    That if I am in a bad mood it is because I am hungry. Sometimes, yes, that's it. However, sometimes I am in a bad mood because people do really stupid *kitten* and it irritates me.

    That I can't possibly get enough protein....

    As a vegetarian, I agree with this one...x100.

    Also, that I must be extremely lazy or stuff my face 24/7 because I'm a fat vegetarian. Also, another big one is that because I'm overweight and married to a soldier, that I'm probably a "dependapotamus". That one probably bothers me more than any other stereotype. :explode:

    I've also been told I was mistaken for being b!tchy or a snob just because I'm insanely shy and socially awkward at first. I'm one of the most laid-back and friendly people I know, so I really regret letting my social anxiety make me seem otherwise!

    That I had weight loss surgery to "take the easy way out" or to avoid diet and exercise. I have to count calories, weigh/measure food intake and exercise daily to keep the weight coming off and once I get it off, I will have to do that the rest of my life to keep it off, JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER PERSON ON THE PLANET WHO IS SUCCESSFULLY LOSING AND KEEP IT OF. Weight loss surgery is a tool not a magic wand.

    That because I'm 23 and at University and don't drink that I'm missing out on the oh-so-essential "Student Experience".

    That overweight people are unhealthy...this is so ridiculous - but this assumption is made all the time.
    The thinnest people I know are undergoing chemo...not exactly healthy. Healthy is MORE than a number on a scale or a dress size people. I know a lot of thin smokers...NOT HEALTHY.

    This.
  • Forgot my MFP annoyance.

    People on the general diet and weightloss area that assume if a person logs 1200 calories than their body has defied all physics and gained 15 pounds from "starvation mode" and/or put on 15 pounds of muscle in one month by "replacing the fat with muscle"


    Defo This^^^^^^

    That i'm just "naturally thin". Uhm, maintaining nearly the same size since I was 16 yrs old (I'm now going on 30) REQUIRES A LOT OF WORK AND BEING VERY CONSCIENTIOUS. (at least for me.)

    I could EASILY be three sizes bigger. I just simply don't allow it to happen. I *hate* it when someone says "I wish I was naturally thin like you..."

    I'm vegan so I must automatically be protein and calcium deficient.

    If you lift heavy weights doing less reps you will bulk up. You should be doing light weights with more reps...Uh huh...

    They assume that because I'm white, my whole family is white.
  • 1) That because I look a certain ethnicity then I MUST be that ethnicity ("Really? You're mixed? WTF.")
    2) That because I am a woman I can't REALLY be into videogames/computer games/comic books
    3)That because I have tattoos and piercings I must be "kinky"
    4) That because I have a mental illness, I must be a deranged serial killer
    5)That because I am friends with the band member you are obsessed with, I must be a slutty groupie
    6) That because I practice an "alternative" religion, I MUST be a devil worshipper
    7) That because I am "skinny", I must be stuck-up or hate "fat" people
    8) That because I love animals and nature, I am an anarchist or hipster or meat-eater-hater

    The list could go on and on, but I think y'all get the point....

    That bc I'm 28 and single I must be greeted with "awwwww" and words of sympathy- or that I should enjoy hearing about /obsessing over babies and rings all day
  • -That because I am a light-skinned black woman, I am stuck up or have some kind of superiority complex (this is a big issue in the black community...it's really stupid)

    -That because I am black AND/OR a woman I can't like video games, anime, comic books, etc.

    -That because I am 'slim' I must watch everything I eat ...yeah. I do watch everything I eat. I'm eyeing the hell out of a six pack of beer as we speak

    Also shy...but also don't want to be bothered.
  • Most annoying things:

    1. people who eat a bunch of junk food and assume if they go to the gym for 20 minutes once every 3 weeks, it's burned off (my sister does this and wonders why she's still not losing and yes I've tried to help)

    2. guys who think because I have kids I'm easy

    3. if you're irish you must be an alcoholic (my bf's excuse for drinking. BTW he's French too)

    4. that green tea pills or any type of "weight loss" fad is the miracle everyone's been waiting for

    5. because im independent and don't take someone's crap, I'm a ***** (that one could be true) lol

    I hate too when I say I'm a certain weight and someone says "oh wow me too" when clearly they are bigger than you. My sister does this. I said I was 194 She was 192. I said I was 190 she was 190. I said I was 186 she's 184. She's SOOO not though.
