You are crashing dieting you're gonna gain everything back.
You need to eat more.
You're to skinny.
I'm on a diet too( as they eat a bag of chips, drink soda)0 -
My family and friends support me, but now as I'm very close to my goal, people are afraid I'll be underweight. I have anxiety and at times I do obsess over exercising and food intake, but that's a constant mental battle I'm trying to fight. However, my good friend decided to tell me she was disappointed in me because I ate a big mac. I think her concern was valid because I've been eating clean for a month (I cut out alcohol and decided not to have cheat meals) but I caved and had one bad supper. Still, hurtful nonetheless.
I also get offended when people say I'm getting too small. It irks me to no end.0 -
My personal fave: "You can have just a little bit....a bite won't hurt."0

My husband: "well, don't go buying a whole new wardrobe every time you go down a size"
Fast forward to a couple years later, gained 20lbs and needed to invest in a professional wardrobe for business school. I couldn't fit into what size I thought I was. I came out of the dressing room, and told him "come on" and made a beeline for my car where I broke down in wracking sobs. I then said "well, it looks like I won't be buying a whole new wardrobe every time I go down a size" He had no idea he even said that. He marched me back into the store and said "buy what size you are now, and when you go down a size, buy clothes in that size, and the next, and the next. Don't listen to me, I am an idiot."0 -
I hate it when I also have to justify why I'm not eating junk food to strangers, and they always say "aren't you on a diet?"
No.. I just choose not to treat my stomach as a garbage can. Hardly a diet.0 -
I've gotten the
"No more"
"Are you even eating?"
"When did you get so skinny?"
"You have no muscles, Skinny"
The word "skinny" just really pisses me off. I could rant all day, "you don't know my life, you don't know what I do or what I eat and you don't have the right to tell me how to live my life"
I was obese at 10 years old because my family literally doesn't know how to live a healthy lifestyle.. now I'm 19 and in the best shape of my life. And they're mad because of it.
Wellll, suck it. I like myself now0 -
My family tries to sabotage me; I've never seen so many cookies, cake or candy brought into the house before. They sabotaged my efforts to quit smoking until I was put into a medical coma and never smoked again. My (obese} in-laws have disowned me and villainize me. I take it in stride knowing being fit and healthy is the best comeuppance.
please tell me you're kidding0 -
I get it in the neck every day from unsupportive colleagues/friends suggesting I eat their pizza/chocolate/bad foods.
Told I look fine, am obsessed, should stop, it's unnecessary etc
Sometimes I feel like I people think I am becoming anorexic. In reality, I look like I ATE 10 anorexics...
Seriously though,I'm doing this for the right reasons and safely0 -
I have silence from my husband instead of a rude comment. I have lost 57 pounds and he has only commented once when I had lost around 30 pounds. My daughter told him to say something because I was pissed he had not said anything at all. So he asked me how much I had lost and said keep it up. He has about 100 pounds to lose but has no interest in trying.0

my older sister told me only last week that i shouldnt lose anymore weight....and she added the comment
"your eyes look too big for your head"
i said seriously what can i do about that!!!!
Hahahaha!
Your sister sounds crazy!0 -
When I was at the pharmacy to pick up my meds I picked up some ice cream and donuts. The pharmacist commented on how much weight I lost and then looked at the food I had and said "Oh, okay. I am glad that you are actually eating."0

Man there are some mean folk out there! I get lots of encouragement for the exercise I do; cycle my commute, training for 5, 10 and 21ks. BUT when it comes to monitoring what I'm eating I do get irksome comments.
- you of all people don't need to count calories.
- you're being obsessive, just have everything in moderation.
Sounds nice, but there'll be eye rolling. And yes I do. I didn't understand what was in food and what I needed, now I do. Now I think twice about guzzling down junk food cause it's quick. It's fine if people don't want to count calories but I don't nag them for not doing so, so why nag me about trying to improve myself? Why is exercise encouraged and having a healthy diet slagged?

Was told I was getting too "skinny" and that I had chicken legs now..... 2 things a guy really doesn't want to hear ..LOL...

I get a lot of "What kind of diet are you on?" I tell them, "I'm not on a diet, I made a lifestyle change!" Gets some strange looks.0
