Almost 60 pounds in having dinner with a friend:
"You were bigger?"
*shows picture to friend*
"Oh, I guess you were..."
Observant much? :laugh:0 -
Was visiting my family on Easter weekend. My parents had seen me fairly recently when I'd lost most of my weight - i was a size 8 when I last saw them a few months ago, and i've gone down to a size 6 now (only losing another 5lbs, but due to toning up)
As soon as they saw me my parents said:
My dad : You look great!
My mom: Don't lose anymore weight (and I said i'm not i'm trying to maintain now...)
and then the next day, my mom says to me: You don't have boobs anymore. You should get implants.
:noway:
WTF, seriously?! from my MOM?!?! I was kind of stunned. I don't even really remember what I said. I think i just said no, and then changed the topic...:grumble:

Moms seem to be the worst with the comments... I don't know why.
lol Mine told me, while walking behind me in a store, "huh, your back doesn't eat your shirt anymore." Seriously?! I could have lived a million years and gone without that comment.0 -
"if you lose any more weight you'll disappear!"
this was after my first 10 pounds, so it made me feel really good, as I still have a long way to go.

My dad says nothing about the fact that I've lost weight. He just talks about how much larger I am than my sister, which would suck if I didn't have better fatherly role models in my life. (I mean, there was a time when I weighed in at, like, FOUR TIMES as much as my sister, at a hefty 23 pounds, but we're a lot closer in size these days.)0

I'm a school principal. My administrative assistant says, "Don't lose anymore weight. The parents may think this school is too stressful for you and that's why you're losing weight. I don't want them to think you're sick or stressed out." SMH0

That's a weird thing to say.0 -
my husband's friend came over today and I had not seen him in a while, but the first words out of his mouth were, "Don't lose any more weight, it's not healthy." I just looked at him and said, I'm doing it the healthy way, and I've only lost 15/40 pounds so far. I'm glad he noticed the loss, but did he really have to say losing was unhealthy? I was unhealthy BEFORE losing weight!0

One of my middle schoolers said that dieting is unhealthy. She didn't say it in response to my weight loss, but a conversation in class.0 -
Carliee, I think it's important to educate that girl on the difference between fad dieting, and making healthy lifestyle changes to improve yourself.0

At least they weren't judging or looking down on you for your weight :-)0 -

Absolutely! It was one of my first days there, but I definitely try to hop in the groups that are discussing healthy eating/lifestyle. A couple of girls have mentioned to me that they're losing weight. I love encouraging MS girls and being healthier is one of my faves!0 -

As long as your loss is done at a healthy rate, they shouldn't be concerned and you may just inspire some of them and some of your students and staff to start following a healthier lifestyle!0 -
When I was in high school, I lost 10 pounds. I was clothing shopping with my mom and she told the cashier I'd recently lost 10 lbs. The cashier's response was, "Wow! You must have been really big."0

My little sister was getting rid of some clothes and she had a men's size small tshirt that I asked if I could keep because i like it and it would be awesome to be able to have it as an inspiration item. (currently in a tightish size medium at 185 lbs with goal of 130-140)
my boyfriend's response: "if you get to the point where you can comfortably wear a small tshirt, i probably wont be attracted to you anymore. that would be too skinny."
well then i guess ill find someone who is attracted to me??0 -
