    I would refuse to be self deprecating about it (saying I ate sooo much pizza last night). Instead say"is THAT what YOURE eating?"

    hahaha! Love that response!!!

    Use science to tell them. You said it, "I'm 5'2 and at 125lbs. I'm on the heavy range for my height. I'm losing weight because I would rather be in the middle of the BMI scale and also so my jeans would fit! My jeans feel rather snug and would like to get back my original weight of 119lbs. " Tell them just that. The medical community says you should be lower and that's what you want.

    In the early days of my weight loss plan I did get those kind of comments. I got "Look who is eating healthy!". It hurt my feelings and made me feel angry. Anger is a strong emotion so I used it to catapult me forward and strengthen my resolve to become healthier.

    Now it's" wow that salad looks great...what do YOU put in your salads?". I figure I won. :) and the comments no longer sting.

    My pet hate is the "go on! One won't hurt" .....well if you add up all those ones that's how I got myself in this state! I just tell people I need to move more and eat less rubbish, its about changing my lifestyle and enjoying an occasional treat rather than it being an unhealthy norm.
