Strange weight loss comments...

When I lost weight the first time around and I was working...a lot of my customers noticed.This one customer said" Omg! Look at you! You look like a little model....wait....you don't have cancer or anything do you? ?" . I have a friend also tell me that I was getting too skinny and I was beginning to look like a bobble head I guess I had a big head and little body ? Lol... I look foward to those comments again lol

I think that the strangest comment is the "non" comment. Everyone has noticed that I lost 28lbs. Not one comment from my husband. My parents even commented in front of him and still no comment. Nothing. My daughter even said mom you have to start buying pants that fit lol. Still not a word. Strange....

I had that happen when I took a job delivering packages. I lose 25 pounds in less than six months just from the extra movement, but my husband never said a word. He's now the ex-husband, and I have a husband who loves me no matter what I weigh, but he always notices my effort and my results!

I decided at one point to go to a nutritionist. It was after my daughter an while I was not huge I wanted help getting a handle on healthy eating. I stopped going when she said to me, "well if you want to substitute candy for a piece of fruit each day you can. Also its not like your that big, you look fine to me".

I don't remember where I was on being overweight, not where I am now, but seriously it was about learning to eat healthy so I wouldn't end up where overly large. Obviously I missed something.

With that kind of weight loss you'll be at your goal in no time.

This was after I'd lost maybe 40 pounds. I don't think that person realized that I still had about 150 more pounds to lose to be at my ultimate goal weight.

My grandmother said "Wow, I never thought I'd see you that small ever again."

SMH!

In 2011 my husband and I had both lost a lot of weight. At that time I was down about 80 lbs, unfortunately I put some back on but it's coming back off now, and he was down about 70. This friend of ours saw him and was just gushing over how good he looked. Then she looked at me and got a sour look on her face, looked down at my new shoes and said "oh those are nice shoe". I thought to myself WTF? The strange thing is we have had that happen with a few others just minus the shoe comment. They will gush over him and just ignore me. My husband will point out my weight loss and they just tune it out.

My husband and I are both losing right now too and while he is loosing more than me... Him=20lbs Me = 12lbs, no one seems to notice me! They all gush over him. Im a little jealous, but it is just helping to motivate me to work harder : )

My little sister was getting rid of some clothes and she had a men's size small tshirt that I asked if I could keep because i like it and it would be awesome to be able to have it as an inspiration item. (currently in a tightish size medium at 185 lbs with goal of 130-140)

my boyfriend's response: "if you get to the point where you can comfortably wear a small tshirt, i probably wont be attracted to you anymore. that would be too skinny."

well then i guess ill find someone who is attracted to me??

If he can't love you for who you are on the inside then yes, you will find someone who is... the outside is the wrapper, the inside is a gift. This goes for both men and women.

"Are you smoking crack???" :noway:

I'd start looking now.

17 years ago I lost weight and was a weight no one had seen me at before as I spent all of my teens being between 133-147 lbs and only 5ft 3.
I had got down to 119
I was had a healthy bmi even though the method at the time to loose the weight wasn't healthy ,but My Grandma told me I was painfully thin.
I was thin but PAINFULLY THIN...i was not,there was no bones poking out any where.
I still think it was a strange thing to say.

My neighbor said to me, "You were pretty before, but now that you lost some weight you really are pretty". I had a million thing I wanted to say but I was speechless.

Years ago when I lost weight the first time I had a work mate who confronted me and told me I was too thin and should stop. Then she said my personality has changed since I lost weight and she didn't like the new one (wtf). Then she told me that she was going to report me to the boss if I lost any more weight! Needless to say after months of constant comments by her to lose I stopped losing (I never even reached my normal BMI) and I gave up till I eventually quit that job. Funny thing was she was short and fat and about 30 years older than me. I was doing it the healthy way that time too but without MFP which I hadn't discovered (just diet and exercise) and she was doing all sorts of weirdo tea-bag diets and paying big money for vibratone.

Pfft, I would have just let her report me to the boss for the rediculious reason and let him see how crazy she is. No reason to stop what your doing or leave your job over (not saying that was the reason you left, but just assuming that were the case). Some of the nuttiest weight loss comments seem to come from coworkers...wtf.

Fair warning: There is nothing dirty in what I am about to say, minds out of the gutter people...

My husband was tickling me last night in bed, apparently my flailing limbs hit him. He says to me, "I don't know if you know this or not, but you have bony places now...not just fluff. That kinda hurt."

Um, thanks (I guess) for the status of my 'bony places'?

This is the best thread ever. i have been laughing out loud!

What really pisses me off comment-wise, is when people say things like - "Oh, don't lose any more weight!" When I was legitimately fat (25 lbs heavier), not one person said, "Oh, don't gain any more weight!" Now that I am in the best shape of my life, people are only concerned with how "skinny" I am. It's ridiculous.

Something I really despise from all my friends & family is:

- Why aren't you eating? You've been eating healthy, treat yourself. (this being said while I'm still morbidly obese)
- Your legs and butt are soo small, boy you are really disproportionate (I get this ALL.THE.TIME)
- * person tries on my jacket because its to die for* then says " oh yeah, its wayyy too big on me, but its a nice jacket",..( wtf did you think it was going to be, your half my size!!!!! its one of their ways to make me feel gross, doesn't work, but its noted).
- Just have a little bit, its not going to hurt you, you're losing weight so slow anyway, this wont affect it. (OUCH).
- Have you ever broken a heel on your high heels because of weight? I wonder if there's a weight limit to them? (after my disgusted look person says:) " I'm just asking, I didnt know if there was". (B****)



I don't know how people feel, but depending on my mood is how I respond to this:

" Omg, wow, look how much weight you've lost, you look really fantastic "...

All I can think is " did I look like **** before and that gross you couldn't compliment on ALL those days I tried super hard to give fat ppl a good name by dressing for my body, doing my hair & make up and walking with my head held high? but you compliment me now?" **that's my negative thinking** lol,.
