    Being sick
    Living in a fallen world
    No one creating the cure of a 100lb lose overnight yet
    People here who are so blind to their negativity and their rudeness
    People who are good being looked over for those who are cool aka shallow.

    People who stand in the aisles at the grocery store and talk, blocking the entire aisle. GRRRR!

    People who ask you for advice- healthy eating, gym workouts, tracking etc. And then go on to criticize or tell you that you're wrong!
    "You don't want to lift heavy- you'll bulk up- low weight and high rep is the way to go"
    "You eat HOW much protein?"
    "I don't know why you have rice for supper, you shouldn't have starch after 2 pm"

    If you don't want the advice- don't ask. And if you don't end up using it, that's fine. But do your own research before condemning others. It clearly seems to be working for other people, and me; so don't shoot it down before you know anything about it.

    Also- people who want the quick fixes. Cleanses, total meal plans etc. There is no easy way out. Put in the work--> see the results. :D

    What irritates me the most is when I have friends and family tell me I'm not fat...I am 5'4 at 210 lbs. I am obese. It's a hard thing to say and I hate it...but it's better than being in denial. I get that they are trying to be nice, but do they really think that I am dumb enough to believe them? If anything, it makes me extremely uncomfortable! Ergh. It irritates me so much!

    Same!!! I'm 5'11 and 240. People always tell me "Why are you trying to lose weight? You are NOT fat!" Granted they don't know my weight... most guess I weigh 40-50 lbs less than I actually do.

    You don't need to lose weight you look fine. Ummm if I thought I look fine I wouldn't be working on losing weight I am at the high side of being overweight I want to like what I see when I look in the mirror when I am naked I want to have the energy I did when I was at a healthy weight I want my life back happy healthy and energetic enough to keep up with my almost teen daughter.

    Sorry about the runon sentence.

    I have seen many folks that don't wash their hands after they use a public restroom. I hear the girls do this too. Whats wrong with people? :grumble:

    So this!! Would it kill you to take a couple minutes to wash your hands people!!! Even my 4 yr old always washes her hands after going to the bathroom!!
    Hahaha I don't! *runs for cover*

    But in my defense, I use a bottle of hand sanitizer in my purse instead of water/soap washing because I tend to have weird allergic reactions to various hand soaps, and I will frequently wait until outside of the bathroom to put it on, since I usually have to hit a handle or two on my way out that all those other non-handwashers touched. ;)

    People questioning if they should cut out an item of food to lose weight. Like meat, alcohol, dairy, etc. I feel that unless you never plan on eating/drinking that thing EVER again, don't cut it out. Deprivation of something you enjoy is going to make you regret changing your lifestyle.

    folks that don't put locks on their locker at the gym. I must have opened 15 yesterday before I found an empty one. Almost made me want to rifle through a few and leave notes like "hey, nice watch" or "wow, Amex black card, go you..."

    all the overly scientific talk about TDEE and BMR is irritating almost as much as the people who complain 2 weeks in that they arent losing any weight when they are eating 1200 calories and burning 1000 per day. (YEAH RIGHT)

    People that tell me if I'd loose weight and eat better that I wouldn't be diabetic. Yes, both are helping my pancreas' ability to produce insulin but neither will cure me!

    People (mostly women in particular) who say "God I'm fat" or "I look fat today", and they are twigs. Seriously, you're fat? Then I don't even want to know what you think of me.

    What irritates me is that people feel the right to comment on your/my body, in general. A compliment is one thing but even so, as a woman, I feel like I am constantly being measured up (or down) for someone else's approval. Stop it! Love your body, love everyone's body. Support health and fitness but stop sizing people up! Good luck on your goals.

    This I understand, I get weird reactions to stuff like that sometimes too. I'm more thinking about the gross people who just can't be bothered too yuck. I always keep my paper towel to touch the handles with to open the door too. I also keep hand sanitizer with me for the places that inevitably run out of soap as well lol...

    So much this. I talk to my kids all the time about "your body is your business, and other people's bodies are their business. We do not discuss other people's bodies." And we don't. Why should we? It's not our business.

    Pet peeve: When people react with shock and disbelief that I am doing p90x (I'm fat. And?). Apparently, only super-fit people can do p90x. I'm three weeks into it so far, and I'm doing just fine, tyvm. Also? I will totally admit to being pretty doggone proud of myself for doing it at my weight because let's face it: It's not the easiest workout to just dive into after several years of sedentary-ness.

    (and to whoever up there said it wasn't possible to not lose weight while burning lots of calories and eating right? Meh. I'm eating 1500 - 1600 calories a day and burning nearly 900 five to six days a week.. Haven't lost anything yet, but that's not uncommon on this program because of the intensity of the exercise: muscles tend to swell with water initially. *shrug* Instead of judging others, consider there might be more to the story that you don't know. I'm not complaining about my lack of loss. It is what it is. I mostly care about feeling better, having energy and living healthier. If I lose weight, awesome. If I don't, I'm still healthier than if I wasn't living like this.)

    The only thing that irritates me is when people tell me that I don't need to lose weight.
    It's not even just about losing weight, it is about feeling good, strong and healthy!
    Just because THEY are heavier, does not mean that I should stop trying to exercise or eat well!
    *ugh*

    We do the hand sanitizer thing too, especially if you can't shut off the water, get a paper towel without touching a knob and then head out the door without touching it too. They are already covered in bacteria and viruses so I don't see the harm. Most of the time I wash, shut the water off with a towel, then open the door while I toss the paper towel into a trash can near it. Then I use hand sanitizer again, especially if it's a restaurant I'm eating at.

    People who say "ohhhhhh, next time you go for a hike/walk/jog/run let me know.. I want to go, too." . So you let them know.. and again and again and again and they always say they're "busy".. Mid-run your fb alert goes off on your phone- it's them whining about how they wish they could-- (you guessed it) LOSE WEIGHT!!!

    I understand we weren't all given the same motivation levels, but when you constantly complain about something that needs changing in your life and are NOT doing anything to change it, then really-- stfu.

    And that doesn't just apply to weight loss/fitness. That is just the current example I have to go on.

    Hm. When people tell me that I don't need to lose weight or that I shouldn't lose weight, I'm flattered for the most part... but also irritated. They ALWAYS tell me this in response to me saying 'no' to eating out or having some pastries or a starbucks drink.

    I don't NEED to lose weight, but I want to eat healthier and FEEL healthier! Shedding some pounds would be good but it isn't completely necessary. I wanna eat right, get used to it, and get in shape and be the most energetic thing ever!

    Watching Teen Nick with the kids, and seeing stuff that I wouldn't have seen 15 years ago. I.E. kids hardcore making out, same sex making out, damn...even opposite sex making out. It is scary to see so much exposed.... and IT'S geared towards teens... pitty...

    Very true, ABC family is even worse.
