Have you experienced rude comments during/after weight loss?

It's not happened to me (yet!) but my dad lost 60 pounds 3 years ago and has kept it off. Since he is a senior citizen, he's 73, he got it all the time by his friends. It made him so mad! His response was, "Where was your concern when I was fat?" That usually shut them up.

^ yeah! Not one person looked at me shocked and asked me why I was fat and eating like crap.

Wow that is just crazy !! I have had people say the same things to me , and I pay those haters no mind.. People tend to get jealous when they see someone else succeed in something they wish they had the motivation to do.

Last go around when I went from a size 13 down to a 9 my dad says if I lose any more weight I'd blow away....I'm 5' and currently back in a size 13 and 154 lbs. I should be around 110 in a size 3-5......Also I got strange looks from people I knew. Like they worried I was on drugs or something. LOL! Whatever! We'll see what I get this time

I think that's a great line!!!

I told my grandma I'd like to get down to 120 or 125. She tells me I'm "big boned" and that would be unhealthy. Hello? I'm 5'2", 170lbs and there's no proof that I'm "big-boned." Every single person in my family has been skinny (and short) at some point in their life.

My coworker told me that I didn't need to lose any weight and then preceded to tell me about how she had an eating disorder in college. I just answered back telling her about MFP and how I'm doing it healthy by going slow and eating all the nutrients my body needs.

A lot of it is probably shock, especially if you're losing quickly. Plus there's all this media hype about size zero, starvation mode, if you lose more than a 50th of a pound a month you're losing too fast and you have an eating disorder- we're in a no win situation, where it's seen sooooo unhealthy to be overweight, but also being seen as unhealthy when we lose weight!

When I lost weight before and I looked good, people in my family were asking other members if I was anorexic or something. I'm like what the heck. I finally lose some weight, and I still had like 10 lbs that I wanted to lose, and that would still put me at a healthy weight. I don't know, some people just always have to find something to talk about or find something negative to say about someone. I think it is just because they have insecurities of their own, so they point out anything they can find in someone else and say something bad about it. : /
