one thing that really annoys me about the process of losing weight is people’s ignorant minds. some people think it’s so god damn easy to lose weight, believe me when i say it isn’t. it’s ****ing hard, but it’s worth it. you can relate it to the saying “no pain, no gain” because it’s a ****ing struggle and you gain a lot from it. it irritates me that people think “don’t complain about your weight if you’re not doing anything about it”, seriously are you ****ing dumb? do you realise that things do take time? losing weight is a very long process, and it isn’t easy either. unless you’ve been through it yourself, you wouldn’t know and understand the struggle if it hit you in the ****ing face. losing weight tkes guts, determination and dedication. i’m responsible for this mess, so i’m only responsible for getting myself out of this mess. it’s my body, and it’s my responsiblities, so why do you care? losing weight is so much more than just eating “healthy” and exercising regularly, it’s more of a lifestyle change. what’s the point of losing weight and being happy with yourself if you’re just going to go back to your old ways and gain it all back? if someone wants to complain about their weight, then ****ing let them. you have NO idea what they are doing with their body, changing your body and your lifestyle takes time. losing weight does not happen over night, and neither does gaining weight. you can’t become overweight overnight, and you can’t lose ten pounds over night either. losing weight is a really ****ing difficult task and in my oppinion you should admire and respect those that take on the challenge. it means more to them than you will never know. it’s so easy just to think that food is something you put into your body to survive, but we all know it isn’t. some people have grown to love food, to use it to comfort themselves and control their emotions. what is so hard to understand about that? we all use food in our different ways. my body wasn’t programmed like this, and i hate it being like this. i’m trying to change it, and i’m succeeding. i’ve lost thirty odd pounds so far, and i’m going to keep on going until i’ve reached my goal weight. i find it hilarious that individuals complain about others moaning about their weight and automatically jumping to the conclusion that they aren’t doing anything about it regardless to the fact you cannot see their body, you don’t see their every day life and what they do. losing weight is not easy, in fact, it’s the hardest thing i’ve ever done. however, i’m so thankful i did do it. i will continue to do so until i am happy. i do not care what you personally, or anybody else thinks about my body or my weight. it has nothing to do with you. it’s me, it’s my body, my weight, my life. if you don’t like it? then **** off out of my life. so honestly, next time you see me eating a bit of chocolate, or a bit of cheesecake, why make a comment? what has it got to do with you? yes, i’m losing weight, but i can still treat myself. i’ve lost 30 pounds so far and have gone from being obese to at risk of being overweight, so if i want a bit of cheesecake – believe me, i will. you do not understand or know anybody elses thoughts, feelings or journey towards weight loss and food – NOR does it affect or bother you. it makes me laugh that people care about what others eat, what others look like, their body shape or what they weigh – grow up! it’s pathetic. so what if someone is obese, or overweight? maybe they’re happy like that. leave them be, because you’re clearly the unhappy one pointing out insecurities in others. my life is my life, it’s for me to do what i want to. it’s not an easy proccess losing weight, so before you open your mouth and make a stupid, ignorant comment, you might just want to think of what it actually takes to lose weight and KEEP it off and see if you can do it yourself.

I feel ya. Every time i start talking about my weight loss/inches lost, or how I weigh myself, someone HAS to try and tell me what to do! Some chick at my work that is overweight was trying to tell me a bunch of bull**** that just made me laugh my *kitten* off. Every time someone has something they are sharing with others they say "oh im sorry, i forgot you were on a diet". No *****, im not on a diet, I eat what I want. I eat what I want because I eat it in moderation!" Don't let people get to you. You're losing weight, and you're being successful at it. Keep on going and let the haters hate!0

I'm glad you got that off your chest. Honestly, who cares what those people say. As long as you know you're doing the best you can possibly do then that's all that matters. I respect you for it. Screw everyone else.0

It's nice to get it off my chest! I honestly tend to not give a crap what people say, think or do to me or about me. I was just mad as I had a rubbish day and it came from my sister who knows damn well the struggle I have with my weight! She knows how much it affects me and makes me feel like crap for treating myself despite her being bigger than me. Frustrating, eh?0 -

Normally, I don't give a crap what people say or think about me. In this case, it was my sister who I live with so I was obviously going to be mad. We have been pretty close throughout our childhoods and she knows the struggle that I've had with my weight throughout my life and how much it irritates and affects me. She's bigger than me, and always has been, so I just don't understand why she makes these ignorant dumb comments. We still live together with our parents as we're quite young, and everyone in this house (bar me) has such unhealthy eating habits. They literally eat so much junk, are obese/overweight and don't care. Which you know, it's none of my business, if they're happy like that then fine. However, if I've had a crap day, and I want some cheesecake and chocolate and crisps that's in the kitchen then I'm going to bloody eat it!!! Don't see why I shouldn't after I've worked so hard!0
