Is It Weird that I Hate Talking About my Weight Loss?

I do, but for slightly different reasons. My coworkers (well, 3 of the 4 in my department) are trying to lose weight, and most of that group started off bigger than my highest. I don't share because one of them is on a roll in motivation, dedication, and progress... and it feels wrong to take any part of her spotlight by admitting my own loss. So I'm just exercising with her and the others during our morning walks rather than "losing weight" as far as their concerned; they know, but I don't talk about it unless it's about them.

I feel the same way. It's fine with close friends, but it feel really weird coming from coworkers and family members. I've always been a fairly private person, so talking about myself has always made me uncomfortable. Try to be gracious, then change the subject if you like.

No. I don't care for it myself. I think it has more to do why I gained a few pounds.

I thought we already did this one? NO it's not weird, it's because you instinctively know they might be leading into backhanded compliments, direct insults when they realize they don't have the gumption to do whatever you say you did, or unsolicited ridiculous advice.

I don't think it's weird at all. I personally sorta feel the same way. I'm Hispanic and I don't know if it's the thing in primarily Hispanic families but the majority of my family members have no qualms about making constant comments about a person's weight. All the while offering you a plate of rice and beans and getting offended when you turn it down, but that's another story. I hate admitting the amount of weight I've lost so far to them because I'm still heavy, and though I am proud of my progress I'm just not comfortable talking about it. At least not to them. I dread the inevitable "Really, but omg how much did you weigh BEFORE?!" question that almost always follows.

So, I've learned to either brush it off or just change the subject.

I have a friend who is forever making comments about it whenever she sees me, it gets annoying so I just smile and move on x I can understand how its weird, when I was large it was people making horrid comments so any kind of comment about my weight kind of freaks me out even if it is nice.

Personally it doesn't bother me at alll. Most people are recognizing your hard work, some are looking for advice. Many people don't understand how personal weight loss is, especially if they've never had to do it. You should not feel obligated to explain anything to anyone. There are a couple ways to get around this... so when someone says , "Wow, you've lost so much weight, how'd you do it?"
You could say something general, like "lots of hard work" or "eating healthy". You don't have to go into the details of every workout. If you keep your answers short, you can change the subject immediately, so when someone says "wow, you look great, how much weight have you lost," You don't have to give a specific number, something like "enough to feel happier," or "quite a few pounds," then change the subject, "by the way, I love your shirt" Changing the subject should be that person's cue that you don't really want to discuss your weight loss. If they don't understand that and keep persisting it's fine to say "I'm really not comfortable talking about it," or "It's been a very personal journey for me that I'm not quite ready to share yet." anyone with good sense will see where you are coming from!

I find it incredible awkward, weight isn't something you really talk about unless it's with family or those close to you (for fear of being rude). If it comes up, it's only briefly mentioned and then the conversation topic changes.

I think I'm more embarrassed about it now since my weight loss so far isn't really visible yet. ><

It can be a bit uncomfortable when they go on and on about how great I look. What I try to do though is use it as a teaching moment if the person seems like they want to know more about my journey. It is great that people notice but I do totally get what your saying too

My canned responds is: Moving more, eating less. They seem disappointed at my responds, however it is the truth, no magic pill here.

Ah yes, I have been asked and when I reply changing my diet, no fast food, exercise and hard work I sometimes get that blank stare. You know the one because I'm sure you've gotten it LOL Or I get...oh... You're right, no magic here just tried and true hard work and being diligent about eating healthy!

I feel the same way but for me it is because I feel like when people ask me about weight loss particularly my family (I lost 15 pounds pre-myfitnesspal) they they are somehow insinuating that I deserve to be treated like crap about it when I am fat but as soon as I start losing weight that they can start telling me how amazing I will look if I keep it up. Skinny people always got treated better in my family. So I don't want them to think they can start treating me better suddenly because I got the weight off.
