"you're a guy - weight loss is easy for you" is going to get punched in the head.

    "It's simple, just burn more than you take in"

    I call BS. It MATTERS how your body works. If I went purely by the numbers....I would weigh 130lbs.

    Muscle weighs more than fat. Doesn't ANYONE remember the old, "Which weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks?" They WEIGH the same. One is denser than the other. It's a matter of volume. Not weight. *NERD ALERT*

    I also detest that one!

    "You make it sound so easy...I could never do that", needs to be smacked up-side the head.

    I teach elementary school and I can't even tell you how many times I hear this on Wednesdays.


    Also- I hate when people say "totes" instead of totally. It really "grinds me gears", to quote a great philosopher of our time.

    "I don't know how you do it... I could NEVER eat like you, I like food too much!"... ugh. That's why you'll never be anything but what you are now.

    "OMG...you're crazy!" as a response to my race calendar for next year. No, I'm not crazy. I just enjoy running as cardio.

    "It is what it is...", deserves a throat punch!

    A lot of people say this angers them. Does context matter? If a person says it to you, it bothers you? But, does it bother people if they say it about themselves? Sometimes I am telling people things that are difficult for them to hear (about my own life), and in order to sort of tone down the person's need to do something (even though there is nothing that can be done), I will say something along the lines, of, "Well, it is what is and I have to accept that and just move forward with my life". This is much more comforting to me (because it's true) than when people rush in to say that God will take care or it or Karma will take care of it or there will be justice in an afterlife. Because I don't believe in any of that. They say that to defend themselves against feeling the feelings. It does not bring me any comfort. But, it does cause me to nod and agree with them because those are things that it's considered kind of mean to challenge. I know they are saying it "to be helpful", even though it isn't.

    So for me the next person that says "Everything Happens for a Reason"....goes on this list.
