    i'll start tomorrow.
    i can only eat twigs and berries if i wanna lose weight.
    this cardio should cancel out my fast food.
    i just need to start working out again. (and not adjust their diet)
    i'm waiting to get motivated. (whaaaa?)
    i need the right amount of sleep before i can go to the gym.

    When I share my success with real life friends "You're so lucky!" .... what does luck have to do with it? I'm working my butt off for this!

    From my mom "I'm eating healthier than you, I'm getting SALAD, and you're getting MEAT"... Yes, you are getting salad covered in dressing, cheese, and croutons, with breadsticks on the side. Probably double the calories I'm getting, and my meals are so much more satisfying :)

    Forgot one more: My boyfriend's parents went on for about 10 minutes about how I ordered apples for the side instead of fries at a restaurant. Seriously, they kept coming back to the topic. "Why would you get apples?" "I didn't even know you could get apples" "Cmon just grab some nachos, it won't hurt, it tastes better than apples!" Apples are delicious. back off. :devil:

    A friend just recently told me that she thought I was getting a little bit obsessive because I got a heart rate monitor to see how many calories I burn during working out. This was after my husband made a comment that I log everything I eat into MFP and I mean EVERYTHING (in his best snide voice).

    Also when my husband is on his health kick and he wants my advice on what to eat but then complains that he doesn't like any of it and he isn't willing to try to get used to them.

    the number one most annoying thing i hate is.........."omg how did you lose so much weight??"..........I feel like saying back to them just to see their reaction "cocaine, heroin a little bit of speed and a whole lot of sex with strangers!" hahaha!!! or "I climbed the magic beanstalk where a pixie gave me a magical diet pill to make me skinny overnight" lol

    honestly some people just can't use their brains these days! lol!

    Ok water just shot out of my nose after reading this one. Guess I shouldn't have taken a drink before I read that!

    That's funny. The most annoying comment I get also comes from my mother, but its the completely opposite. All I hear is "Look at how skinny you are!". Just because I am not obese like all of my aunts, or have a huge stomach like my mother, doesn't mean I'm skinny. I have a good 30 pounds of FAT, and am a size 13. I don't think that qualifies for skinny at all. Hearing "you should eat more, look at how skinny you are getting".. when yous till have 30 pounds to go is sooooooooo annoying.


    that's EXACTLY me!! wow!
    But it is ourselves that we have to be happy with, healthy with and proud of. Just sayn'

    "You're going to blow away with the wind." Uh, no. I'm still 20 pounds into the "overweight" category. You've just never seen me this small.

    Whoa! that's so mean. Those who told you that are just jealous & insecure about themselves that they want you to "join them". There's no such thing as an ugly person. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    Ignorance in general really bothers me. I don't only eat for the calories but the health benefits as well... so when I hear comments about how fattening avocado is, i wish ppl knew that the fats in avocado are great for you. That is just one example, but ppl that do not struggle with weight and haven't spent (countless) hours researching foods and their benefits just don't get it.

    Yes. One of my coworkers is (in my opionion) bordering on an eating disorder, yet she is always commenting on my "fattening" food choices. She eats for low-calorie-ness ONLY and I am sick, sick, sick of her uninformed comments. Rant over!
