in Introduce Yourself
I have a big tum and people are always asking me if I'm pregnant. Even more depressing was recently when a woman came up to me and said 'not long now!' indicating to my stomach. The worst thing is I've almost resigned myself to being fat. I need motivation. So this is why I've joined myfittnesspal

    Why do people do that?! I don't get it at all, it's not really anyones place to comment on a stranger, least of all when you could be wrong and really upset people. Pfft!

    I think that's the case for a LOT of us on here. But welcome to MFP, if you're honest with the tracker and with yourself you should find that it's a lot easier than you thought. Best of luck :)

    that's happened to me too. This one time I even gave the guy an 'out'. He said, "when are you expecting" and I said, "expecting what?" to which he should have answered anything but, "the baby, you're pregnant aren't you?"... sigh

    The problem here is that they don't mean to be cruel. They really think you're pregnant.

    If this would happen to me I would definitely be upset aswell,but the point is that they meant to be nice,so just try to forget about it.

    Good luck on your weight loss journey. I've added you. :smile:

    Why is it that men never get that comment? :tongue:

    When I started I didn't think I could lose the weight either. I've been fat my entire adult life, and I'd told myself I just couldn't do it. But guess what? I can ... I'm doing it, and it's not nearly as hard as I thought it was going to be.

    I will say that one of my favourite things about the way my body shape has changed since I've started losing weight is that my stomach is no longer the first thing to enter a room. Now it's my boobs. :blushing:
