicine it says so here. I explain not anymore. She doesn't quite understand but can't tell me I don't know what medicine I take. When she tells me I weigh 215, I said "no I weigh 165"! Finally it clicked for her, "oh you've lost weight, is that why your not taking medicine anymore?" Well yes, who would have thought that.0

That's really sad... Looks to me like you've shed excess buttheads as well as weight
Keep up your awesomeness!!0 -
Do you even eat? Uh, if they could've seen me binging over this weekend they would certainly know I eat.0

Your going to blow away with the wind if you lose anymore.. I still have 18 pounds to go.0

"Hey mom now that you lost that hunchback fat you can cut your hair short again!"
Gee thanks my not so subtle 17 year old daughter lol0 -

Way to discredit my hard work!!
My mom, who has been trying and failing to lose weight for LITERALLY 15 years now, is constantly throwing this one at me. I tried, very sensitively, to get her to do what I'm doing and she totally blew me off "Oh it doesn't work like that for me, I don't have time to count calories, etc etc" and yet she is constantly doing "cleanses" and spending a bunch of money on new fitness classes that kick her butt so hard she can barely walk (she's 53). And whenever I tell her "But mom, I've lost 14 lbs ALREADY and I've really put in minimal effort compared to you." She acts like it's just no big deal at all and she makes me feel like my efforts, however small they are in comparison to hers (It's been effort for me, and probably for the average person, just cause I didn't sign up for boot camp....), don't matter at all. Like, I realize people are different, but CICO is the same no matter your age unless you have special conditions, and she doesn't.
I just want to scream at her through her excuses "Don't you get it??? YOU'RE the reason I thought there was no hope all these years! Your constant "trying" and failing made me believe that if you couldn't do it with all the work you APPEARED to be putting in, that of course I could never do it! And now you can't even be happy for me that I can do it after all?! Really?"
It's kind of interesting. With as much as I disagree with my mom about, we at least agree that counting calories and adding exercise is what works. We may choose different ways to do both, but it works.
I wish. She's convinced she has some kind of hormone issue one week, then she can't have carbs next week, then it's "Great-grandma is allergic to sugar, I think I am too" the week after that, then she binges, then she goes vegetarian, then she goes to the doctor and the doctor gives her shakes and a rule to eat nothing but green veggies for 4 weeks, then she gets on phentermine, then she gains it all back eating her "clean diet" of oats and kale and snap peas and whathaveyou, then saturated fat and anything partially hydrogenated is the devil. The list goes on and on and on and on and on. And calorie counting and letting herself eat what she pleases within a set amount would never work because reasons. I am now 15.5 lbs down. When I reach my goal, I'm gonna be really interested to see what she thinks of CICO then...0 -

No then she'll most likely tell you, that you take after your Father; that's why it was so "easy"/for you to lose the weight!0 -

OMG have you been spying on us or something? She just said something like this a couple weeks ago except she was comparing me to my great-grandma! (The woman is a 94 year old stick who still lives on her own unassisted and she could probably kick my butt, so I took it as a compliment too, but she made it pretty clear what she meant)0 -

LOL no but your Mother is obviously playing the "Blame Game" & that type of comparison, is always on the list. Might I suggest that you show her, your posts & our (the communities) responses; to them about her. Sometimes a humiliating reality check, is what's necessary long term; to counteract any/all short term placebo effects.0 -

I WILL try that if I reach my goal and she still doesn't believe. I mean, she can be a royal pain, but she's my mom and I want her to LIVE. Her biggest complaint is how hard it is to calorie count and how she doesn't have time. Gonna be browsing the community for any and all posts about THAT for sure. 0
