"You look good, why are you trying to lose weight" I hear this a lot, how do you answer politely but in a way that is going to let my loved one know that it bothers me and I'm doing this for myself, and I need support not questioning!?

My boyfriend. Thats all I have to say. Haha he's constantly getting mad at me whenever he sees me making something to eat or go to exercise.. "why are you so insecure?! you look so good, you don't need to be all healthy and stuff!" while he's trying to shove some tasty lasagna down my throat. lmao. it does get annoying, but when it happens, just tell them you don't want to look better, you just want to feel better inside. for your HEALTH not looks!0

Exactly like that I would think. I would just say something along the lines of thank you so much but this is a personal goal and I would really appreciate your support.0

lol! That's so funny he sounds just like my hubby:) Love him to death but if it was up to him I would stay the way I am, he just says I love you the way are, come and eat with me, while making a fried bean burrito with cheese and chile verde(what he ate last night) and I just walked away and ate my smoothie and baked zucchini with mushrooms!0

Just tell him "yes I look good but I want to look Fabulous!!"0

Just tell him, "I'm doing it for me. I have an idea of where I want to be and right now this isn't it. " or something along those lines...0

I say... so I can look fantastic with my clothes off0

I have a few built in excuses. I have degenerative disc disease, so the stronger I make my core, and the lighter I make my frame, the better I feel and the more I can accomplish. Then I politely ask them to shutup or support me.0

"Yes, but you haven't seen me naked!" That oughta stop conversation. :bigsmile:0

Because you haven't seen me naked. And no, that isn't an offer.0

Fruck off?
You said politely...0 -
Ugh! I hear this all the time too! Especially at church. I know I have lost a lot, but I'm not there yet. I just say thank you, and I'm not at my doctor's goal for me yet..... which is true. I have non-alcoholic liver disease and I need to get the weight off!0

You can't eat together if you're eating different foods?0 -
Because I want to. End of story done. You don't have to explain it to anyone unless you want to do so. You are doing this ish for me, myself, and I.0

Here is the south all you have to do it end it with "bless your heart." :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
I'd look them straight in the eye, smile... and say nothing. And keep repeating.0

I'm a smart *kitten*, so I will probably say something like "the skinniest woman wins, that's why."0

Tell them you are working on being fitter. Anyone can always be fitter. It's something you always work on. Or tell them you are working towards a goal, if you have any you can tell them about (being able to do more pushups, to do chin ups, run a something-or-other, be a better dancer, whatever your goals may be). You want to live a long and healthy life. Whatever...0

That will satisfy them for sure. That's what I've done before... I don't normally say lose weight to anyone who asks. I just said "I'm trying to be healthier.... fitter.,.. run/ jog faster, etc etc. Works for family and friends and they leave me some space...0
