When people's accounts state they are under cals for the day and then I look at what they ate that day and it was nothing but crap mixed with a semi decent day and then they wonder why they still aren't dropping weight. It's like " I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THIS OR THAT" it should be more like "DO YOU LOVE THE FAT DROOPING OFF YOU?"....DING DING DING0

Some people at work know that I'm really trying hard to eat healthier. I tend to use "dislike" because hate is a very strong word. However, when someone sees me eating celery sticks, carrots, etc. and says "Are we having fun, yet?" My stomach turns inside out and yes - I HATE that phrase!!!
Cheers!

I find that people try to talk me out of eating healthy, or make me feel as if I'm starving myself. I tend to eat 5 or 6 times a day, and rather than eating the usual "cereal, a sandwich and dinner" most people around me tend to eat, I'll spread lots of protein and complex carb rich foods (such as nuts, cheese, carrots, celery, cucumber, capsicum, cold meats, fruit, the occasional sandwich etc) across my day, so I suppose when people do see me eating, it looks like i eat very little. I usually cop the 'is that ALL you're having?" or "we have food here for you to eat if you don't have your own"

Any time Don! As long as you know you're doing the best possible for your body, what other's think shouldn't matter. I actually find (being a uni student) that others will try to sabotage my healthy lifestyle if they find it threatening to their social life (i.e. I'm not going to the pub every night, not going out for lunch/dinner etc) it's a little bit sad actually.0 -

After reading your comments, I've come to the conclusion that you are a strong person who will not sway off the main road to appease others. I'm glad I had this opportunity to chat with you! Please accept my friend request so we can keep in touch.

Haha, I totally understand being in uni and having people sabotage you because it's threatening to their social life. "Why didn't you bring money? don't you want to drink? no!?! well I'll buy you something then!" or "I'm really craving such and such, lets go to (insert name of fast food place)" and then get mad when you suggest you have plenty of food at home and that you could cook a healthy dinner with them. lol ugh!
Also, I am doing eat stop eat, which involves short term, intermittent fasting which a lot of people are against (ahh, deprivation! how could I?!!). However, I see it as a lifestyle and not a crash diet, yet when people look at my diary they freak out because I don't have a lot of calories on a particular day. I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't do my research on it and couldn't carry it on long term, thank you very much! plus I'm not only doing it for weight loss. end of story. So ive made my diary private so no one freaks out on me anymore about it!!0 -
People tell you what you should weight, or that you're skinny. Just because someone else who is 5'4" is happy at 160 doesn't mean I am. *shrugs shoulders*
Otherwise I pretty much love MFP, the people are pretty awesome and it nice to see people who are just starting out as well as people who have been here for quite some time!

yes!! thank you! I have people that freak on me about my goal weight being 130 lbs, but I'm only 5'3". That's a very healthy weight and will still leave me with "meat" even! lol0 -

That sounds EXACTLY like my life haha. Especially the 'what do you mean you're not drinking?? I'll buy for you then!" part. Oh god forbid I don't get wasted guys. But then it's definitely deeply ingrained in the aussie culture, and it's usually an issue for me every weekend. I got so sick of it now I just drink vodka lime soda, and drink it slowly. I sometimes try to sneak in the 'but I'm the designated driver' and the response is usually always 'but you can crash at mine!' uhhh nooo thanks.
Buuuut being an aussie I still do drink most weekends.. I just keep it to vodka lime and soda usually and don't go over board.
It is frustrating when people criticise you because your goals don't match up to theirs. I'm a big believer in minding my own business :-)0 -
oh. . .this is probably a bad idea.
"If you eat 1199/weel calories you'll gain 10 lbs of fat and satan will punch you in the face. If you eat 1201 then you'll lost 5 lbs immediately and win the lottery." 1200 is not a magical dietary number.
"muscle doesn't weigh more then fat. 1 lb is 1 lb." except that 1lb of fat is 4x larger then 1 lb of muscle. I guess we have to qualify it every single time now.
There's also;
-extra carbs make you fat.
-extra fat makes you fat.
-food after 6pm makes you fat
-lifting more then 2 lbs makes you Arnold
I swear I don't look for trouble or try to cause drama. It just finds me and I just can't keep quiet.
Well said....and the part where drama finds you, lol...that happens around here. Sometimes I comment on something, and it gets turned around and starts WW5!!0 -
I dislike it when people bash others for taking a cheat day. Make ya deal.... You do it your way and I will do it mine. Just sayin...
I agree..we should not "bash" one another for "slipping up" occasionally. And cheat meals help me not fail...Awhile back I had a cheat "day" a week, and that, well, was not a good idea...kinda made me fall off the healthy wagon, and that ticked me off!
I like the You do it your way, and I do it mine...And we can all just be there to encourage one another! After all, this is an amazing site for encouragement and new ways to change our lifestyles, rather than DIEt!!:bigsmile:0 -

You guys touched on all mine...
*Bashing for cheat day - almost EVERYONE has a cheat day or moment at sometime! Get off the high horse
*Not searching - I see SO SO SO many posts about heart rate monitors, Jillian Michaels, etc. :laugh:
*Crap talking forum trolls - You know these people...smart a** comment for everyone's opinion, sometimes crude, sometimes downright mean and nasty. We're lucky we don't live in the same town...I'd smack that attitude right out of your mouth!
and lastly....
*People who talk smack about the website. I hear people ALL THE TIME saying they aren't getting support they need, or don't have any motivation or someone is being mean to them. If you can't find support on here...you can't find it anywhere...if someone is being a jerk...de-friend them and block them.0 -

Very well worded!0 -
People without enough confidence to use their own photo in their profile yet all they talk about in the forum’s are how fit and athletic they are and that their method of eating/exercising is the best way yet they fail to show themselves. PROVE IT!0

yes!! thank you! I have people that freak on me about my goal weight being 130 lbs, but I'm only 5'3". That's a very healthy weight and will still leave me with "meat" even! lol
OMG I am so sick of this too. I am 5'5 and at 170 not a healthy weight but many of my co-workers start out and ask how much I lost and when I tell them they are shocked but then ask how much more I have to go. When I tell them 30 more lbs is my goal and I might readjust at that point and go for 130 over all, they act like I am going to be too skinny and unhealthy. 130 for a small framed 5'5 person is not too skinny, it is healthy. I could go on more but then my grammer would probably go down hill and annoy other people.0 -
I hate when someone complains that they are fat and cry about it, but then go eat a cheesecake. Pretty much not doing anything about it and make excuses. Then DON'T complain! Especially to me.
I hate when friends and family try and get you to eat some sort of crap that you really don't want to eat. Am I depriving myself of cheesecake for the rest of my life? No, I am not. But right now is NOT the time. How is me eating a piece of cheesecake going to help you?
I hate when people say eating processed foods is going to make you gain your weight again. This was said on here already, but eating some processed foods isn't going to MAKE you gain your weight back. I eat 100 calorie chips or cookies when I want chips. I don't gain any weight from that. As long as you're still watching your calorie intake, you're fine!
I hate when people say you will also gain your weight back from fast food. Eating taco bell or McDonalds once in a blue moon isn't going to kill you. What is going to kill you is craving these foods for the rest of your life and one day, snapping and going on a crazy binge. Do what keeps you sane.
And not all Beachbody Coaches are trying to shove Shakeology and other products down peoples throats. People who do that, give the good Coaches a bad rep and I HATE THAT.0 -
lose & losing vs loose & loosing
