smart comebacks needed

Smart comeback... In a few months I will have lost weight and YOU won't have gained any IQ p[points

Your avatar pic is cracking me up! It's like that bird is saying exactly what you typed. LOL!

You do you and I do me!

If it's people outside of MFP, I don't tell them any numbers. If they ask how much I've lost, I tell them I lost just what I had planned to lose in that amount of time. Remember, the tortoise beat the hair. Slow and stead wins the race. If they ask how much you lost tell them, "obviously I lost enough for you to notice" then change the subject.

There's always this:


But my favorite is:

Love It!

schelly81

Let em work, let em live...

55, stay alive...

ain't skeered...

never been skeered...

ain't gonna be skeered...

can't get skeered...

Maybe the dingo ate your baby...


that's really the only comebacks I can think of, use them wisely.

deep man, deep

I've heard from a couple people that I'm not losing fast enough. I'm averaging 1.5 pounds a week, and have lost almost 20 in the last 3 months. It makes me so angry to hear that I should have lost more for all the effort I'm putting in, or I eat too much or should eat 1200 max, cut everything out and go cardio crazy. I think my favorite is when someone they know lost 20 pounds in the first month doing xyz, I should try it. I'm not hangry, I eat min 1500 calories, usually more like 1800-2000. Workout 4 or 5 days a week. Why are people such know-it-all @ssholes?

What should I say to them except to quote the dude " Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man."

Nice quote! Check out my ticker :drinker:




:flowerforyou:

But anyway, I don't discuss this kind of stuff with coworkers and I only talk about weight loss or fitness with friends if they ask. Honestly, it never ends well. For whatever reason, the second I tell anyone I am trying to lose weight or going to the gym, they immediately know more than me about nutrition/fitness/everything and tell me what I should or shouldn't do. It's easier to just not discuss it, especially with the sedentary, overweight, "do as I say not as I do" crowd I'm referring to.

Smart comebacks don't work as well as consistent ones. Every time it comes up, say, "Thank you for your advice. I am happy with my weight loss." Repeat it every time, using the same words and the same tone. Eventually people feel stupid and walk away or change the subject.

I never have smart comebacks. I'm afflicted with "l'esprit d'escalier" where you come up with the perfect response three days later.

But I wanted to tell you that you're doing GREAT and you should keep on keeping on.

This is perfect on every level.....and....^^^^

This is totally me......LOVE the French term for this instead of the smack to the forehead that I usually give myself.

Your way is the RIGHT way for you. One of the most amazing things about losing weight is that ALL of a sudden EVERYONE is an expert.

Well done on your success. :flowerforyou:

All the best

You could just do what my sweet southern grandma did:

"That's nice honey *pat on head* Bless your heart"

I'm pretty sure that's polite southern lady speak for "You're an idiot and I hate you"

Tell them you're trying to lose slowly so your boobs don't get all saggy, then make this face at them:

Confused look: "I'm sorry, were you under the impression we had the kind of relationship where this is up for discussion?"

Congrats on your steady weight loss- that's fantastic! Sounds like you've ready found what works for you to be losing consistently every week.

I'm in the South right now and I'm learning from the Southern belles in my community. What I've heard them say is something along the lines of, "Thanks for your advice. I feel great about what I'm doing." (followed by a sweet, if somewhat inauthentic, smile and eye contact) Or, similarly if folks say that you've lost too much weight and should stop trying to get healthier, "Thanks for your concern. I feel great." Again, with the big smile.

It's a little passive-aggressive, but it ends the conversation.

You could always say, "How nice for you!"

Have you ever heard the joke. A southern belle was always saying, "how nice for you". One day somebody asked her why she was always saying that to people. She replied, well I used to say "I don't give a f***", but then I learned to say, "How nice for you!" instead.

You go, girl! You could always find the humour and ask them, what should I do instead of losing weight like I already am? The key is to take the weight off slooooowly so it stays off. Sounds like you're doing an amazing job! Kudos! You're inspiring!

Put your finger in your nose and mumble "you're not getting away this time."
Or drop an explosive protein fart and walk away.

Literally crying with laughter at my desk....... :sad: :laugh:

"My weight loss is not up for discussion."

And make sure you never bring it up. If they bring it up, repeat the statement.

paulawatkins1974

Look at them and say "Opinions are like azzholes, everyone has one and no one wants to hear yours! Thank you for your concern."

Or, If I wanted to hear from an a**hole I'd FART

I agree with stop discussing it with them and stop putting so much energy into the words of those who don't know jack.

^^^^^This! Don't discuss private matters with co-workers or anyone else AND don't put it on Facebook.

trustymutsi

Didn't have time to read all the posts, so hopefully I'm not copying anyone.

I'd go with sarcasm.

"Yes, your RIGHT!! I should just give up right now, stuff my face, and double my weight. That would be MUCH better."

or

"Yes, your RIGHT!! I should just try a fad diet where I eat some insanely limited foods, lose a ton of weight fast, and then gain it all back in a month. SUPER."

agman90

" Well, I'd much rather be a slinky than a yo-yo.....yo-yo's go down then are yanked back up again, and sometimes smack you in the face. Slinky's continue to go down and stay when they are at their resting place. And when I'm done, I'll look 'slinky'.


or "Gravity just likes me better".

Comebacks are so 3rd grade.
