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.0 -
You look great now. Maybe you are just meant to be that size.
So many comments similar to this one in this thread. The only thing I can figure is other people want everyone else to be fatter than them, so they try to discourage the people around them.
It's the "crabs in a bucket" mentality:

I'm appalled at the stories in this thread. It says so much about the human race and why so many people are so messed up when you've got that kind of "support" around you. People suck.
Here are some inspirational photos of good people to cheer everyone up:

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.0 -
Rude person: You need a new bra. That one is too big for you now.
Me: Stop looking at my chest.0 -

"You don't need to lose weight. You look okay."
Pls, you make fat jokes all the time and then when I show initiative I'm all of a sudden not hambeast status. At least be consistent.
OMG! that is soooo true.. before i lost a few pounds verybody.. like veery single person was mocking me .. ,making fun of me at birthday parties, get togethers, weddings... teasing me in public and all i can do was to smile.. now when i lost few pounds everybody was like SHAUHJDKHUEHANKJD WHY DID YOU LOSE WEIGHT?YOU LOOK ILL!! STOP LOSING WEIGHT! GAIN BACK! I WANT THE OLD YOU.. i mean seriously whats up with people? they are not happy either way /0 -
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_o0 -
I'm 5'10" tall and before I started losing weight people were saying "oh you're so tall so if you have 200lbs is nothing to worry about", but with my 210 I was just in the obese category :O how could people say I lok OK when I was obese (and was like that for only about 2 years, before that I was always normal and had abou 160-170lbs so people knew me even when I was not obese). Noone wanted to tell me I look fat and were making excuses for me :O0

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...0 -
I don't get invited to eat in the cafeteria upstairs by my co-workers anymore :sad:
I just want to be part of the group! (And the food is pretty good too)0 -
"You're like, obsessed with counting calories now"
Um....ok? I've lost 20 pounds so...I guess that's a good thing?0 -
My other favorite came when I said I'm thinking about starting to lift...
"Ewww you're going to look like a man"0 -
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:0 -
I was told that about the Atkins diet too...... He slipped on some ice and died of a head injury! Geezzzz0

How incredibly rude!0

My mother: "You're dieting.. and you're eating THAT??" (in reference to a small slice of chocolate cake after I walked 5 miles that day pushing my son around in a stroller.)
Me: I burned a LOT of calories today and if I feel that I want a small slice of cake I can have it.0 -
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."0 -
My boss had one of her family members (who doesn't even know me) ask her, "What is that Brittany girl doing to lose weight?!", kinda making it sound like I'm doing something other than working my butt off for it.
"Bet you'd like to have a piece of this, huh? :laugh:" -__-
This ^^^ all day long!!!
It's almost like people are hoping you will give them some magic secret! Uh no, I'm up at 5am every morning to work my *kitten* off before my day even starts!!0 -
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 10-12.0 -

THAT IS TERRIBLE! HOW COULD THEY!0 -
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.0

Wow... just wow...
I have a "friend" of mine that has really said a few hurtful things to me recently, as I have been dieting. We had our January/February birthday luncheon, and all the birthday girls, and guys go to go first to make thier plates. So I made mine, nothing outlandish, and he comes in and goes "God, did you leave enough for the rest of us?" in a joking manner - so everyone turns around, and I tried to act not hurt by that, Im extremly sensative anyways. Then in the elevator the other day I was with a few customers, and he gets on with a newly hired person he had been given a tour to. I asked her how it had been going, and she was like oh I think I know the basics by now, and I said I do to that's all we really need to know, and the mean guy goes "She knows the importants like the cafeteria" and then like he caught himself I think because I didnt laugh, and then he goes, and the "pharmacy" and stuff... not sure but it's not funny, and it's hurtful.0 -
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:0

:noway:
so how's the relationship working out for you?0 -
Oh, good! Maybe now you can find a boyfriend.
Umm, really?
This from the same person who when I broke up with a previous bf said, "Don't let him make you feel bad, you're beautiful on the inside". . . . . Mom, the weight wasn't the problem. I met him on a BBW website!0 -
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... xD0 -
Someone told me this morning that I didn't need to lose any weight. I probably have another 25-30 pounds of fat to lose. It was nice to hear, but not exactly helpful.0

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.0

It's terrible being an alcoholic and he functions pretty well goes to work almost everyday. Being a widow I don't want to be by myself but living like this is killing me more then it's killing him. I really haven't done well on my diet mostly because of the stress in my life. But I am still a very happy person and try to do good in life. I already told him he is not invited to move with me when I retire.0
