  • Other person: Oh you look great, you've lost so much weight

    Me: Thanks, it was slow going and I have more to go.

    Other Person: Oh NO, don't lose any more weight, you'll get sick and at your age, it really isn't very attractive to be too thin.

    Is this a compliment or an insult? I think it's both.

    When people comment about when I walk or workout and they say that they wish they had time to workout. That drives me nuts, I sometimes don't have time, but I find the time. I am sure I make them mad because I ask them if they watch TV. I say you could be exercising instead or at least during the commericals!
    EXACTLY!! Some days I exercise while watching the news. Got the TV on and get on my stationary bike. Makes the time pass and I don't dwell on how many minutes I've done so far or how many I have left till I'm done. And anyone can do squats and lunges just going from one end of their house to the other. No excuses.. Just do it!

    - When people tell me what to eat. Absolutely pisses me off

    - 'Liarexics' (Liarexia is used for those who binge when in company of other people but reduce their portions when eating alone). People who do this create the illusion that they can eat whatever they like and still remain skinny. I just don't get why you have to lie to your friends about what you're eating. Nothing wrong with working hard for your dream body.
  • So funny and all so true! It is good to hear those comments are not just in my little corner of the world. Thanks for
    sharing I can't stop laughing.
    With REAL stories and sharing like this I know I can succeed!

    Other person: "I haven't seen you eat anything all day, here, have a candy bar."

    Me: "If all you have to do is watch what I eat all day who has the problem here?"

    My boyfriend, trying to help...

    "Well, you know you shouldn't be eating stuff like that..."

    Two hours later:

    "Let's go get pizza."

    EDIT* Had another one.
    I have a friend doing a different diet... the whole "shake in the morning shake in the afternoon" Bull**** (no offense, but in the end it's all bull****)

    Me: "Yeah! i'm down 14 pounds!"
    Them: "It would go faster if you were doing what "I'M" doing."

    Or when I go out to eat somewhere, and they tag along, and sit there and sip their drink.... why go to an eatery with someone if you're not going to eat!?
  • OP I love your hair :)

    The weirdest thing I have ever been told was during my first trip to America. I had to stay over night at the bus terminal in Buffalo NY because my bus was delayed and there was this drunk guy who also got delayed and he was running around talking to everyone and he sits down next to me and puts his arm around me and he's like you've got a gorgeous face now you just have to lose some weight to go with it.. and then he told me the story of how his gf cheated on him and gave him aids and held up my hand and said you're better off on your own in a more disgusting manner LOL.. Interesting first trip away from home and also interesting to hear what an honest random stranger thinks.

    Things that bother me are the comments my family have said growing up. You've all heard the usual bs.

    how did you do it?


    i just ate less and moved more


    .....oh. never mind.


    WTF


    This is so common. No one wants to hear "eat less, move more". They all want the name of the magic pill. There is none!!!! I was watching the HBO documentary "Weight of a nation". It nauseated me to see this couple guys; one had a hamburger tattoed on his knee and the other was begging for a miracle pill.

    People blow. They see only what is in front of them. they don't care about the journey that you are on. OR know all the hard work that you have put in.

    I hate when people who aren't healthy & aren't doing anything about their weight, but know everything I need to do about losing weight... from what I need to eat to how I should work out. smh!!!!
    Yes OMG this!!!!!
    It drives me to drink!!! Also my favorite, the girl who say's she is on a diet and is eating 3 cups of lasagna, and not the healthy kind, the tradiotional, ground beef, noodles, cottage cheese, ricato cheese, mozz and sauce....:explode:
    Okay b$tch, I hear you talk the talk but I have lost 32 pounds, can you walk the walk...hmmm no, I didn't think so!:bigsmile:

    WTF

    I KNOW that person!!!! Well, a few of them really.

    Plus I get the "sigh" a lot. What....Did you think this was easy?! H to the LL NO!!!
    Maybe people would feel better if you said 'I just eat whatever I want then put my fingers down my throat. Saves all that messy business of exercising and getting sweaty and being careful with what I eat'.

    My boss dropped a bombshell about comparing herself to me. When I lost weight she commented that she no longer had a yardstick to compare herself too. Didn't worry me at all, I just amazed that she thought of me that way because she's 20 years older and is shorter.

    Some of you are saddled with friends and family that just flat don't know how to act. That's so not cool. :angry:
  • Person: Oh hey, you've lost HEAPS of weight!
    Me: Thanks :)
    Person: So, exactly how much have you lost?!
    Me: Oh, a fair bit.
    Person: Yeah, but how much exactly? You were pretty fat.
    Me: ......

    Look person, I don't really want to tell you exactly how many kilos I've lost. That's my business. Especially after telling me I was 'pretty fat'. Gee, thanks.

    Funny...I laugh when ppl see the amount of food I eat and they're like "where do you put it?"

    I haven't had too many critics on MFP with what I eat, even though I don't eat perfectly clean like everyone expects me to. I guess what ticks me off the most is that ppl who don't know me and don't see my food diary everyday assume I'm starving myself to death b/c I'm thin or they knock me for being "skinny" (I hate hate hate that word!) without knowing i'm not naturally skinny and that I was obese as a kid and work my tail off to keep that weight off. I'm a school bus driver and in my industry I'm not the norm and the other drivers treat me like an outcast till they get to know me. All based on appearances..

    Funny...I was shunned as a kid in the 80s for being obese, now I'm shunned as a fit adult b/c the rest of the world is overweight/obese now. Can't win!
