some people just piss me off so much. I have been asked If I cut out pasta bread and meat I have also been asked If my snack ( baby carrots and grapes) are my dinner but the biggest shocker that I have been asked was If I was bulimic. Some people are just so stupid they think someone can only lose weight if they starve them selves or throw it up.0

I think that the strangest comment is the "non" comment. Everyone has noticed that I lost 28lbs. Not one comment from my husband. My parents even commented in front of him and still no comment. Nothing. My daughter even said mom you have to start buying pants that fit lol. Still not a word. Strange....0

My mom told me this week, that I shouldn't lose more weight. I'm to skinny, and it's stupid to want to weigh the same weight as when I was twelve. Then she added that she doesn't like it when I'm skinny.
These comments really hurt me, because I know, she is jealous on the one hand, because she never achieved permanent weight loss with her crash diets. She always told me as a teenager, that I look just fine, but kept buying me XL sized clothes, and M for herself, even I was smaller than her. Part of the truth is, that I'm still 6 pounds away from finally getting back to the healthy weight range after 6 years. So I'm really not skinny.
My dad is the other one. "Oh, you lost 30 pounds, good for you. But you shouldn't stop yet."
I wished they would just stop commenting. I know what I want, and I know where I am at currently with my weight.
Good luck. Don't let them get you down:).0 -
A very lovely friend, who I'd met earlier in the day for a couple of hours, then gone home and got changed from a checked shirt and black jeans to a black top with cutout shoulders (excellent idea by the way, hides the bingo wings but shows the shoulder muscles and newly emerging collarbone) and black jeans, and gone to meet him and some other mates -
- really loudly - in front of the entire pub and another friend -
'Who is this Foxy Lady? And she's coming here to meet me!'
Followed by a big hug.
And then, another friend, who I haven't seen for a couple of months, came in and said 'you're looking very sexy today'.
Is there some sort of conspiracy going on to comment upon my figure and appearance, when they hardly ever mention it normally?
Not that I'm complaining, of course...0 -
Well so far most family friends are surprised to know I lost 27 lbs and that I had it to lose to begin with and I still have 15 to go, they are like raelly you never looked that big and you must now how to dress, well yes I do and yes I weighed that much before, Im sort of glad they never told me I was fat though ,but geeze 27 lbs off my 4ft 10 in body is quiet a bit in fact 3 dress sizes so far ,and 2 pants sizes .Im very pleased with my progress so far.
20 lbs on a taller person average woman's height doesn't look like that much compared to 20lbs on my petite self. My husband gained 10 lbs and I didn't even notice of course he lost it again quickly because of his job lucky him he is 5ft 11in. so a foot taller than me0 -
My boss told me I looked gaunt and was worried about me. He was serious.0

What's with all the people saying "don't lose any more weight"?!!!!
They all want us to stay fat?!0 -
I haven't really gotten comments about what I have lost. However, the comment I do get when people find out I am watching what I eat, counting calories, and working out is "Why? Your already skinny!" I don't realize consider myself skinny more along the lines of average. There are also other reasons to do it. I want to get in shape! I want to feel good about myself and not self-conscious about certain areas. As I am nearing my mid-30s I am realizing I need to eat better and get in shape. With heart disease and high cholesterol on both sides of my family and diabetes on one side, I need to get in better shape so I can (hopefully) avoid all that. That is WHY I am doing this!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 -
I work for Walmart as overnight Cashier. A lot of my customers are noticing a change in my appearance. And they are actually telling me to keep it up.0

One of my patient that I haven't seen for about 9 months said to me yesterday: "......you look different; you got pretty."
I was so happy about her comment, then I thought to myself..."was I ugly before or something?!
Still happy tho'0 -
My bf constantly is saying that I'm going to find another man.0

My mom does things like this to me too! Ill tell her what size I wear
And she will buy me a size or two bigger. And I never where was she buys
Me because its to big and then she gets mad. And if I even talk about my weight loss
Or ask her if I look any better. She will roll her eyes shoot me a look
A change the subject. Or if I tell her I can't eat Somthing she'll roll her eyes and make
A snooty comment like its not healthy to not eat. ( I eat just not THAT!)
It's like since she's fat she wants me to be too.... It's reduculousness!0 -
"Are you sick? You used to look a lot stronger."0

RIGHT!!!0 -
She is likely jealous. Don't take her comment seriously. What she thinks of you is none of your business. That is what I tell others who cross my personal boundaries like that. I tell them to keep their comments to themselves unless they want to be fair game too.
Good job with your weight loss.0 -
I went to choir practice the other day and one of the younger girls walks over to me and whilst poking me in the guts says..
"You're... so... thin!"
Thanks for the compliment,but did you really have to poke the area of fat that i just cant shift? It made me smile anyway.0 -
Not this time around but many many years ago I lost a lot of weight because of a job requiring lots of physical activity.
Well in one day from family and friends I heard
Are you dying?
Are u sick ?
And the worst one I got was
Do u have aids?
Who understands them, I gain a few pound and I am fat, I lose a few lbs and I am sick0 -
Friend: Why are you selling your clothes? They're too small for you?
Me: ... I'm selling my clothes to make some extra money, and plus I don't wear them anymore...0
