Action offends the inactive

I just want to know what kind of person would be upset that someone wouldn't eat a cookie on their birthday? Sounds like the person who's bday it was is the one with the issues, not the one who refused.
That is all.
That's probably true, and maybe that woman has her own insecurities and battles that she is fighting. But this whole thread started with "action offends the inactive."When you decide to better yourself, you'll be immediately surrounded by people trying to stop you.Piss them off anyway. Offend them anyway.
The cookie story was used in defense of this, and I just didn't get it. I didn't see cookie b-day lady as a "sabotaging" someone's diet by offering a bite of a cookie. Maybe - MAYBE - she really is an evil witch who hates her co-worker and wants her to fail. More likely she is a lonely woman who confuses friends with co-workers, and she walked away with hurt feelings. I just don't understand the "spite" mentality of treating people who don't understand your new fitness goals as enemies. And this was a WORK environment, not a family member or friend. This isn't a friend she can delete off FB - this is someone she is going to continue to see on a daily basis. Most folks frown on creating hostile work environments.
The OP's stance just struck me as so negative and combative. I understand sticking up for your own goals, but why not do it in a more constructive manner? Why not focus on building yourself up rather than focusing on all the people trying to "sabotage" you (real and imaginary).0 -
No I think it's more like a jab at the mentality that, "I am so important that everyone's behavior is all about me."But, I suspect comments like your are a latent jab at "personal responsibility" more than having to do with the people you surround yourself with. I agree with personal responsibility. We should all take responsibility for ourselves and our own actions. Interestingly, the day that I decided to believe as the OP does, was the very same day that I took responsibility for myself and didn't let others stand in the way of my weight loss efforts.
I just adore it when people pretend like they've always been perfect, which makes me wonder why they came HERE, in the first place? I mean, most of us come to MFP because we need help, or support, or both. Just sayin'...
QFT.

Maybe she should get a cat. But not an evil mean one.

I have not experienced this. I get to make my own choices and decisions in life. I can say yes or no to what anyone politely offers at a gathering (I can share and split a food choice if I want). No one cares. No one judges. We respect each other.
In this fantasy world of which you speak where people are not mean to you and you are in full control of yourself...do you ever experience--a "glitch"?

Sabotage.0

I keep reading this trying to decide if the author is serious. I really don't see people in my life offering me food, or expressing concern, or asking me to skip a workout as them being out to get me. Nor do I think that anyone else really cares enough about my eating and fitness plan that it would make them feel bad about themselves or that they do feel bad about themselves and their choices. Maybe I just lucked out in the friends and family department.
This. My world seems to lack the totes jelly haterz that everyone else complains about.
I've encountered only a few. No one that actually matters, though. One person even laughed at me when I logged my calories after eating a couple of cookies. But my husband is on board, as well as the rest of my immediate family. I'm just lucky, I guess.0 -
Sabotage.
The greatest first post in MFP history.0 -
Good article, but my problem seems not to be the people who blatantly sabotage, but those who withhold support, those who DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL. They know you're losing the weight, they see that you're half the size you used to be, but they keep their mouths shut for some reason or another. That's the most frustrating for me.0

Sabotage.
The greatest first post in MFP history.
It's like she's a savant. She may be "the one".0 -
Because it supports a worldview with one's self at the center of the universe.Why would you want the mindset of... people hate me, they want to see me fail, they're trying to ACTIVELY make me fail, they're just jealous, as a mindset to fuel your motivation?0 -
I have to say... this article bugs me. I mean, I totally get what the author is saying, but I disagree with a LOT of it.You're not imagining it. When you decide to better yourself, you'll be immediately surrounded by people trying to stop you. Action, it seems, offends the inactive.
They'll usually be subtle about it. Offering you foods that work against your nutrition plan, often presented as gifts or treats. Expressing false worry about your supplement usage, your food choices, and the number of days you go to the gym. They'll find plausible reasons for you to cheat on your diet or skip a workout. They'll encourage you to be discouraged. They'll even get mad at you for how your positive choices are affecting their lives.
If anger doesn't work, they'll bribe, they'll mock, and they'll carefully plant seeds of negativity. All because you've decided to be better, to be more.
The line here that REALLY bugs me is this "All because you've decided to be better, to be more.
WTF? just because you choose a healthy lifestyle for yourself DOES NOT MEAN that you are BETTER THAN or MORE THAN those who have not. Their value does not lessen because you make a positive change in your life. No more than your value lessens when a friend decides to get a university degree that you don't have. Or take a class in something you don't know. It's not ABOUT better / more.It's the story of the crabs in the bucket. Put a bunch of crabs in a bucket and some will try to crawl out and avoid becoming dinner. The rest won't try to escape, but they'll reach up and pull the others down.
When you set a new goal, physical or otherwise, you have unintentionally pointed out other people's weaknesses. Their faults and shortcomings. Their inability to plan and lack of desire to express one iota of willpower. They sit around and want. You have royally pissed them off by doing.
High horse much? Your fitness goals point to YOUR success and your victory over YOUR weakness.. NOT someone else's! If you approach your health from this perspective, no WONDER people hate you. You are bettering yourself. And only yourself. And what is YOUR priority is YOURS alone, and is no better than anyone else. Just because my mom doesn't work out, it doesn't mean she has shortcomings. It means she has differing priorities... and at her stage in life, I understand her prioirities.
If anything, those who bristle and 'sabotage' may feel insecure. They may FEEL less important, but if you don't RUB YOUR SUCCESS in their faces, they will overcome that.
Yeah... let's just step over all those in our lives who are struggling. Lets walk all over them and show them how inferior they are to us with our magnificent bodies and amazing fitness levels.Piss them off anyway. Offend them anyway. Crawl out of the bucket and find new friends and better relationships.
Remember, action offends the inactive. And that's their problem, not yours.
NO!
Rather... do YOU and love those who do THEM. People get mad at Christians when they "shove Jesus down other people's throats", yeah, well how different is it when Fitness freaks go and start shoving calorie counting down our family and friend's throats.
There's a right way to share your beliefs and a wrong way. (in both areas).
I'd say... Be sensitive, be empathic, be encouraging. And quit being obnoxiou about it.
Live a healthy life, and those who want one will see, and will ask when they are ready for it.
I agree 100%. I have seen many friends lose a great deal of weight and I have never heard of them complain about people trying to prevent them or bring them down. That's not to say it never happened, but at the least I can assume it was nothing so drastic. Then this one other person I know lost a great deal of weight and would constantly write on facebook about how so many people are against her and trying to bring her down. What was the difference from my other friends who have been successful and her was most definitely the fact that she would constantly rub her success in other people's faces so I can see how it rubbed so many people the wrong way.0 -

Because it supports a worldview with one's self at the center of the universe.Why would you want the mindset of... people hate me, they want to see me fail, they're trying to ACTIVELY make me fail, they're just jealous, as a mindset to fuel your motivation?
Which can't possibly be true, since not everyone is me.0 -
Crabs?The amount of people that completely miss the take away from this article is mind blowing.

I guess I must be quite lucky then, no one has expressed concerns about my gym attendance, no one tries to tempt me with food and no one has fallen out with me, in fact it just the oposite; I get people coming up to me, saying "you're the lass that's lost loads of weight, how are you doing it" or "Wow you look great" or "I wish I had your motivation"
Most people want some of "What" I've got, they want my motivation, my dedication, my determniation and my membership to the gym.... To be honest, I'd love people to talk to me about something else, I've gained something of a celebrity status around here, EVERYONE seems to know of me, or know that I've lost weight, even people I have never seen or met before....
Action only offends the inactive if you (the active one) are trying to convert the uninterested inactive people, most people (who genuinly matter in your life) will be happy for you and want to either help you, or just let you get on with it in your own way....
My mother is the only person who says anything bad about my new found fitness and ongoing weight loss journey, she says she thinks I've lost enough weight already and that I'm obsessed with the gym, but to be honest, I put that down to the fact that I've always been overweight (until now) and she's not used to seeing me looking slimmer than her and she difinetly isn't used to me being so active and out going..... Her's is probably concern that her 40 year old baby is growing up and thinking for herself (for once) so I just let is go over my head and say nothing.... It saves upsetting her and maybe causing arguments0 -
Well this was entertaining
Oh and crabs0 -
Good article, but my problem seems not to be the people who blatantly sabotage, but those who withhold support, those who DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL. They know you're losing the weight, they see that you're half the size you used to be, but they keep their mouths shut for some reason or another. That's the most frustrating for me.
I love people who say nothing, especially men...
Just stand there and look pretty. Let me do me.

It's not luck, it's a matter of filtering out useless idiots so that they never become a part of my life.Those of you who don't have anyone in your life that seems offended when you say 'no' to something or try to judge how you eat, why you eat, what you eat, or any of that --- you're probably pretty lucky.0
although he is looking like something I could not resist if offered to me by a co-worker. Slurp!
