    "Your going to make yourself sick." Some people say to me after I've finished running.

    "No," I'd like to tell them, "I'll make myself sick by just sitting on the couch not doing anything about my health like all the rest of you are! " but I don't.

    Keep going, don't stop ( this is said to me daily)

    I am! In fact I havent stopped for 6 months and ive lost 7 kilos all off my own steam, this comment comes from a person who never sticks to their plans and gives up it's like they are telling themselves by telling me mabey they think i am working out for the two of us. The fact is im not a quitter I never have been, if I make a plan come hell or high water i get it done! It's like preaching to the choir telling me to keep going.

    You don't need that nutrition book your already thin enough ( says the book seller) Then I said, funny you should say that because 5 months ago I was alot heavier and its only through healthy eating and exercise i am the way I am now. Then the book seller attempts to make it better by giving me all her lame excuses for never working out.

    Its ok to have some fat on you, after all you are a mom now.

    Throat punch lol before I was a mom I was a model i dont like the feeling of my fat flowing in the wind bouncing around my *kitten* being bigger than the toilet seat, its just not my thing, i like the feeling of being lean, im not trying to impress im doing it for me and what i deem as acceptable for my own body.

    You don't need muscles, you look fine how you are

    I WANT muscles I want to look in the mirror and see those abs winking at me not my rolls that belong on the bakery beggin me to feed them. Its not about need or keeping up with the who ever's its about what I want for ME not about anyone else. It amazes me how others think your weight loss and journey is all about them and somehow its a reflection upon them, its not its all about me me me lol its my body i have to live in it and i want to make sure this shell is the best darn shell it can be!

    Oh I just remembered a few more;

    Your working out on a Saturday ARE YOU NUTS DONT YOU HAVE A SOCIAL LIFE?

    Yes I am completely insane i love my body and value my health i am willing to give up and WHOLE hour on a Saturday to achieve my dreams.


    Your crazy I wwouldnt call burning 1k cals fun not on a Sunday not on anyday!

    Really? Is that why you are still overweight even after many trips to the plastic surgon for lipo. News flash honey lipo only works if you keep to a healthy diet and ... wait for it.... EXCERSISE! Or the fat will come back as it has many times.

    I may be crazy in their eyes but you cant deny that putting in the extra time is paying off. I feel great, I look great and at the end of the day my migraines are gone my back hurts waaaay less and i have tons and TONS of energy i dont wake up in the morning feeling like a freight train just ran over my head I wake up with pep thinking hmmm which workout today i cant wait till dinner its stirfry with vegies i have found a love for food in a good healthy way and a love for excersie and a love for life in general no plastic surgeon can give you that, only hard work and dedication will give you that!

    My mother told me I needed to stop lifting weights or my uterus would fall out. Yes, really.

    My favorite thing people say regularly is "but what do you eat?" and I'm like "food. All of it." I think they are expecting me to say "celery and watermelon rinds".

    Q: How did you lose the weight?

    A: I've been eating less/healthier and started exercising.

    And then you get this baffled blank look.

    I've told people who continue to ask after being told that I'm doing it with proper food and exercise that I'm on crack. Shuts them right up.

    It's sad that's the answer they'd probably believe.

    Got told this yesterday....

    "Oh you're thin now, but just wait until you get pregnant. You know no one looses all the weight they gain and the people that do had surgery to look like that again."

    - So many things wrong with this statement that I don't even know where to start lol .... I know plenty of women that have had children and gone back to their normal size. I have not had a child yet, but I refuse to believe that one child is going to make me fat for life hahaha

    after I get through running hard..."walk it out!"
    I'm like, "can I breathe first?!" lol

    Also, when people stop and watch me or interrupt me while I'm running....
    Ugh, just go away!

    Some old lady used to always walk up to me while I was bench pressing and "TSK" and say "You're going to break that arm, again, with all that weight!"

    I'm fairly sure my arm is less likely to break because it's now stronger than ever.
