People feel they have the right to comment on your diet? Not the happy "good for you" comments but the OTHER kind:grumble: ... At a gathering, you choose to have that SECOND cookie and you hear "Are you SUPPOSED to be eating THAT?:noway: !" Or what about when you go to the movies and your friend says "OoOoh, you got butter on your popcorn? Diet's done huh?" One of my favorites over the weekend, "You were pretty busy this weekend huh? Guess you aren't exercising anymore. Just don't go putting it all back on because it's the holidays:huh: "

Does anyone else out there just feel the need to shout from the rooftops, "THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONCERN! I HAVE LOST 22# AND YES I PLAN TO LOSE MORE... BUT AM DOING IT MY WAY, NOT YOURS!" :laugh: hahahhaha wow, the nerve of some just 'get me'.

Personally, I have lost 22# and it has taken 22 weeks for me to do so. If I am perfectly ok with that, why can't the rest of the world be? I exercise, I eat right MOST of the time, I drink my water.... as long as it is coming off, I don't care if the next 20# takes another 20 weeks. I am doing this for ME. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Thanks! Venting it out here is soooo much better than venting it to those that 'care'... like my friends, family, and dear ol grandma!

I have plenty of co-workers who have given me genuine compliments about my loss and have asked "how did you do it", but there's one who constantly offers stuff like cake, cookies or pizza, than will say "oh, I forgot, ...you aren't allowed to have that"..ugh! Finally I told her "I'm ALLOWED to have anything I want, but I CHOOSE not to eat that today" In her case though, she's a but of an attention-wh*re, and I suspect she just doesn't like hearing other people get complimented (we all know that type, right?)

I really don't get why people feel like its OK to make any assumptions.
