Seriously? Creep 101. Seriously though?
Ya. Was totally like, "And here you see the wild weightlifter girl in her natural habitat. Eating Talenti gelato straight out of the container. Fascinating. "
You made my day!!! Like a circus monkey!!
Lol my family does this all the time!! But I think its because they care and I dropped like nearly 20lbs (part from depression/part from wanting to be healthier) over about a 6 month span-which I consider a healthy time frame but I guess its just moms.
I think next time you should bring out the jar of peanut butter and a spoon! You'll keep 'em busy for hours
I'll make it extra interesting and break out the Nutella, too. Spoon in each hand!0 -

I love my husband to death and he is my number 1 supporter! But, when I want a dang Cadbury Caramel Egg, by gosh I am allowed to have one! Yes, I worked extra hard at the gym or skipped a snack during the day just so I could enjoy that one treat! Don't give me heck over it!!
BTW, what an odd situation!! I'm sorry your family isn't supportive and downright rude/odd

I feel like perhaps you should grab the lids and bang them together like cymbals as such said circus monkey would be doing.
Uck- that's really unsat. And awkward for sure. I feel for you.
I hate when people make comments- only because it's so OLD and it happens a lot.
Fortunately I'm one of the fittest people in my office- and it's harder for people to make comments when they know what i look like. It becomes more of a challenge if you are coming from being over weight- or under weight.
Speaking of- HA- you think LOSING weight is hard- try gaining- people look at you like you have a penis on your forehead. it's just ridiculous.
Mostly my answer is "I have a 300 lb dead lift- and my *kitten* looks better than Kim Kardashian or J.Lo... so- clearly something is working- but in the interest of fairness-did you have anything else you'd like to add in the "helpful comments" box? I'm taking suggestions-mostly because I'm cheap and I hate buying toilet paper."

Carry on

OP, please tell me you actually said that in front of them!!!!! Because it's genius and hopefully something like that would inspire a tiny bit of humility in them.0 -

Haha, you know it's one of those things that having lived with them my whole life, I thought behavior like this was acceptable. The longer I've lived separately, the more I realize how odd they truly are lol0 -

Ironically, I am working on my first bulk. I've actually been driving my husband insane by our steadily growing grocery bill lol
But that's an incredible comeback. 300 lb deadlift is freaking badass btw.

LOL-yes- the food bill goes up- I buy ice cream, oreos and milk to fill the gap- eff eating chicken and veggies for that much- but I'll be quiet happy when I start cutting (cranky and hungry- but least I'll have more walking around money!!!)Ironically, I am working on my first bulk.

LOL in the interest of honest and fairness:- for the purpose of THAT discussion- I round up- it's only 285. For people who know nothing and insist on giving me **** about something- I just round. I have no shame in stretching the truth to them.
The reality is- I work hard for my body- and I will absolutely- without question - or hesitation- flaunt my results in your face if you challenge me or give me crap about what I"m doing.
Point is: I'm doing *kitten*- you are just talking *kitten*. get to stepping *kitten*.
I don't mind talking with like minded lifters and other people about it- but these people who talk like that- or attack-snark- challenge you-food shame you- whatever- they don't want to talk- they want to make you feel bad. it's a different situation. so- both barrels of vainity and snarkiness come right back at ya.0 -

That was a really crappy/creepy thing for them to do! Often family members seem to have no boundaries.
I can only imagine that your sister meant that you have a "fat" person's appetite (RUDE) for such a small body.
Your family likely believes your current size is maintained through nothing short of magic and thus set out to prove it by "gifting" you with food items they were certain thin people people must never eat. Seeing you actually eat it, they were certainly awe-struck. I mean, you performed a miracle before their very eyes.0 -

Ya, I've been trying to be good about discretionary calories but that means eating bags of apples, oranges, and like $20 bucks of Greek yogurt a week.
haha
Meh, rounded or not you're still impressive to me and I agree about not being afraid to flaunt when people question or try to belittle. It seems unfair to be treated like that when you know what it means to be successful and those who just have nothing better to do start nagging.0 -

And yes when people know I am dieting they try all sorts of sabatoge bringing me treats of cookies and brownies and when I go out to eat with them they speak for me lol told a waitress once no she cant have any dessert she is on a diet people!!!! smh0

That would annoy me so bad if someone spoke for me!♡
Two weeks ago, my husband and I went out to eat at Red Lobster. I ate all the cheddar bay biscuits and when I ate my lunch so quick the server couldn't even bring me back my refill on drink in time he got to the table and goes, "Wow, you really liked it huh?" O.o. Yes, people of all sizes can eat food!!0 -

Right? As much as I wish I were magical... I'd been overweight for about 6 years, so I assume it's going to be a little until people get used to it but it sure is irritating!0 -
It's just ignorance. For so many years people have been told that XX food is what makes you fat, with a complete disregard for actual nutritional science.
But yeah, I get it too. On the rare ocassion I go for a fish n chips, my mother always needs to ask if I've given up tracking.0 -
When I was first starting out, I'd get comments from both Hubs and Mom along the lines of "are you allowed to eat THAT on your diet" and I calmly explained that I'm not on a diet and I can eat whatever I damn well please. Thankfully with time they figured out I knew what I was talking about since they saw me eating this way and still losing weight.
Hubs is slowly learning what it means to eat healthy but still has a long way to go. He questions me about eating peanut butter but never questions when I'm stuffing my face with wings and pizza. SMH
I getthe same thing lol0 -
just the "Can you eat that?s" that are inevitable. My answer: yes I can, and yes I will.0

I'd say between the two of us, we have some pretty excellent stories about this type of thing.
Seriously, I've been in a very similar circumstance. Both of my parents have even separately told me "You don't have to starve to lose weight." And all I can think is, "Uh... I know? I'm not starving now, nor have I ever been..." But I'd always been larger than average growing up, typically the chubby girl of the group, etc. So much so, in fact, that there was a pretty serious preoccupation with food in our house; we would frequently be trying this or that new fad diet or encourage me to take smaller portions (but insist I drink a full 16 ounce glass of skim milk everyday because FYTW), encourage less video game playing and more sports (which I hated), and all other sorts of little "nudges" here and there. But nothing ever worked.
So I think when I started actually losing weight they were just concerned about my health. They wanted to know that I was still being "healthy," even though they only have vague and inconsistent concepts that make up their ideal "healthy" diet. They might not bring up the idea of an ED, but when someone radically changes their lifestyle in any capacity, most peoples' first thoughts are filled with worry.0 -
This used to happen to me a lot, during my weight loss and after I'd lost 70lbs. I got down to 180 and people would still comment on my choice of food. And it never came off as questions of genuine concern ... it always came off as very cynical and smug, like they had just been waiting for me to fail so they could feel better about themselves and their lack of willpower.
"I thought you were on a diet." -- "Should you be eating that?" -- "Are you allowed to eat that?"
There's nothing that pisses me off more than that. When I was fat and eating crap, no judgement from anyone ... but as soon as I drop 70lbs and have a cupcake, everyone gets all smug and acts like they're better than me.
Usually I'd just let it roll off my back, because I knew what I was doing. But there came a time when there was a pot luck, and I took a big piece of cake, and a rather large co-worker (who always did this stuff) goes "hmm, should you be eating that?"
And I responded with: "Should you? Because I just lost 70lbs, and you're still f***ing fat."
After that, I think people got the hint that I was really tired of the attitude.0 -
Every time I eat period, people think I fell off the wagon. People are shocked when I tell them I eat 5-6 meals a day and they almost fall out of their chairs when they see what I eat on a workout day! LOL it's ok though. I forgive them for their ignorance because I was once ignorant too. I take the time to educate them and hope they learn something from me 0

You put exactly what I was thinking into words. It does sound like the OP's family is cynical and smug AND actively trying to find ways to make her fail so they can feel better about themselves. It's sad that they are wasting their efforts on sabotage instead of taking a step back and learning from her experience.
Congrats to you both on your progress!0 -
How do you eat ice cream every day? It's so cold...Hot chocolate please (at least until it stays above 60) for more than 2 days in a row)
Yeah that sounds upper awkward.0 -
My mother in law will sometimes make remarks like 'Well, I didn't stock the fridge with healthy stuff, just normal food'. I eat all kinds of foods, I just don't always want to eat when I visit her. -_-0
