Annoying things people on a diet do.

Still1Workoutatatime

Constantly break their diet and say "I shouldn't really be eating this..." Then complain when the diet fails.

THIS!

Pizza is a food group right?


Edit. I meant FOOD not foof!

Foof (Foofie) is my cat's name, and she probably does think pizza is a Foof group! :laugh:

My friends don't annoy me. I support them, instead of bashing them on the internet. :brokenheart:

Make generalizations about other people eating plans or Diets or what ever it is they are doing to try to lose weight and be healthier..

Jestinia

people that eat special k bars throughout the day because "It's a diet food"

You want to be really annoyed? There is a woman in Great Britain who has eaten nothing but Special K morning, noon, and night, for 7 years!

People who annoy me are the ones who really can eat whatever they want in moderation. I'm glad my son turns out to be one of them, though. He won the genetic lottery or something. When I was attempting that whole 'eat what I want in moderation' diet last time, I'd buy a tub of his favorite ice cream and a tub of my favorite. His would stay in the fridge two weeks, mine was lucky to last two days. And there is some candy on his desk that has been there so long it's probably past expiration and needs to be thrown out. Junk food just doesn't seem to call to him like it does me. Lucky kid!

I like you . I also don't feel like I'm on a diet. I've been eating what I want for the most part (it was hard for me to say no to ice cream, but I did say no lol) and just counting the calories. My friends are very supportive of me and some have offered to take me to the gym. I'm way too fat to go to a gym and honestly I wouldn't even know what to do when I got there.

If you have a friend that's annoying you, the mature thing to do is to address the issue. Don't attack the person, but use plenty of I's describing how you feel. "I feel ___ when you ___". This sounds alot better than "You piss me off when you ___". Open up the line of communication and politely and clearly state what annoys you. You're not suppose to be at war with your friends! That's not what friends are for. On that note, happy new year :drinker: .

In an unfortunate coincidence, some places in the UK use foof colloquially to refer to something I will let people google should they wish to.

I used to work in an office where there were females only. Every. single. One of them bar me were on a diet of some sort.

Not only did they talk about it, all the time, every day, they would weigh themselves in the office every single Monday morning and the first hour would be diet talk. After about a month of this they would then start to moan that none of them are loosing any weight at all and started to try to get me to join in. Once I pointed out that the 2 bottles of cola they each went through and using the car to drive to the local shop 2 streets away, every day, was maybe a huge factor in them not loosing weight they turned nasty and would comment on anything that I had to eat, drink or think of having.

Now, I'm normally a laid back person but once you start to annoy me and start to comment on my food, I will start to do very petty things to piss you off. :devil: So, every day, until I left 5 months later, I would go to work early and be the first in the office....with a bacon sandwich. You could still smell it 3 hours later. I would then leave chocolate bars and opened packets of crips/chips on my desk...then the best bit, I'd bring in the most chocolatey, mouth watering cake topped with cream I could find and then watch them all say "Oooh, I shouldn't" as they have enough for 3 servings each.

I left them on the Monday just so I could hear what their weigh in would be. They'd each put on around 7-10lbs each. It was beautiful.

Before anyone else says it, yes, I'm evil but I'm so good at it. I've got my seat reserved in hell already. :laugh:

So what you're saying is, when people get on MFP and complain that they're being sabotaged by their coworkers, and then we all come in and say "No no that's ridiculous, no one is sabotaging you" they've been right and we've been wrong all along? :devil:

How can it be sabotage? I didn't force food down them, I just....er.....tested their will power by leaving temptation in my wake. :bigsmile:

Brilliant and evil!

Goes to the problem of weight loss.

An oldie but a goodie....You can't cheat an honest man!

Thank you. :blushing:

When people on diets know that I'm losing weight and say things like "should you really be eating that ice cream sundae?" Yes, yes I should.

My MIL and her sisters do that to me. I remind them eating whatever they think is bad for me is what keeps me from stabbing people. Here's some more of MIL's logic: daily nags her son (my hubby) about his being fat, yet treats him like the family garbage can for leftover food.

Get upset when I explain how I lost weight just by reducing my calories and exercising more.

I'm a total smartass about it actually...I lean over real close to them like it's some HUGE secret that nobody else can know an whisper in their ear, "I eat less calories and exercise more...Shh, don't tell anyone".

lol my friend told me to tell people that I have a magic pill and they too can lose weight for the low, low price of $39.99! Then give them a tic tac and take their money

devil_in_a_blue_dress

Get upset when I explain how I lost weight just by reducing my calories and exercising more. Then say they're special or for women it's harder yada yada yada...

It's always hard for me.

Herbalife or any other fad dieter in general thinking it's a quick fix. A few lassies in my office are doing it and it's costing them a fortune for pretty much nothing and they've lost a maximum of 14lllbs after 5 months on it and it's costing them £150 a month of their troubles lol

Yup. I have a longtime friend who has tried all of the schemes like Herbalife, Body by Vi, etc, and she usually loses about 20-30 lb in a year then gains it back quickly. Then tries the next thing. I find it sad!!

Meanwhile, when she asks my best friend and I for advice we give it to her and she never listens. I swear she thinks we lost weight either by magic or taking illegal drugs. I lost weight being more active and logging on MFP. My bff lost weight by changing her diet and medication because she was diagnosed with diabetes. But friend #1 above is still like "I think I'm going to do these shakes...it's only $140/month...sounds good right?"

smh

I'm still irked by when my sister, who is also trying to lose weight, said that her family had a lifestyle change while I was on a diet.

Her "lifestyle change" is drinking a 150 cal protein shake for breakfast and lunch.
My "diet" is counting calories, with no other food restrictions applied.
Whatever. I'm just going to be over here eating my eggs and bacon.

This. What ever crazy crap people invent is now being billed as a "lifestyle change".

"Oh great, you can do paleo for the rest of your life."
"Oh great, you can eat low fat for the rest of your life."
"Oh great, this is a lifestyle change that you are just kicking off with wrapping your body in plastic and taking ephedrine."

Mischieviousme777

complaining that they cannot drink water because its "gross"

I do not get it.. ...just chug the **** and get it over with its not like it tastes like buckleys cough syrup or something

So. Much. THIS!!!

Bugs me when people starting on the new year, or anytime really, start checking in at the gym everytime they work out and posting it on FB

Say that they're eating a ton of salads but failing to say that they haven't lost a pound because the salads are smothered with fried chicken strips, cheese, croutons, and topped with ranch dressing. :noway:

What others choose to eat annoys you?

Not in general. But people 'on diets' do tbh

The pizza comment was tongue in cheek.

I knew the pizza comment was tongue in cheek. Pizza is so good.
(not a vegetable, but damned good)

Depends on how many vegatables you put on it

linsey0689

Tell me that all they eat is and one or two things like apples or cottage cheese. Then go on to tell me there friend lost of bunch doing it.

Or when people think I'm on a diet because I have quite a bit of weight some people have ask me if that's how I lost my weight eating pizza as I'm enjoying a slice. Then they go on saying I wouldn't ever eat pizza because their diet is no carbs.

Last one, people ask what diet I'm on. I always say something like I'm not dieting I'm just living healthier... eating right, counting m calories and exercise. Then people go on to say They hate exercise and can't stave themselves just to loose weight.

The lack of patience annoys the hell out of me.

"I've only lost 2lb this week, I'm so annoyed! I lost 4lb last week!" :huh:

"I can't possibly do what you do! 1lb a week? That's so slow!"

What makes me laugh about the latter one is that when I then ask them how long they've been yo-yo dieting for and they say years, suddenly x number of weeks to hit their goal doesn't seem so bad.

ITS NOT A DIET ITS A LIFESTYLE!

Phaedra2014

Defining themselves in terms of what they've eaten: I've been good today vs. I've been bad today.

i seriously detest that type of talk.

I used to be impatient (?) too. That's why I am here now....lol.

What annoys me much is when someone really thin keeps saying that they are fat...even though they are a perfect weight for their height. I tell them to tone and they are like "I DON'T WANT MUSCLES I WANT A FLAT STOMACH AND LOSE FAT". fjedngskegnmegkrn.
They clearly don't understand what toning is....

Edit: Spelling.

"Oh no, I don't eat -that- kind of food..." Okay well, more for me, thanks!
