    Wow! Some of you know some rude people!

    I haven't had an specific comments that have made me mad, but I totally agree with the annoyance toward "Eeyore people." I'm not little miss sunshine or anything, but when I want something, I get off my *kitten* and get it. I used to know a girl who would always say things like "Oh, you're so good, I wish I could go to the gym like you." or "I should really start eating healthier" (at the same time she is buying chips from the vending machine.)

    I also knew a girl who would constantly say "I really need to lose x amount of lbs" (and it was usually between 50-60), while eating a steak dinner with a cheesecake dessert... for *lunch*. Maybe in some cases it is an education issue, but I think that most people would know that eating that and avoiding the stairs will not make you thin. And then she would show "concern" when I ordered a salad, and said no to dessert. I don't care what you eat, if you don't care what I eat.

    I really couldn't care less how much people I associate with weigh, but if you have problems with your weight, you should at least try to change it. No one likes to hear chronic complaints!

    I also agree with the "magic pill" thing. I feel like people who lose weight by fad diets get way more attention than people who are moderate with their diets and exercise. Then again, maybe that's just me. I always get a bit ticked hearing about fad diets, because I've done them in the past and I wish someone would have "gotten real" with me, and told me that there was no "magic food" or no "evil food". But I digress...

    how did you do it?


    i just ate less and moved more


    .....oh. never mind.


    WTF

    THIS

    I get asked this question all the time by customers. They go "wow, you've lost so much weight, how have you done it?" and when I say "just good old fashioned diet and exercise" they look at me like I waltzed into their house on Christmas eve and p*ssed on their kids!

    SORRY for working my butt off!

    Just remembered another one, from the lady that works for us... (she and entire family are short, wide and inactive).

    Her; oh you've lost more weight, how much now?
    Me; thank you for noticing, it'snearly five stone (70lbs)
    Her; how are you finding it eating lettuce for every meal?

    ???????

    I'm obviously doing it wrong, I don't actually eat lettuce:bigsmile:

    This thread has been excellent.. I've really enjoyed reading all the comments and responses. been laughing - so funny.

    I think my own one that annoyed me most after losing a decent amount of weight to the point where people didnt recognise me - 'I liked you better before - you'll put that all back on and way more anyway'. Me: 'well that 2 years now and I havent put it back at all, oh - and I never liked you when I was fat either'. They about turned and walked away. I was fizzing though, but now just laugh lol

    I've been fit the majority of my life. My older sister has NEVER been fit. Over 10 months I lost 50lbs and am back to where I was before I gained the weight, so what does she say to me?


    Sis: Fad diets don't work, you will put all that back on!

    Me: Why?..............I'm not you!

    P.O.S exes that once you're happy and w/someone else, wants to try to get back w/you.. And it takes all of a few conversations to realize the is the same *kitten* today that he was 12+ yrs ago... BUT for some reason, even after yrs of not speaking and disliking him and then missing him (many mixed emotions) his jerk ways still bother me.. MEANING, I will cease any further conversations w/this individual...........
    Rant over.. He is a d*chebag... I am not.. He wants one thing.. He will NOT get it... I'd like to b*tch him out BUT I will be taking the high road on this and realizing by the time someone is his age, they are who they are and only strong will and desire to change or GOD himself can make this happen.. In this situation, neither have occurred.... Effin jerk..
    Ok, Rant Officially Over!!!
    Thanks!

    :drinker: That can't be any more true!!! They NEVER change! EVER!! /bitteroutburst

    A doctor I'd never been to before, upon hurting my neck a few weeks ago

    DR "so you just woke up and it was sore"
    ME "nah I was swimming and it just twinged"
    DR "agh, so you -finally- do something good for your body, trying to do the right thing, and this is what happens!"

    I don't know if he was trying to enable excuse making, or was just trying to predict "Fatty's" reaction to getting injured. I was personally just pissed I couldn't finish that workout and had to take the next day off exercise.

    Also friends at a party

    "Why aren't you drinking?!" (I'd already had 5 alcoholic drinks)

    or friends who try to be supportive at first and then come out with gems like

    "you're more fun when you eat normal" (when I was at a fast food restaurant with my sister and wouldn't share her fries - I had already eaten 2 tacos so it wasn't like I was being a killjoy)

    "but calories don't count tonight" (my best mate trying to get me to eat more at his Halloween party, where I had already partaken in enough of the food and drink to put me quite a bit over my calories)

    "I just don't think calorie counting is good for your mental health" (another dear friend who has never had a weight problem in her life)

    That really bugs me too. It is mainly one person that always does it to me. "Looks like it's a cheat day for you!"

    Eurgh.. this is the one thing that bugs me! My sister said this to me last night. (doing low carb and had a tiny bit of corned beef hash without the potato in!) and I just looked at her and said "shut up, least I'm doing something about my weight, instead of sitting there and moaning about it!"

    This is a very difficult one for me, because it involves my mother, who until i started making changes in my life.. we had a very good relationship.

    Whenever ANYONE says anything about my weight loss, for instance my dad said just the other day (i only get to see them about once every 3 months.. so they hadnt seen me since i started this.. and ive lost 33 pounds) "WOW, you look like you have lost half of your body weight!" -- untrue, but thanks Dad :heart: ---- my mom says things like.. "Have you noticed her hair has gotten longer?

    Or if dad says... "Im really prouf of you for making the better decisions for your health!" (as i am eating a salad from McDonalds, and everyone else is eating burgers or fries) and my mom says.. "Wow, look at this receipt.. YOUR dinner was the most expensive! (speaking to me) Um, I bought it, what does that matter??

    My mom has never had a problem with weight, so i dont know why this is becoming a problem for her, but it is.. =(

    I dont let this one get to me.. I smile and say something like.. "Lucky me.. i can eat like this and STILL lose weight.. you cant?" and put on that crappy smile again. lol... that is usually enough to piss them off. Not exactly 100% true, but hey?! lol

    I hate when people notice I am losing and ask me "What's the one thing you are doing?" Are you serious? Its not a one thing magic trick! Its hard work and dedication. I didn't cut carbs out, I am not on atkins, I am eating in moderation and getting more physically active....seems really hard for some people to understand.

    I hate people who remember me when I was young and only weighed 95 pounds and look at me now at200 pounds and say " well it looks like you beat anorexia"

    Oh my God! That is an awful thing to say! Don't worry, karma will get them. I've heard she's a b*tch x

    -people who eat too much salt and then freak that they gained weight
    -people who tell people who ate too much salt to drink gallons of water to get rid of the salt
    -people who are overweight but insist they can't eat a bite over 800 calories
    -people who are too lazy to just Google it
    -people who use medical conditions as an excuse to be fat
    -people

    Skinny friend: "You look great, have you lost weight?"
    Me: "Thanks and yes 16lbs so far still got another 30-40lb to go though."
    Skinny friend: "What? You can't lose that much there'll be nothing left of you!"
    Me: "I'll take that as a compliment"
    Skinny friend: "No, I mean it! You'd look awful if you lost another 30lb!"

    Gee, thanks for your support.

    coworker: You look so good. How are you losing all the weight?

    me: I count calories and walk.

    coworker: Oh, I can't do that.

    me to myself: 'Okee Dokee"

    Currently?! Right this second, people that take pictures of obvious cigarette smoke or dust particles in the air, then get on a TV show and say they caught a picture of a ghost. Can you tell I'm watching Ghost Story, caught on camera?

    Me: (answering a question)...I lost 20 pounds this year, thus far.

    Her: well...you were doing so good in the beginning. Where do you think you went wrong?

    Me: Blank stare...this is a journey, not a race. Yes, the weight is coming off slowly, but I'm 20 pounds lighter and a bunch of inches less...which means I'm getting healthier and stronger daily!

    I hate when people try to discourage me with their words! Won't work for me:)

    My MIL will always offer the biscuit tin round to everyone and bypass me, 'you're not allowed a biscuit are you?'. Because I'm losing weight she assumes that I don't actually need to eat. (the last time she did that to me I was just back from a four mile run!!!).

    WTH? See...don't monitor my food choices for me. You aren't the food police and last I checked, I was doing fine without your help! Ugggh.

    DH does this to me, he says he's trying to 'help' I say he's trying to see if I'm capable of murder in the 1st :smile:
    Totally just kidding, don't call the cops on me!

    i can't stand it when people try to force you to eat or drink something. i have a friend that is like this. she always wants you to try whatever it is she has made and has a hard time hearing no thank you. she just doesn't know that the more she presses, the more i dig in my heels. I'll even say no just bc I know she wants me to have it so badly. I don't do well w being controlled, forced, or manipulated....I make my own decisions.

    In many Eastern countries they get offended if you only eat one thing of what they offer. If you are at their house and you ate 2 cookies, for the next hour and a half the woman of the house will fuss over you, like, "Eat! Eat! Why aren't you eating?!?" :grumble:

    It annoys me when I tell people that I'm eating healthy, not drinking alcohol and working out 6 days a week and they say, "you look fine..." "I think you look perfect.." "You don't need to lose weight.."

    If all of those things were true, I wouldn't be doing it right now. I'd keep eating like crap, drinking 4 nights a week and never hitting the gym. I realize people wanna be nice, but sometimes I think people just need to be honest, I'd wished that when I got to my heaviest someone would have said, "Hey, have you put on some weight?" It might have hurt my feelings for 5 seconds but it would have smacked me into reality and into the gym quicker.
