    The daft thing that really bugs me is when people say to me "you're lucky".

    (Funny enough the harder I try the luckier I get.)

    Heard that a lot, and I hate that !!!

    At work I have a banner that declarates "Good Luck comes after a lot of Hard Work"

    There's even a supposedly better BMI site that tells me I'm a good weight and that I'm lucky that I don't have work at it.

    A person on the bus the other day: milk will make your calves fat because it's designed to grow calves.

    Just when I thought the milk-calf argument couldn't get any sillier.

    I have no words!! :smiley:

    "You lose weight in the kitchen, not by exercising."

    IMHO this is not a myth. Is the naked truth.

    The intent of what is being said is true, but it is technically not correct. The reality is that the balance of calories in and calories out is what makes the difference. We can't pick one above the other.

    I suppose I'll have to feed my calf soy milk :p

    That all you have to do to loose weight is eat "healthy".

    That vegans/vegetarians are healthier people solely because they don't eat meat.

    "220lbs is just my natural weight."
    I can't believe that being obese is seen as natural.

    220lbs isn't anyones natural weight unless they are over six foot five me thinks...

    I'd tend to agree. Batman's stats, I believe are 6'2" and 210 lbs.

    Unless they are really muscular. :P

    That I was too fat for intimate relations at this weight, from my then-husband.

    Takes the cake over every idiotic nutrition-related thing I've read and did far more damage to my head at 22 than any wrong factual information.

    What a dickhead. Glad you're healed/healing.

    Agree.
