*kitten* People Say To People Who're Trying To Lose Weight!

My ex (while we were still married) said- "If you'd just gain another 40 pounds instead, you could qualify for bariatric surgery." ARGH!

Which HE had, which was an ultimate FAIL.

Years ago I had a medical problem and lost over 50 pounds in the 6 weeks I was on bed rest. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. When I came back to work my coworkers were jealous and mean. I got things like, " must be nice to go on vacation and come back looking hot" , "we slave away at work while you get to relax and have a good time for 6 weeks."

This time no one, besides my immediate family have even noticed my weight loss.

when you go clothes shopping with a friend and they are really skinny and beautiful and they come out the dressing room with a really pretty dress on going '' do i look big in this '' its like O_O please stop your killing me i would die to FIT into something that pretty

Someone told me a few times (last time was just last week) that I need to stop going to the gym because I don't need to lose any more weight. I was ~150 lbs. a couple months ago; now I fall between 133 and 136 lbs (I'm 4'11").

Same person told me I need to gain back the weight I lost.. said I looked "so much better" when I was 150 lbs. Thing is, they didn't believe me that I actually did weigh 150 lbs.. said I was exaggerating.

They ask me what I'm up to throughout the day a bit often, and since going to the gym is usually on my agenda, it annoys them when they hear me say I went to the gym.

"Why are you even going still?"
"You're going to look anorexic."

I told them losing weight is still a focus of mine, but not as significant as before. Now, it's about gaining muscle and toning up. They then said "Then why are you going to the gym then?"

I pretty much stopped mentioning anything fitness-related to them. They still ask about it anyway though, but no matter what response(s) I give, they make remarks that just makes me want to punch them in the face.

On another note, I remember a few yrs ago (2010-2011) I lost 20-30 lbs. I was a little over 150 for a while then went down to 130ish. I ran into this girl on campus I hadn't seen in a long time, and the first thing she said was: "Oh my God, Jen. What's wrong? You look sick. You're skinnier." I was like um... no, I lost weight to look and be more healthy o_o

F**** THESE WEIGHTS IN THE P****


GET IN OR GO HOME



BIG GIRLS(HEAVY WEIGHTS) NEED LOVE TOO


EVERYONE WANTS TO BE A BODYBUILDER BUT NOBODY WANTS TO MOVE ANY HEAVY *kitten* WEIGHT



RE-RACK YOUR WEIGHTS BRO...

"You're like, obsessed with counting calories now"

Um....ok? I've lost 20 pounds so...I guess that's a good thing?

Co-worker: "Can I eat fruit?"

Me: "If it fits into your daily calorie goal, yes."

Co-worker: "I thought fruit didn't have calories."

Me: :explode:

How incredibly rude!

SO many stupid comments, but some of the stand-outs:

People putting me down:

"You're really dumb for using an iphone app to monitor your health. Only a retard would do that."

After I tell them I cleared it with my doctor - "Well, you should go to someone else because clearly your doctor doesn't know what they're talking about."

"1200 calories a day is anorexic. You should check yourself into the local hospital because you clearly have an eating disorder."

"Anyone who counts calories has an eating disorder."

"You have a self-esteem problem and your dieting is self-destructive. You should go to a psychologist."

People trying to give stupid advice:

"You don't lose weight counting calories. It's only carbs that are bad for you. You should eliminate all of them from your diet, including fruits and vegetables. I haven't eaten carbs, fruits or vegetables in six years and I've lost 100 pounds just eating nothing but meat and protein." (Okay, I guess you lost weight, but that sounds incredibly unhealthy to me and also I would never be able to just eat 100% meat all day long.)

Also, people trying to give advice on super obvious things when I didn't ask for any:

"Eat lots of vegetables."

"Drink lots of water, juice has sugar."

"Cut down on alcohol, it has a lot of calories."

And then the ever-helpful people who try to discourage you:

"Good luck staying on that. I predict you fall off the wagon in a month and gain in all back and more."

My favorite comes from someone who I won't name but..

Every time we'd go out to eat anything I would order or eat she'd tell me oh I can't eat that on my diet or wow you can really have that to aren't you dieting... And she'd eat half a chicken breast and get a salad dry and a baked potato dry and not even eat half of it and then binge on cakes and sweets and bad stuff the next time I was with her and then my husband would tell her how good I was doing and what I was eating and she'd say well I can't do that I AM doing this diet instead.....

Now we just saw her and she said wow what are you doing!! Now she actually wanted to know what I had been doing and what I have been eating... And although I haven't lost in a few weeks and actually gained my body is majorly changing shape from working out.. So it was good to be noticed and not put down or second guessed for once

Mothers! Oy! Mine once bought me a size 24W sweater for Christmas so that I could have something "that doesn't show your gut all the time"

At the time, i was 5'7" and ~155 lbs and wore a size 10-12.

Husband says "Where is my dinner you fat *kitten* b*tch?" Or let's go out to eat tonight. But I love you. He's a drunk who drinks mostly his liquid diet and has lost tons of weight. Always, complains about my cooking but if I allow him to help me in the kitchen then it's according to him the best meal ever. Taste buds must change when you drink a fifth a rum a day with your diet coke.

Man, some of you have pretty crappy people in your life... I have plenty of people that say how well I've done, but instead of taking it as a compliment or becoming satisfied with it, I use it as motivation because I'm only halfway there! I feel bad for some of the women in this post because other people try to put a value on you or determine your worth by saying those things. Most people claim they meant nothing by it, but then why say anything? Don't listen to the haters, keep shooting for your goals (healthy goals, not dropping weight as fast as possible) and make sure to lift!!! Most people that I see lose tons of weight fast do look sick because they had no muscle before and even less after that weight loss!!! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

:noway:

so how's the relationship working out for you?

Ugh, for a class once we all went out to Cracker Barrel, and while everyone got pancakes and stuff i got 2 fillets of trout, and thats it. Some girls sat by me and said, are you Vegan or something? -Seriously, Vegan? Lol.

People tell me stuff I'm doing wrong, or I should eat so much. Once someone said, I don't see how you can lose weight, with you eating so much. - I was netting less than 1000 calories at the time ( I know, bad! )

People try to constantly sabatoge me too! I mean goodness, yes, a slice of pizza won't kill me, but I don't eat stuff like that, so it's going to end up makign me sick. Just let me be... xD

Not well at all but he won't leave and it's my house. Just obtained a eviction notice waiting for him to piss me off again. Last Sat nite almost called police.
