What's the most unhelpful thing someone has said to you ....

Not to me....but anyone who says.....it's as easy as CICO. Awesome advice......I'm sure nobody ever thought losing weight by eating less than they burn, groundbreaking stuff. If I wanted over simplistic thoughts and phrases that claim to fix everything with no real plan.....I'd listen to my President.19

"You're starting to look a little chunky again"
My response, "*kitten* you, *kitten*"
It was to a good friend of mine, but still. I hate the word chunky unless it's chocolate and has raisins and nuts in it.8 -
"There's tons of calories in that wine you enjoy so much"
My response, "Did I *kitten* ask you?, get out of my house"12 -

"Everything in moderation" ...says the skinny *kitten* who has never had to diet in her whole life.
Moder...what...? Please, I eat one cookie and I'd have to eat a whole sleeve.12 -

She wrote a letter on my behalf and placed it in his desk. I remember till this day what she said to our entire class after my crush finished reading this letter out loud: "I honestly don't think you have a chance with him or any guy for that matter!" I cried myself to sleep that night. She was a *kitten* and he was an *kitten* for reading the letter out loud.
Well she sure was wrong.....you got yourself one fine husband, and I'm pretty sure you have broken many hearts along the way

Going in to that black, red and white colored giant wireless company’s store and having to check in like you’re renting a room for the night and after wasting 20 mins waiting to talk to one of the empty headed piles of clothes “consultants” , you’re told that you have to call customer service to deal with the billing issue, thanks for the “help”. That’s my recent most unhelpful thing said4

Lots of stuff, but here:
- You need to lift heavy
- Oh, you aren't losing weight, eat more
- You need more protein
- __________ shake, bar, powder, etc makes a difference
- Carbs are evil
- Sugar is evil
- Macros blah blah blah blah
- You don't need cardio
- Again, lift heavy
- CICO doesn't work or is wrong
- Paleo blah blah blah
- Crossfit blah blah blah
- Anything a "coach" tells me is absolute BS
- and more...

Is "No." not a complete sentence? Seriously asking.2

My favorite..... "But you have such a pretty face".5

How about "Eh?"0

You’re still a pig and I’m going to continue cheating on you because you’re worthless.

I don't think anyone said anything particularly unhelpful.. apart from telling me I didn't need to lose any more weight when I was still like 30lbs over weight and it was very clear that I DID.
I found it odd/disheartening when people wouldn't comment on anything though, haha! Was just my ego playing up. Like "hey fcukface I've lost 50lbs, SAY SOMETHING!!!" I never did say that, I stewed in my own bitterness instead.7 -

You just have to walk around like a body builder with your arms out to the side. Works every time1 -
Oh wait, I forgot about the guy on a first date who told me I'd be a total 10 if only I lost some weight.9

I’m thinking more underwear parachutes
Now that would be pretty cool and probably very uncomfortable1 -
I truly hate the use of “It is what it is,” typically said with an expression that the speaker thinks conveys depth of thought.
Among the most idiotic phrases ever. Makes my skin crawl to hear it.7 -

You mean repetitive empty justifications don't serve as good advice?7 -
"If you eat early enough you can eat what you want and you won't gain weight. This is how we ate when I was growing up, and we weren't fat."
Stated by my mother-in-law as we sat down to dinner of Tacos, Flautas, and much more food. She questioned why I was measuring my food and writing it down.2
