    Yesterday I got told that I needed more meat on my bones.

    I just ate 4 pieces of cake, and got a "you need to slow down" by the same person.

    People are funny. But that cake was damn good.

    That is seriously rude, clearly those unfortunate people have yet to discover the myriad advantages to physical activity! I'm trying to lose so that is part of my motivation, but I am also just downright happier and more energetic when I exercise consistently. I've noticed that certain people who know about my weight loss go out of there way to push unhealthy foods on me. Project much? Lol. I'm at a place where I just feel bad for them.

    More diet related, and a recent one too:

    "I don't think you're eating enough, and you're getting too thin. It'd be different if you were all muscle, but you're not."

    Straight through the heart. I'm still trying to recover from that one.

    I've heard worse gym comments but your consistency rocks: ) :) Staying strong for efficient throat punching force seems legit ;))

    I don't know about "everyday," but someone did once tell me women shouldn't lift more than 20 lbs or they'll get hernias.

    I lift more than ten times that, but no hernias yet. Maybe my body is just a faulty model.

    .....only been asked this once and I was so upset by it!!!!

    "Are you cheating on your fiance and that's why you're losing weight for someone else?" So in order to look and feel better I must be screwing someone OTHER than my significant other.

    "Why dont you start working out after you lose the weight, that way it will be easier!"
    Sure because i want to be thin and squishy with excess skin....that would make me feel really sexy!

    My overweight friend commented on my running the other day "Oh, I'd love to join you but I'll only walk. Slow. Very slow." ummm...no thanks! I enjoy my alone running time thank you!

    I also told her I go very early in the morning and she said "Well, if I go with you then YOU owe me breakfast!" What???? I am NOT begging you to go, you brought it up yourself. SERIOUSLY!!!!?????

    "Be careful lifting all that weight, you're gonna hurt your back!"


    No I'm F***ing not! YOU are going to hurt YOUR back and probably while lifting something that isn't even heavy because you have bad posture, poor form and no muscular spinal support.

    I get this one a lot, " Do protein shakes work?"

    WTF do you mean "do they work?" It's not a drug, it's food! Does your sandwich work?
