Countdown: Things you least want to hear when losing weight

While on a diet, friends, family, colleagues are bound to issue some comment. Even when they mean well, even if useful, when losing weight, there are some things you JUST DON’T WANT TO HEAR. :explode:

So I started a list of my least favorites from bad to worst- feel free to add yours:

5-“You are looking soooooooo much better now.”
4- From a skinny person (5’6, 108 pounds): “ You are doing great! Me I’m so fat” (said while staring at some imaginary big belly and lovehandles)
3- “You have lost weight. Now you need to exercise more ‘cause you’re getting flabby”
2- “Why are you even trying? That’s just the way your body is. YOU WILL NEVER BE A THIN PERSON.”
1- "Have you gained weight?" :brokenheart:

What are the things you don't like to hear? What do you do about it?

    Hey ladies how about this one
    My coworker looooooves to tell me that i shouldn't try to get skinny because I'll look like I "have them letters." (HIV/AIDS)

    I'm 5'2 300lbs and my goal is 165lbs which is STILL OVERWEIGHT!!!

    She also says she doesn't see why I'm trying to lose weight, I'm gonna gain it all back and die fat anyway...

    HATER!!!!

    The one I hate the most..."are you eating" or "don't lose no more"

    I really hate when people say don't lose anymore because they are usually already a good size and fit. Like seriously its ok for you to look good but not me? GET OUT OF HERE!!

    - Are you really going to eat ALL OF that? I thought you were on a diet?

    - Then there is the coworker who walks by my office and throws funsize candy bars at me. (This is some bull....he just did it again as I was typing!!! :noway: )

    - You need to focus on spot reducing.

    - Why are you lifting weights? It'll make you bulky. Just get on the treadmill.

    - Don't lift heavy weights get the 5 pound weights and do high reps.

    I hate the "Yeah, about twenty years ago, I lost 25 pounds. Eventually, I gained it all back". What does that mean?

    #2.. " Are you eating that, I thought you were on a diet?"
