Dumbest fitness related thing your S/O has said

I can't recall a single bad/uninformed thing my gf has said relating to fitness or weight loss.

Hilarious! Absolutely hilarious!
The one person on this thread whose diplomacy is likely to save them from serious trouble.

Here is taunto's solution to all these

Just break up

(or maybe its somebody's elses solution on MFP. hmm)

I love lifting and my husband repeatedly tells me he loves my back. When the Patreaus thing hit, he actually commented that his side dish looked "manish". WTF? She looks like a hot piece of *kitten* to me (except in that one awkward photo they keep showing).

I was logging the last of my food to see if I could afford a liquid dessert, and he's reading this "Good Fats Bad Fats" book and says, "do you count calories? You should read this, it says you shouldn't do that". Mind you in the more than a year on here, I've lost 4 sizes and stayed down (in size, my weight has gone up which means my muscles are hot and my fat is leaving). In that time he's gained 20 pounds. Glad to have him tell me what I should do to get fit.

My S/O believe that it's better to do light weight/more reps because it "tones" you...

Also he believes in "cleanses"...I told him your body cleanses itself naturally, but he feels that all the stuff that you don't need stays in you until you cleanse it out...

The gap is a mystical and for many women unrealistic body goal in which one's thighs do not touch.

If you have the correct body type, you can have one. If you don't, you would have to lose more weight than is healthy to get one.

"I'm not over weight, there fore I'm not unhealthy"

He changed his mind on that when his pants got snug but I still hate that. Or just the whole "Technically I'm underweight" since he's 6'3" tall. Health isn't about the number on the scale!

"A girl at work brought me in a 'sample' of this shake to try; it's really tasty!"

I say "Oh, that was nice. Does she sell it or what?"

"Yeah, it's sort of expensive. She does some 'beachbody thing'."

Me: "Ummm, why not just eat right?"

***blank stare***

/Agreed!

Man, I feel lucky haha. My guy and I have learned together, so mostly we just make fun of the people who say dumb **** together. It helps us stay sane.

The stupidest workout comment I've gotten (NOT from my guy) was from a trainer at my gym of all people. First he corrected my form on my rows (which I will admit was appreciated), but then in the same breath he told me I should be using lighter weights... even though part of the problem with my form was that because the weight I was using was too light, I wasn't having to use the correct muscles because it was too easy!! Gotta love guys who assume that because I own a vagina, I should never use more than a 10 lb dumbbell. Oy.

"You don't need protein"

Oh where to start.......:laugh:

I think the best one was more food-related than fitness, but my loving husband expressed his concern for my diet pop "addiction". I drink only caffeine-free diet pop (caffeine contributes to my anxiety issues), so yes, I tend to have an extra small bottle of caffeine-free diet pepsi in my car - on the rare times that I actually see it in a convenience store I usually buy 2, one for now, one for later. I don't drink alcohol, don't smoke, and have to avoid caffeine - regardless of how people may feel about artificial sweeteners, I have chosen them as my "vice", so there

Now the funny part is that he usually says this as he has a container of cookie dough ice cream in his lap and a big spoon in his hand, after playing WoW for 3 hours and smoking a half-pack a day :huh:

But I do love him so.... :laugh:
