My Wife & Neighbor got pregnant at the same time (Honest I did NOT knock up my neighbor)
From the moment the neighbor found out she was preggo! she had "cravings" for ice cream & candy and the couch
was attached to her butt. My wife ate sensibly (SP?) walked everywhere and we walked every night after dinner and less than 2 weeks after having the baby my wife was in her pre pregnancy skinny jeans and my neighbor said
wait for it
Well yea your ASIAN!!!!0 -
"I had to quit exercising because it was making my heart race !!! "
I said............Umm.............I think that's supposed to happen0 -
The most annoying thing I ever heard someone say was I took a fat burner pill so it's okay if I have this cheeseburger haha0
-
I've pretty much experienced almost everything everyone has already said, but recently, I am sooooooooooooooooooo irritated at a very close family member who is promoting an appettite-suppressing-energy-boosting-weight loss supplement on Facebook. They've even posted progress pictures that are obviously photoshopped.
ANYBODY promoting the latest fad urks me to no end.0 -
I was sitting at my daughter's softball game and some woman starts telling me that she eats ice chips because that helps you lose weight as opposed to just drinking the water.
Sigh. :grumble:0 -
I've heard this and repeated it myself for a laugh: "bones are for dogs, meat is for men" lol:laugh:0

never said to me btw, but i sometimes hear this...
person 1: "its so annoying, your as skinny as a rake, but all i see you eat is junk all the time, you must have a fast metabolism. If only my metabolism was as quick as yours, i'd be skinny aswell ......are you gonna eat the rest of that?.......
person 2: 'no, im full up, help yourself...'
person 1: 'thanks....nummm numm slurp numm numm burp nummmm slurp etc.........'0 -
My step mother used to be a LARGE woman, probably pushing 350 pounds and very short. I saw her again a year later (she lives overseas) and she was TINY. I couldn't believe it until I realized she had developed some serious bulimia. I tried to talk to her about it, but she told me, and I quote, "Darling, exercise is for people with low self esteem. You don't need to exercise to lose weight."
Did I mention she told this to me at a plastic surgeon's office? (She gets lipo now regularly.) Yeah, I'm not the one with low self esteem lady.
Well, technically, you DON'T need exercise to lose weight.0 -
"I don't have time" as he sits on the couch watching you tube videos of things being blown up.
"I wouldn't know how to go about it" Really? Because I've shown you MFP, downloaded the app for you, showed you a gazillion exercises, bought DVD's, offered to work out with you... and yet there you sit.
Oh and my friend who goes on green smoothie kicks to lose weight. She bought a Vitamix and will "go raw" for short periods of time where she proselytizes to everyone about how we should all do it too. She'll document every pound lost and everyone on Facebook goes nuts about her "success" and they all jump on the bandwagon. Then she'll stop drinking green smoothies and eating only raw fruit and vegetables, gain weight and the cycle continues. (I should note here that I have a Vitamix of my own and love green smoothies.) Maybe I should just hide her from my feed?
"My family won't eat healthy food like yours does!" Mine eat that way because I buy the food and I prepare it so they get what I give them. If they want something else they are more than welcome to go buy it and prepare it but I'm not a short order cook so it is what it is. My extremely picky husband who had only tasted three (THREE!!!) vegetables in his entire life when we met will now eat a variety of different foods, including vegetables. The man hated onions and refused to try peppers and now his favorite meal is fajitas with lots of peppers and onions. I have spent my life warping him. I'm also a little bit vocal about people complaining about something I've made for them to eat and he learned pretty early that it wasn't in his best interest to do so.
Probably the most irritating for me is my MIL's current husband and whatever his latest "lose weight/get rich selling this crap" scheme is. I can always tell when he's signed up for a new one because my inbox is flooded with testimonials and offers to sign me up to sell! His wife, my MIL, has had bariatric surgery and been on every diet known to man before and since the surgery. She was on a "white rice" diet for awhile where she ate only white rice. That's it, nothing else! She walked out her front door, got dizzy, fell off the porch and ended up in the hospital and that was the end of that diet.
I particularly love hearing her complain that she can't eat sugar because of the surgery and how it makes her feel so awful. This doesn't explain why the woman constantly has a bag of candy with her though that she's always eating. Black licorice is her favorite. One time she came to visit us and brought each of our four children THEIR OWN BAG OF CANDY!! I was about to kill her. My kids all know better and handed their bags to me as soon as she gave them out. I allowed them to have some but a whole darn bag each wasn't happening!
I had no idea I had so many things to say on this subject until I started typing. :blushing:0 -
I hate when people say they can't. You can. You're just making excuses.0
-
I hate when people tell me I'm not fat. I'm not blind and I do have mirrors in my house. I don't want people just walking up and saying "God your fat!" but when I talk about my progress on losing weight its the " why? your not fat!" comments that make me want to snap lol.0
-
- i'm eating clean
- i'm eating healthy
- i stopped eating junk food
- i avoid sugar
- i avoid processed foods
etc.
it's not WHAT you eat. it's HOW MUCH and HOW OFTEN.
it irritates the engineer me when people posit the wrong question, arrive at a flawed answer, and follow a weight loss plan that actually won't ensure sustainable weight loss.0 -
Person 1) my legs/hips hurt so I can't walk this weight off now..um your legs/hips hurt because of your extra weight
Person 2) I'm not eating bread, meat, sugar etc but I'd like an iced tea with 12 (not exaggerating, yes 12) Splenda! That's so much healthier than 2 teaspoons of real sugar..0 -
bump for later0

"Man, the doctor told me I now weight ___lbs... it sucks. *proceeds to eat entire big bag of Doritos before dinner*"
"I want these pills from this lady who says they'll make me lose weight, but she said I also have to eat less and exercise."
:noway:
My recent favorite:
Me: *talking to boyfriend 'discreetly' about my weight loss*
Person: How many pounds did you lose?
Me: 15.
Person: What's your secret, girl?
Me: Eat better, eat less, and exercise?
Person: I don't have time for all that.
:grumble:
All the same person.0 -
Me: "i've lost 50 lbs"
My skinny sister "I can't tell"0 -
THISTHISTHIS. Also, "just this once won't kill you".I hate when people tell me I'm not fat. I'm not blind and I do have mirrors in my house. I don't want people just walking up and saying "God your fat!" but when I talk about my progress on losing weight its the " why? your not fat!" comments that make me want to snap lol.
I hear this a lot from my friends when they want me to go drinking or out to eat. It's like, I am 200 pounds. Yes, I am thin compared to my previous 293 pounds, but I'm nowhere near a healthy weight. Just because I'm smaller than I was doesn't mean I'm where I should be! And while "one day won't kill me", 3-4 a week totally will. It's extra annoying because they're all trying to lose weight themselves.0 -
A co-worker told me that his doctor said that being overweight was simply "a disease," one that he would "likely fight his entire life." He made it sound like his doctor was telling him that he was doomed to be overweight, and nothing he could do would ever change that. That's just nonsense, especially coming from a doctor.0

This reminds me...
A lot of my friends, both healthy and unhealthy, are selling and promoting Advocare on Facebook. I am not into it just because of the price, but I was wondering if anybody here had an opinion on it?0 -
I get more annoyed with comments friends/family say that know I am losing weight, and almost every single one of them has said,
"Don't get too skinny, and lose your natural curves." (Or, something along those lines.)
Um.... huh? Granted, I am blessed in the tata and booty section, but I don't have curves. I have sharp, dangerous turns right now. They need to be smoothed out, ASAP. Lolz.0 -
I find it annoying when plus size clothing are named "women's".
Evidently the rest of us are not "women".0 -

THIS TOO!
Plus people trying to pressure me into eating something I don't want to. Then they say "Oh I forgot you're on a diet"
Just leave me be, I say :grumble:0 -

I think I just got chills from you using the word "proselytizes" correctly. ;-)0 -
I like when I'm out for breakfast with some friends and I am very specific and dissect what I am ordering to be low calorie, and someone will say, "you still on that?" I just say, "on what?" If you mean my lifestyle, then ya, I'm still on it.0
-
The scrutiny the food I eat receives at work. Along with the comments of “Wow, you gonna eat all that?”… All what? You mean this chicken, quinoa and salad….Yup sure am!!! Are you gonna eat all that Taco bell and chips?? Oh and the comments after I walk out when they think no one will say anything like, “ all that food and I still can’t see a difference”…Amazing!! didn’t think I did this for you or for you to even comment! ( Thanks for letting me vent ) 0

Some of my overweight friends used to tell me that I've gotten too thin. Of course, this all stopped when I started giving out my Dr.'s phone number, and told them to call him so they can straighten him out.0
-
"I can't believe you eat like that and weigh what you weigh!"
I eat "like that" (ribs, cheese and bacon fries) maybe once in 3 weeks. And I work out 5 times a week.0 -
"I've been dieting for two weeks, and the first week I lost 8 pounds! This week nothing! How can I break my plateau???!!"0
-
I've been ludicrously active over the summer, and on many occasions said "Yeah, it's incredible, I'm eating 2,500 to 3,000 calories a day and still losing weight!", without thinking how incredibly insensitive it was to petite female colleagues suffering on 1,500 calories a day and battling to lose. A friend had to have a word in the end and tell me to just shut the fudge up.
You're very sweet to appreciate their feelings once you were made aware of them. And I vote this one tops because you're sharing about your own lesson-learned. We should all take that as an example. 0
