people asking if I am sick...I tell them yes...of being fat.
Love that! I'm going to use that if the occasion arises...0 -
I'm always slightly uncomfortable with glowing comments whenever I've made an effort, because it always leaves me thinking 'Whatever did I look like BEFORE?!' - first impressions sticking with people and all that. But I've got to admit that it's niggled me to have my mum ask 'Have you lost weight?' every single time I've seen her (even though I never have and have sometimes gained), only to have it not even get a mention now that I've actually lost a bit of poundage!0
-
The biggest (and really only) comment I get is about my collarbones, usually from my mom and boyfriend. I feel like there is so much more to me than my stick-out collarbones!0
-
"look at you all, I can see your bones" this coming from a woman who tells me my husband is no good because he does not like her one bit. Yeah you can see my bones, cause they WERE covered in fat before.0

A girl at the beach the other day told me I was so skinny the waves were going to wash me away.
Then out and very drunk on Friday night with a some friends, I was sitting down on a chair and the guy I was hooking up was standing behind me with his hands on my shoulders and said very loudly, 'your collarbones are like a chicken's wishbones, I could just crack them in half!' Being drunk and slightly embarrassed by the attention I hotfooted it down the street home with him trailing behind me.0 -
Well you are hot right now, sounds the the trainer has a fetish, too bad you didn't get the "hot before you started talking" comment in! Keep working hard!0

A coworker just notices I've lost weight about two weeks ago and ever since then every time he sees me, he says " if you lose any more you're going to blow away." I just smile or laugh and tell him that's my plan.0

This didn't happen to me, happened to my gym buddy. Her friend told her to stop losing weight or she'd lose her boobs... Ummm she's DDDD. We had a good laugh about it. She's lost band sizes but nothing in the cup. She'd consider herself lucky if she went down two cup sizes gradually over the next six months or so.
People are ridiculous and sometimes female friends are the worst. Weight loss is the only thing we're raised to be competitive about, so sad.0 -
Skeleton was different but my favourite has to be 'it's like hugging air' lol0

"Ugh, you're not going to do this, look great for two months and then get fat again are you? Because if you are, I'm not even going to cheer you on..."
i am completely miffed. good on you for ditching that person. bet you lost a load right then

Do you feel better for losing the weight?
No more health problems and not carrying around another person so take a wild guess.0 -

Damn evil weightloss. Shrinking boobs everywhere. :grumble:0 -
When I was much thinner a few years ago, a number of colleagues kept saying to me that I was too thin and that that they'd "seen more meat on a butcher's pencil"!!
Erm...gee..cheers! :noway:0 -
My son said "Ok, you've lost enough now" I pointed out I have 28lb to go and he said"ooh no, you'll not be cuddly"
Then a senior colleague at work today asked if I'd lost weight and when I told ehr she said "you've got quite a curve going on there" (I think that's a compliment.....) I also had to send her the link to this site...0 -
"You're wasting away!"
Um... seriously? I'm still carrying the equivalent of a medium sized child in surplus tonnage.
Bahaha, I get the "wasting away" comment a lot and the shocked faces when I tell them I am only half way there. I think I will start using equivalents like you above to explain to them how much extra weight I STILL have to lose so they get it. "Medium sized child" "5 gallon drum of water", "100 pints of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream", "236 McDonald's Cheeseburgers"....0 -
My mother once said to me that my face used to look like a hamster stuffed full of nuts with slinty eyes...0

I have people look at old pictures of me when I was fit before my weight gain and I get a lot of "That is not you!" Gee, thanks...
My boyfriend's mom is the worst one at this but she says that about everyone in pictures. I have an old, old family picture that is obviously from the early 80's. She was like "That's your mom and dad? I thought that was you??" Um, yeah, then where did the husband and the two kids come from you moron! :noway: Then again, she says a lot of stupid crap. I pretty much just tune her out like everyone else now... :grumble:
Example: Family dinner at a restaurant, this is her over a 2 min period. "What did you get? What did you get? What did you get? Why did you get that? Is everyone's food good? Oh, my steak is delicious, I love my potatoes... Oh, my steak is delicious, I love my potatoes... This steak is so good and so are the potatoes..."
No, I'm not making that up. And I usually get the "why did you get that?" question. Just because it's a steakhouse doesn't mean you HAVE to get the steak
I swear sometimes I want to kick her chair and see if her record stops skipping... :huh: 0 -

OUCH! Mothers suck sometimes. I posted it in another thread but after a break up I was venting that I only wanted my Prince Charming and my mom stopped, patted my shoulder and said -no joke- "Oh, but honey, Cinderella wasn't fat...."
Thanks mom...0 -
Yet again today, I saw a customer that hadn't seen me in a few years, and I got the "are you well"? Soon I'm just gonna say, no I caught the virus from a shopping cart at the grocery store....0

I hope you don't mind , but if I ever get the chance I want to use that one.. TOO FUNNY!!!Yet again today, I saw a customer that hadn't seen me in a few years, and I got the "are you well"? Soon I'm just gonna say, no I caught the virus from a shopping cart at the grocery store....0 -
So this isn't about recognition, but it was such a weird comment about weight loss that I just have to share it. Several months back I asked on Facebook if I should get dreadlocks again (had them in high school previously and haven't had them for six years). Since the time I had them before I had gained 60lbs. Well my uncle, who I haven't seen in a year, replies "not until you've lost 20lbs". For the life of me I can't figure out what he meant by that and what it has to do with my hair style. If he was implying to look like I did back then I'd have to change everything...if it was a joke about druggies...or I shouldn't be worrying about hair when I have other things to work on?... :S Seriously no clue what he was thinking when he said that, but I got to gloat on the inside knowing that little did he know, but I already had lost 35lbs and now I've lost 55. The next time I see him I hope to be at goal weight with my dreadlocks and he can just take his 20lbs and shove it up his fat booty.0

Not so much about the comments but as to who is noticing and amazingly it's a lot of my coworkers and I work in a law firm so its odd that they've all noticed (attorneys and other paralegals, etc.) it almost makes me more self conscious since people are talking about it.0

When I was thin (116lbs) people told me I looked sick or too thin and it made me so mad, because they had never known me thin before. I was 110 in highschool, and it is a totally normal weight for me. The worst was from a supervisor at my old job saying "She loses weight fast, but she puts it on fast too" This coming from a guy who at my heaviest had a good 150-200 lbs on me.0

I took my child to the dentist yesterday and the 2 receptionists, who I have not seen in over 8 months, stated; "there is something different about you. Oh, you cut your hair. You look handsome." I smiled took a seat and grabbed a magazine to read. I was just happy someone noticed something was different and it was extremely flattering to have a female say I looked handsome - even though I know it was just a shallow compliment. Maybe when I lose another 40 lbs they will notice I shaved my beard

That's not shallow, that's a compliment. Take it, own it.0

Said today by a clerk that hadn't seen me in her shop in over a year, "OMG, you don't look like you're going to pop anymore."
<blinks> Uh. Thanks?0 -
After loosing my first 60 pounds 2 years ago, I got the 2 following comments:
- you must feel so much lighter now (oh really?)....
- wow you lost a lot of weight, but you have no tits at all anymore...0
