    Since I started "dieting" it annoys me when people ask me how I lost 40+ lbs and before I can even answer, they cut in with 'Wait, don't tell me- diet and exercise, I guess I'm screwed then!" accompanied with some overly dramatic eye-rolling and arm flailing.


    It also annoys the hell out of me when people (typically parents or Mother-in-law) decide for me how much cheese, dressing, sour cream, syrup,etc. should go on top of my food. Nothing better (sarcasm) than being handed a bowl of reasonably healthy chili that's been totally buried under what appears to be 10 saltines and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. That's 200 calories I didn't need.

    I think many people these days are seeing so many people overweight it is almost becoming normal.

    When people actually see someone with a healthy BMI they think they are "too skinny" or "unhealthy".

    My dad tells me it's silly that I buy lowfat milk when he sees me "eating fried food all the time."

    Fundamental flaws in his theory: 1) He drinks whole milk daily and he is over the age of 2. And he is not underweight by any means. 2) I drink milk every single day in my coffee and sometimes with cereal, whereas I try to limit the fried food to no more than maybe once a week and it's of a reasonable serving. He also doesn't notice the other 90% of my meals are home cooked and healthy.

    The other flaw in his reasoning is that you are choosing where to "spend" your calories. Cut back a bit in the milk department (ie lowfat) so you have a bit to spare for the fried food. It's like when I get a low-calorie drink, or just water, with a bacon cheeseburger. I'm picking where I want to take the calories and where I can satisfied with the lower. :wink:

    people tell me i'm looking 'gaunt'…

    Yeah, that one drives me nuts. My brother tells me I look anorexic. Um …. what???

    I'm annoyed when there are too many ads like "5 foods you must NEVER eat for a flat stomach" with bad graphics of rotting bananas on my page. :-)

    If you're gaunt I'd hate to see someone who really is gaunt. People are nuts.

    things people say that annoy me the most:-

    1. Just eat some more, you can run an extra mile next time (if i could run an extra mile, i would!!!!!)

    2. I dont want to lift weights, it will make me a bodybuilder (yes, thats exactly what it will do. Never mind the eating correct or being a genetic goldmine.)

    3. I want a lean athletic look so I lift light with more reps (yes! that is exactly what you should be doing)

    4. If the mid section is bothering you do some ab excercises you will reduce your belly fat. (GTFO)


    sorry for the rant!!! i guess it was bottled up for a long time
