I don't talk much about health and fitness to people, I just do my own lunches and people do see me working out and such. What I don't like is the perception some people have that taking my 15 minutes breaks and half much lunch to get in walks and a workout equates to not having work to do or having a "cushy job". The one that got me was when one of my executives said, "Man, that must be nice." I simply said, "It is nice. What is a bummer is I see a lot of people with the same opportunity that make excuses about not having time when it is just bad time management." The conversation ended there.
But I have people checking themselves and mentioning how bad whatever they are eating is when I enter a room, or how they need to get out more and do stuff. And again, I don't preach at anyone about health and fitness.
The truth is, ANY response people give, whether the kind I get or the judging mentioned above (unless warranted) is envy and jealousy. They want it but don't wanna work for it or make sacrifices.
Basically, they want to have their cake and eat it too...but not count that calories.

I love eating like a pig but exercise and be healthy. Why not be both?0

How do people pull up these threads?
Probably the search feature. On a lot of forums you're encouraged to search for previous discussions and, if they exist, contribute to them rather than start a new one.
I actually prefer that way of running a forum, but the topics people pull up seem bizarre and they seem to comment without noticing that it's old, which is why I wonder about it.1 -

They make one comment, I ramble on to them for no less than 8 minutes for every minute they speak. Even when I actually have nothing to add, I'll just go ahead and ramble on about some marginally related topic.
When they try to walk away, I follow, talk talk talking all the way. The only place they can hide is the men's room.
But I wait outside the door. Oh so patiently. I wait.
So there you have it, OP. One method for keeping those folks at bay.
Or you can just do that "flipping the middle finger" thing; it's probably faster.
(I'm lying. I don't really do it, but I'll bet it works)
This was my giggle for the day!

Luckily, I haven't had this happen to me. The only annoying this I get is my parents being worried that I'm doing too much and that I'll get injured. That's expected too, so I just keep doing what I'm doing lol
That's normal for parents they will worry about you till the day they're gone, doesn't matter your age. Just know that they love you.0 -

Of course hecwas a drug addict so maybe not the best example # although he does appear to have gotten clean.0 -
Dave Ramsey says why would you listen to the advice of broke people about your plan to get out of debt. Same thing applies.0

I'd say, So you think lifting weights (or running or whatever) is dangerous? No being weak and overweight is dangerous.0

Its funny. I run three or four times a week and have a big ugly scab on my knee right now. Did it come from running? No.I'd say, So you think lifting weights (or running or whatever) is dangerous? No being weak and overweight is dangerous.
It came from walking to my car at Wal Mart. I'm sure exercise kept the fall from being potentially worse.

Especially when this conversation has happened with the same person several times.
Seriously?
Either take my advice, or shut up about weight loss.
And yeah, I used to not talk to anyone about what I am doing, but recently everyone has been commenting on my weight loss. I can't hide that I am being healthier anymore!
This happens to me all the time!!!0 -
I have been obese most of my adult life with several ups and downs, my dad and mother in law are asking when I'm going to stop losing weight, that i have lost enough. I"M STILL OBESE by bmi. I'm SMALLER than i've been in 20 years but I find it absolutely hilarious they think I need to stop. In their defense, THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ME SMALL, so I suppose it's weird for them. I do get a bit "for the love of gawd please shut up" but the nodding and going on is probably easier.0

I'm a big believer that like dogs, cats should be leashed or somehow penned if you want them outside to be honest. I see a lot of run over or decrepit cats around here.
