people always commenting on your diet?

Sorry you have to deal with these painful people. Maybe make a comment about their food in return everyday and see how they like it.

I am sorry hun:( I know it stinks but smile and tell them you probably eat healthier than them so they should concern themselves with what they eat:)

I think people need to comment because they don't "get it" it is annoying, though isn't it? I agree either I am eating "too little" or "depriving" myself or making everyone gasp when I have a piece of chocolate, lol. You would think my weight loss would be proof enough that I know what I'm doing


Just can't win with others, so I just ignore them.

You make a valid point! If you get those looks I would probably say- so how much weight have you lost to have that idea?

I would like to add that I am on day 3, that is why I have not lost any yet

I get people telling me "one piece of cake won't hurt you" or this or that won't hurt now and then...they are right. But sometimes a little taste of something bad will make me start craving it...so I just bite my tongue while they eat their fries covered in cheese and gravy and eat my salad and chicken and admire how far I have come and how they complain about how they want to lose weight and they walked this night or that night, but still are eating like crap....Whatever...I will just do what I am doing and try to mind my own business...

That's one reason I'm relucant to tell people I'm trying to lose weight...

Sometimes when people are like that I try to be as off-putting as they are. To the point it makes them uncomfortable. I get a weird thrill out of it.

co-worker: "You need to eat more. What health kick is this?"
me: "It's not. I'm just making better choices"
co-worker: "Well it really seems like you're on a crazy diet. You only brought meat, vegetables, fruit and nuts. You need more."
me: "What I brought is plenty. I'm just trying to be less fat."
co-worker: "You're not fat- you need to eat more"
me: "If you knew my weight, my health or anything about me you'd know this is long over-due. Would you like to phone my doctor to discuss this?"
co-worker: "oh- I didn't mean. That's too personal..."
me: "well it wasn't stopping you a minute ago when you announced that I'm on a 'crazy diet'. Why stop now?"

And now she NEVER talks to me about my food/my weight or anything that revolve around her opinions. Just the way I like it

my interaction with people is limited to minors and the occasional visit to my mother in laws for some great southern food, who is
pretty considerate, usually having healthier choices available. once in awhile my kids will tell me i shouldn't have such and such,
but most of the time they wouldn't notice if I ate 4 bowls of spaghetti in front of them. if they do make a comment there's a reminder
about it's ok to eat non less than healthy foods in moderation, or a thank you for helping keep me on track, bc i've told them to
tell me these things.

short answer no, but sometimes that would be a good thing for me.

Food is a big issue with MANY people. Too much, too little, fatty foods, only vegetables, etc. A lot of how it is viewed comes from your past. As an adult it is one of the few things you can 100% control. When you were little and someone put spinach in front of you and said eat it, mostly you did, because you were told to, even if you hated spinach (put your own ick food in there).
Anyway, most people who comment care - maybe not about you per se, but for them food is an issue in one way or another. There are tons of sarcastic, snide or rude remarks that one can make to keep this from happening, but it is easiest to say "thanks for your concern, but I am good." If they continue then feel free to tell them to bugger off - cause what goes into your body affects them in no way.
Mostly if it is someone who really cares about you then you can explain a little more - ie, if I eat this little kit kat it keeps me from eating that whole bag of M&M's and I have made this fit into my count today, but thanks for your concern!
People want to put in their 2 cents worth on everything. keep your sense of humor and just let it roll off like water on a ducks wing!

One coworker always says *kitten* like "You've lost so much weight, you're almost anorexic." i've lost 50 pounds in a year and a half. I eat a lot. I just ate some french fries! I just eat way less than i used to and I work out almost every day. And I make much healthier choices (yogurt, fish, tofu, kale and brussels sprouts are staples now) and haven't eaten red meat or chicken in 2 years...

Weight loss eludes so many people for so long that those people will try to pick at you or trip you up, consciously or subconsciously. You know your body and you know if you are making choices within your plan. Eff everybody else.

Coworkers are the worst and sometimes I just eat away from their annoying eyes...good luck.

I recently (like last week lol) switched over to working 1st shift from 3rd shift where I had literally been the only female for the entire 2.5 yrs I worked on the shift. I usually would bring something light consisting of veggies or fruit just because I don't like to eat heavy at 2 am. So whenever I brought or ate something different like meat for instance, the guys would always give me crap. I knew they were joking but it does get old after awhile and at one point it got so I didn't like eating in front of them so much any more.
