Dumbest comment I get told everyday about working out is...

"Wow, you do triathlons? I have ALWAYS wanted to do one but I just can't swim/bike/run."
Yeah, well, my bike, swim cap, and running shoes are made of unicorn tears and fairy dust, so I've never had to work at any of the three sports...
Loved this one! Can I borrow some fairy dust for my race this weekend? Feeling a bit might help me on the run!
Absolutely! Though, I'll warn you, this particular brand of fairy dust can't even get my run under a 10 min/mile. It was on clearance, so, you get what you pay for.

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.
So harsh, and totally incorrect, you look amazing.
Yeah. If you're not all muscle, what does all muscle look like?0 -
The worst comments are the ones that my husband gets:
"Is she sick?"
"Are you sure she's not cheating on you?"0 -

I agree I don't need a woman with muscles, all natural for me please!0

I recoil in horror whenever I hear "detox" or "cleanse".0

I have heard SO many of these comments/questions. I'm sure we can all relate :happy:
One time, my ex-friend told me I was going to end up with an eating disorder? Just because I'm in a fast food restaurant and decide to not eat and wait until I get home or not eating any JUNK FOOD with you, doesn't mean I'm not going to eat anything at all.. She knew I was being healthier and exercising but I have no idea what goes through her mind sometimes :ohwell:0 -
"I look at all these people who go to the gym and I think 'why don't you get out and think about someone besides yourself for a change. Go mow some old lady's lawn. That'll burn calories.'" (That's from my sister) While I quite agree that lawn mowing burns calories and one doesn't need a gym to lose weight.... It completely burns me up that she judges us all as selfish, uncaring human beings because we chose to go to a gym. I get great pleasure in telling her all the people I see at the gym that I know she respects and knows are service-oriented people.0

Diet related:
"Is that allowed in your diet?" "Are you still losing weight?"
Says the person next to me when I decide to eat something delicious (i.e. s'mores or chicken fajita nachos) that I have carefully worked into my day.
It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change and I refuse to cut out the things that I love (I tried that with the nachos, but it just isn't happening. They're my favorite.)
Yes, I am still losing weight. Do you really think this ONE s'more is going to cause me to put all 42 pounds back on?!
Goodness!
Exactly what I was thinking...
LIMITING not ELIMINATING...if I want a frikkin S'more, I'll have one...and like you said, it's a lifestyle CHANGE.
Eliminating all of your favorite foods is only going to make you miserable...I'm learning how to balance the good AND the bad and it's working out GREAT!
Dumbest 'exercise' comment..
"That's not HIKING!"
heard this on a few occasions...especially if I mention my 'pace', speed and/or mph
I'm NOT walking on a treadmill, or along a paved road, or any 'flat, level surface' for that matter...
I'm HIKING out in the desert boonies dodging creosote bushes and Joshua Trees, up and down over 'washes' and trekking over a terrain made up of large rocks and deep sand. My average 'pace' or speed is about 2.5mph but speed isn't everything..my focus is solely on intensity and duration....NOT speed.
Call it what you want..
I call it HIKING
Having wandered about in the desert backcountry some myself, I would say that what you're doing is CERTAINLY hiking! :happy:0 -

I'm in the minority. I don't like donuts so that GIF makes me feel like this: :sick:
BUT I went for a run today partially so I can eat fresh strawberry shortcakes for dessert. Yay.0 -
Amen OP0

Tell me more about this donut....
And a picture of said donut would be helpful in addition to the description, maybe a scratch and sniff .gif0 -
The only working out comment is: "Walking isn't exercise".
Most of the comments are food related, usually from food racists. "Oh you eat bread/rice/pasta/cake/cookies?" Yeah. If I didn't there'd be quite a few dead bodies laying around TYVM. The difference now is that I don't eat the whole thing, despite how much I want to.
Food racists is my new favorite term.0 -
Wow , donut porn.

If you lift weights your muscles will get bigger.. Some people are gullible...0

"Oh walking? Walking is not an exercise. Everyone walks all the time" Said to me by a friend who thinks unless you run marathons or puke your insides out in the gym you aren't doing enough to lose weight.
Tell that to my 500+ NET calorie burns per walk.0 -
When people ask me what my secret is for getting so big and strong I want to lean in really close and whisper something crazy like, "I drink my morning urine" or "I always keep a banana in my *kitten*"
AHAHAHAHAHA :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0
