Things that suck about losing weight...

That comment drives me nuts! I think people think it a compliment but, no. I know how I want to look, it is not an unrealistic goal and if I am eating healthy, exercising and losing weight, then why do I not need to lose more. I lost 40 pounds and was a size 4. I was not "skinny" at all! still had plenty of fat on my thighs and rear. People continually said, you look great you don't need to keep going. Well, I wasn't going to show them a pic of naked to prove them wrong so, I just said, "thank you". They headed for fast food on their lunch hour and I ate healthy in my office. Don't tell me I look good so I will hit the McDonalds drive thru with you for lunch!

Things flap now.
Arms flap. Thigh meat flaps. Stomach flap flaps.

I do Jillian's 30 day shred and it sounds like I have an audience clapping for me. loudly. :blushing:

Some clothes don't fit, others do. Some things are waaaaaay too big and fall off me, others fit weird, buy new clothes and they fit weird...Not sure of my size, just dont want to find out...somewhere between 18-20 (19.5, maybe?)

People ask me "oh, youre trying to lose weight? why?" hello, you dont see this 282lb im carrying around? it aint for fashion!

People see I'm losing and say: "oh, what pill are you on?" this new one called "diet and exercise" man, its working like a charm!

Fellow fat people see me working out or eating right and they say: "oh, I cant do that. Im just gonna cut back and ill lose" while biting burger or inhaling fries. Yeah. Let me know how that works out.

People who make stupid comments about my goal. i tell them that I want to be 165, or a size 6-8, whichever one comes first (I was a solid 10 at 185) and they say "oh thats too small, you will be good at about a 14" yeah, thats still overweight and unhealthy. thats not what I want.

I just want to wear a tshirt that says: "yes, im losing weight. No, you cant comment. Have a great day!"

I love everything about this post.. freakin' golden, all of it!! I'm totally with you on the "Oh you'll be good at (insert their idea here.)" Seriously!? Haha!

All of this. Especially the clapping, lol.

My goal is to get to a size ten, something I have never even dreamed of before. My mom keeps telling me I can't do it, that it's unrealistic because she was a size 10 before she had me, and she was a toothpick. I try to explain to her that sizes have changed, but she just keeps insisting I will probably never be that small. I might not, but that's not going to stop me from making it a goal.

Here's mine- people telling me that I "don't need to lose any more weight."

They don't know my body, I do!

I know that I was a knockout at a solid, awesomely toned 135-138lbs, and I want that back! Right now I'm at 147. Just because I don't have a lot to lose doesn't make my goals frivolous or less important.

Rant completed, and thank you for the thread :-)

I totally agree with this. I may not be "fat" but that doesn't mean I don't have a way to go before I am at my personal best weight and fitness level. I can't share any of this with my friends. They all think I'm being stupid because I "look fine". None of them are in shape and they don't understand at all I'm lucky my boyfriend is in on this with me.

Truthfully, I don't tell anyone my goal. I don't want to hear that crap. I know what I looked like at 130-140 and I was hot (even though I thought I was fat then. Little did I know.)

Don't know if anyone has this problem... but I'm actually looking forward to my boobs getting a lot smaller, because they're awkward and (I think) ugly and uncomfortable. I can't find a coat that will button over these monsters and I can't cross my arms anymore.

I hear you here! I can't sleep on my stomach, I need the boob pillow when I get massaged, and forget button up shirts. I even wear minimizer bras and a tight tank slimming thing under my shirts. My boobs are so big they have their own mailing address.

Along with a lot of what's been said, I don't like the weird/inappropriate questions.

I've had people ask me what I eat. I give some examples of healthy foods (not rocket science), and they ask, "Is that what you ate today? Like what did you eat for breakfast today?"

What size are you now?

What do you weigh?

Have you reached your goal yet?

What do you do for exercise?

How much does it cost to do that/can you afford that?

How does your husband feel about your weight loss? (And this one I think is fishing for a joke about sex, frankly. I lost 82 lbs after my son was born, and when my son was about 18 months old, I got pregnant again - totally planned, not that it matters. Someone joked with me that of course we were going to have a second baby after I got myself in shape - insinuating that my husband wouldn't be able to keep his hands off me, so OF COURSE he was going to knock me up sooner or later... A-hole.)

Kind of like people ask me weird questions (like do I have to pee in the middle of the night) because I'm pregnant, questions which would otherwise be totally inappropriate, when you've lost a significant/noticeable amount of weight, all of a sudden people feel that inappropriate topics are up for discussion.

The boobs. Definitely the saddest part of my weight loss. 38C to barely 34B. No money for a boob job. So, well, shape wear is my friend!

I am literally so excited to lose my boobs. I am a 38D right now and would give ANYTHING to be a 34B again. It's amazing how different people have such different goals, right?

Has anyone mentioned being hungry? The worst part about losing weight is being hungry.

I started out at about 40H, by my best guess I'm down to about 36DDD..I haven't bought new bras yet so I'm perpetually walking around with safety pinned bras. I JUST bought the ones I have just a few months before I started losing weight and I'm cheap. I already had to buy 4 more pairs of jeans (2 x14 and 2x12) because my old ones fall off now. I HATE HATE HATE spending money on stuff - I have money, I just hate spending it on stuff.

The next thing is that I miss being able to eat I love food and it sucks not being able to eat it! I miss being able to go out frequently for nice dinners (and dessert) and I miss not having to ask the waitress for the 'nutrition binder' and just being able to order what sounded good to me. Needless to say I really don't enjoy eating out much anymore because I can't choose what I want to eat and instead have to choose what I 'can' eat based on my calories for that day.
