Oh yeah, the last year and a half of grueling spin classes, lifting very heavy things over and over again, and turning down that yummy piece of pie because I need to save calories to make sure I get my protein in has been a walk in the park!!! Lol But, I do agree with his saying about it being mental. You have to be in the right mindset to really do the hard work and change your lifestyle the way you should to make this work. You have to be prepared and determined to shut your mind up every time it tells you to slack off or quit. You also have to work on the reasons as to why you've let yourself get to a place where you need to lose weight in the first place and, for some of us, that is mental as well.

He's wrong and being a tool. It is simple, but it definitely is not easy.

The head game is the challenge and if it was easy, everyone would do it.

Not from strangers but there have been some snide remarks from family members, I just ignore it. It's actually flattering to know that it's so obvious I'm doing well to others that they feel the need to cut me down. Only I can let them, and.... well... f that. lol

Are they very common? I haven't noticed.

Yup it's apart of the journey. You have people who think they know it all, and you have people who are jealous of your progress and say rude things. You just have to ignore it and do you and not worry about them.
