Eating marinated chicken, beans, sauteed onions and spinach with some raw broccoli would qualify me as "a health nut"... Hahahaaa!! That's gotta be the best comment made to me since getting back into things. (the cafeteria owner has had to work the register for the past week and I don't think she likes it much that I'm not eating her regular lunches)

What's the most bizzare thing someone has said to you along this journey?

Good job, Health Nut! Take that title! It's takes a lot of dedication to not eat what's being served. Awesome job! You made me smile today.

neuro_nut

Haha, awesome. I had a similar experience in the grocery store. An older woman behind me in the check-out line kept staring at me... finally she asked me how I eat so healthy. I thought I was buying pretty average food

I'm new to *this* specific journey, however, I am a serial dieter who typically quits when the going gets tough. My husband is not saying it, but I have a feeling he's thinking, "Oh brother, here we go again!"

quirkytizzy

Your meal sounds delicious! I don't have many people around me who eat healthy, so any sandwich with lots of veggies or the occasional salad gets me an odd look.

know_your_worth

Good choices!

The most bizzare thing that I get is "she never eats" from co-workers. I don't eat at potlucks or when they order food because I'm usually not hungry and don't want to waste my calories on junk. But it annoys me when they say that. Yeah, someone my size doesn't eat..okay.

I was told not to lift weights, because if I ever stopped, all my muscles would turn to fat.

All. Of my muscles. Would turn to fat.


I told my husband to take me wheelbarrow shopping, because if I ever stopped working out, he would have to cart me around. :laugh:

....."yes we are all going to the buffet, but your not invited unless you pay your own....because you don't eat enough to waste my money on a buffet" we can stop on the side the road and pick you up a plate of grass if you really have to come with us"
some people are so nice

I will...and I'll smile all the way home too.

It's probably because you didn't have a ton of chips or pop, huh? Hehehe...

"If you keep listing weights you're going to hurt your baby-maker," from a man in the gym.

so I replied, "is that what happened to you?"

Charming! I hope you gave that person the riot act!:noway:

Oohh, I hate that. I don't eat cakes or candies so I get weird looks and snarky remarks made to me when someone notices me passing on that stuff. People can be weird.

Went shopping last night for Thanksgiving. Cashier says "I think you bought every vegetable we sell!" :laugh: :laugh:

cmkell87

It wasn't a comment but a question. "Why are you afraid of elevators?". My office is on the 4th floor and I almost never take the elevator during the day. I've been taking the stairs every day since I started my weight loss.

o.O... wth?? How rude. I'm guessing someone was jealous?

Hahahahaa!!! Most of these are awesome.

A couple of weeks ago, I was at work, dreaming of a great party I was going to later where there would be lots of FUDGE AND COOKIES, so when someone asked if I wanted a donut, I said, "No Thanks!" to which a bunch of people snarkily replied, "Oh, and that's how she stays so skinny." I was like.... whaaa??? I'm pigging out on FUDGE later, you guys!!!! lol

I've been called a food nazi while trying to point out my mothers poor eating habits!

sevsmom

I was just eating some greek yogurt with my lunch and a new coworker told me I was the "picture of health". . because I exercise and eat healthy!! LOL. . .I reminded him that I had a maple cream stick yesterday when someone brought in birthday doughnuts. . so not exactly the "picture of health"!! :-)

johnsjes

I've had people ask "Are you sure you're eating enough?" It's like, "Yep, pretty sure, I bought a nice new winter coat so I don't need to put on a layer of blubber this year."

MostlyWater

All of the above, plus "you're already married, why are you exercising ?"

marekdds

I repeatedly get, "you are too skinny, don't lose any more weight". I am dead average for my age, height & weight, go figure.

I had a lady behind me in the grocery store look at my cart and ask what the heck I was going to do with so many veggies. I said eat them.....

Kind of love this. It's like someone has seen too many football players "turn to fat" after they stopped playing the sport.

I've been running a lot lately. Friends have asked me why and I reply, "I'm training for a triathlon."

Their typical response, "What?!?! Are you crazy?!?!"

Yup, probably.

petstorekitty

I've had people in my office building ask me why I workout. They see me with my gym basg and say "you don't need to workout!."

I tell them, "All humans need exercise." I sometimes call going to the gym "hamster-wheeling myself."

It's odd in general and it's odd because I'm obviously overweight. Not fat, but c/mon!

Next thing to make me giggle was when my boyfriend's mom met me and asked him how I stayed so small.

Hhis family are in the midwest and on the larger side. Height and weight! I must look so tiny even though I'm average. I'm 5'1" Even when I was 45lbs overweight people saw me as "small"
