What secretly annoys you, but shouldn't?

Now, don't get me wrong here - I'm not blaming the person (I think it is GREAT when people make healthy choices), but I sometimes think that the universe is being a bit unfair when a person with unhealthy eating/exercise habits can suddenly decide to eat healthy and start exercise, and almost immediately drop 10+ pounds, whereas I have for a long time eaten somewhat healthy and worked out regularly, and thus struggle to lose every single darn pound.

Gah!

    It's easy to lose when you first start. You should take pride knowing you have been maintaining the correct lifestyle for a long time. A lot of people will give up and go right back to where they were. You won't have that problem.

    What secretly annoys me are people that eat anything and everything and don't exercise at all, yet are skinny naturally. Those people who are blessed with a naturally high metabolism and can eat fried chicken, chips, and ice cream all day and never gain a pound. This is my man. Great for him. Drives me crazy when I am trying SO hard to eat healthy and exercise and he's sitting there snacking on doritos watching tv and is as skinny as ever. Love the man, but why is the universe so unfair?!

    This use to bother me for the longest time because my brother's were always normal sized while I was overweight. We were eating the same things. Well they were eating within their maintenance whereas I was overeating and therefore gaining weight.

    when it comes to the pudge we are all carrying, it comes down to we were eating too much and therefore we are now wearing it. :). Some people are blessed and are able to eat food and naturally eat within their maintenance calorie level. Some of us can't and therefore we find our selves here.

    ETA: No reason you can't still have foods you enjoy on a daily basis and still lose weight.

    When people around me make stupid decisions, like moving in together after 2 weeks. Not my business, shouldn't annoy me but it does. And it's secretly, because i keep my mouth shut about it.

    This too! Why do some people magically know how much food they should be eating, whereas many of us have to resort to limiting/measuring/resisting, etc.

    I am assuming it worked for you cause I remember you saying something about a husband on a different thread. But if you guys moved in together after 2 weeks, holy f, didn't how fast things were moving scare the **** out of you?

    People who lack general awareness of their body in space. I'll be running on the track and a older lady will just cross right out in front of me while I'm running. I know she knows there's a track there-- I mean, she's walking on it, she has to know it's there-- but she doesn't realize her body takes up space, and that two bodies cannot occupy the same space. Or when people walk side by side on a narrow track. I realize it's nice to talk and walk, but then you have to be aware of others around you.

    In a more general sense, I hate it when people just stop and block a hallway, without bothering to move to the side. People aren't thinking.

    Shouldn't annoy me as much as it does.

    Yup. Been with my husband almost 5 years now, and our little boy will be four in April.


    YES. YOU DID THAT MATH RIGHT. I was pregnant within two weeks of moving in with my husband, and it was on purpose.


    Oh, and we moved in together before we went on our first date. In all fairness though, I had known him for three months prior to that.


    Bwahahahahaha, like I said, I'd annoy the ever lovin' piss out of you. That being said, I *do* agree that in most cases, that's extremely annoying. My husband and I are a definite exception to the rule. One of those, "When you know, you know." sorta things.

    That's awesome! :smile:


    I work with that skinny, can-eat-everything, doesn't work out girl that annoys the crap out of me. Thing is, I can't stand her work or personality-wise either so that just adds to it.

    Do you know what seriously annoys me?

    Going out to dinner, feeling the pressure the spend the normal $10-$15 on dinner when the calories that I need to consume will be fulfilled with a dinner salad and possibly a soup.

    Why the hell do restaurants not offer more 'Real Food' options? And even with the options that they do have, why do they still overdue the portion sizes?

    I always thought that calorie content should be porportionate to cost of food.
