Can I use him as a punching bag

tater8589

Ok so my husbands buddy (also a temp roomate until he deploys) has discovered I'm 'on a diet' and just has to tell me the 'heathy way to lose weight'. Telling me how I need to lift weights, run, and eat healthier... I'm military too, I gained the weight because of birth control not bad diet or doing nothing (hell, i run no less than 6 miles a week) and I eat healthier than he does, plus I don't have to have a freekn' 6 pack or more every weekend (I may have 1 or 2 drinks when we have company over). GRRR, also I might be able to use my own weights if they werent trapped in his room! Gahh! Some people.

Sorry, but I had to vent.

Men are way different when it comes to aging, losing weight, and gaining weight than women and it is not fair! I hear ya! Is your husbands roommate single? Cause usually if they are insensitive theyre usually single! LOL!

No worries - understand your frustration.
He's just an *kitten*...

Either let it slide like water off a duck's back - Or pick out some physical attribute(s) of his and.......... attack!! :laugh:
Although this could hurt his delicate pride and cause things to escalate...

You're in control of you, not him - That's all there is to it!

He just got a girlfriend, however he's been single for the past 2 yrs, normaly he's a great guy, but I don't need him telling me how to lose weight the "healthy way" I've always been active and healthy, but like you said we age differently. Thanks for understanding

Or maybe he's just trying to help? Just because his advice is unsolicited doesn't mean that it's wrong or that his intentions aren't sincere.

My unsolicited advice is just to sit down with him and say, "Look, friend, I appreciate that you're trying to help me but I really don't need your advice on this one and I'd appreciate it if you'd stop offering it."

Or you could just rant on MFP.

Lol, I told him how I felt, but its still a lil irritating. What got me was he was acting like I was starving myself or purging..yuck. And I really want my weights back from him. Its also annoying when we go out to eat and he looks at what I order and says "Can you eat that?" We have all heard that at least once and its never not annoying lol.

Just to make sure I don't offend anyone... I would feel the same way if my best friend Tiff had said that. OH and the next cheeseburger that gets waved infront of me gets eaten, lol.

I LOVE the jokes..........you have a good sense of humor......I have been away for awhile and gained back a couple of pounds, must be the 1/2 of doritos and 1/2 giant jar of chi chi's salsa I ate last night. LOL Any way I've gone back to school and it keeps me pretty busy. I am going to try a Zumba class and perhaps Tai Chi again. I haven't been using my total gym lately either, lack of motivation I guess. But if I can't motivate myself who can?
