"Counting calories is sad"...

Bang him mom when you reach your goal weight, then tell him that she didn't think it was sad.0

Everyone I've told about MFP has ended up joining. None of them log in anymore.0

I usually just reply with a quip about something they do being equally as "sad". If they get offended I redirect right back to them. Doesn't feel so good, does it? Shut the *kitten* up.
I've never had anyone comment on the fact I count calories, though.0 -

Or throw poo. You can always throw poo.
It's good to have this as an option.0 -
My reply in the past has been along the lines of: "You know what's sad? I used to weigh 217 lbs." Watching that sink in is amazing.0

Semi-certain. He's known for annoying everyone to the point of murder.
Knowing what he is like, why would you give any credence to what he says?
Pick you battles, let this one go, it isn't worth caring about.

Option 1:
annoying friend "that's so sad"
.... look up slowly.
slow blink.
you: "so are you- but I keep you around anyway"
look back down.
Option 2:
annoying friend "that's so sad"
>don't look up keep doing what you're doing<
I fail to see how my actions should illecit any emotion from you what so ever- for all you know I could have been playing candy crush- some how that would have been a more efficient and joyful use of my time???/
Option 3:
annoying friend "that's so sad"
Look up sharply with crazy wide eyes and whisper- looking nervously left and right
But the numbers- the numberss... they speak to me!!!! ssshhhshhhhhs can't you hear them?????
Option 4:
RKO out of no where?

I would probably hit him in the throat and, as he gasped for air, tell him that I bet it sucks more to be him, now. But, that's just me.0

My son uses it for tracking his calories and he's in a bulk. He wants to make sure he gets at least 3000 calories a day.
Some people....0 -
I'd ask him if he really thought that losing weight would be all unicorns and rainbows. I don't think anyone is happy about having to do it, but you got to do what you got to do.0

I'd say, "when I want to look like you, I'll eat like you". I have said this to "friends" and I'm sure I will say it again.0

I would say that but he has scoliosis, so it'd be a bit awkward. I guess he is fairly round though.0 -

yes- RKO of of no where- or a throat punch.
Option 5
annoying person "that's so sad"
... heavy silence
You < oh I'm sorry- i couldn't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am>
I like the that's so sad?... you mean- like your face.
that's a good one.
You're mom jokes are ALWAYS funny.
Anything that reverts back to my fabulous a@@ is usually something I go to as well.
Snark isn't nice- but it usually shuts up ignorant people who don't know when to just keep their opinions to themselves when they weren't asked for in the first place.
Snark first- actual explanations can be saved for people who actually are curious and give a flying fk.0 -

Or throw poo. You can always throw poo.
I am finding myself saying this in an exaggerated british accent ala chimps from Madagascar.

So true! My friends are generally really supportive of me. They always say that they are glad they don't have to do it though.0 -

Your friend needs to sort out his priorities.
Yes!!!0 -
The calories are there , whether you (or he) counts them or not.
Keeping track of what one eats in a country of unhealthy overweight & overeaters doesn't sound "sad" to me at all. It sounds Smart.
If he's really a good friend , Oh well , then we accept friends along with all their warts and blemishes (and thoughtless remarks). If he's just another workplace troll looking to rattle someone else's cage for his own entertainment , I'd say stay away from him as much as possible.0 -
LOL, instead of saying counting calories, I would say that I use MFP to help me stay healthy.
Don't bother. move on. be you. look down to ignorance0 -
Last time it happened to me was at work from a male coworker who said counting calories is stupid and obsessive, so I said "Compared to what? Looking down and not seeing anything past your stomach?" He got defensive cause he has a huge gut but never brought it up again.0

My brother-in-law saw me weighing my food one day and asked me if I was "going to weigh for a few months to understand portion sizes, then stop". He was shocked when I said I had no intention of stopping. I said "why would I stop? It only takes me a few extra seconds when dishing it onto my plate."0

I think this is what people do not realize. When you count calories, there is something in people that lead them to believe its an extra hour of work a day doing it. I tell people especially if you don't have new meals every single day it ends up taking a few minutes at most to log everything.

If this "friend" was in worse shape than I'm in, I'd probably say something bitchy like, "You may find it sad, but it's why I look like this and you look like that, so I think I'll keep doing it." If they are going to be rude, I'll happily be rude right back.0

A very uneducated response, IMHO.
Knowing the number of calories you are actually taking in, is so helpful to many of us in losing, or managing our weight.
Keep up the great work! Seeing the results will make this guy humble (maybe).0 -
Will becoming irate be productive or beneficial to you? Him?
As much as I dislike any mention of Jacobson's CSPI, I'm posting this link as an example. Many people do not count calories.

I think my response would be 'yes, I'm sad every morning I put my size 2 pants on......'!0

IT IS SAD!!!!, and that's my personal opinion.0
