What's the funniest comment you have had..

Back in the day... My Grandmother said I was to fat. Lost weight then she said I was to thin. Decided there was no pleasing Grandmama.

I started out needing to lose over 200 pounds. After almost two years I'm halfway there. So the other day my father tells me "You're fat. You need to lose weight. "

Gosh I never realized that. All the weight lost so far was just an accident. Now that I know I'm fat I can get right on that.

No, I lose weight because I'm structured, disciplined, and actually make sacrifices every single day...also I could point out 1000 MFP users who've lost a lot of weight without being a dude..

LMFAO! SERIOUSLY? I love that one! Jealousy is such an hilarious thing to behold. "You can only lose weight because you're a dude". (Maybe she (I'm guessing) cannot lose weight because she's a dud'?) And you are so right. Losing weight, getting fit/healthy is a choice! It's a choice you have to make every minute of every day. At work, someone offers a piece of cake or whatever. You choose to have a chunk of that sweet, or a sliver, or pass it up with a polite "not this time, but thanks." You go out to dinner with friends - you choose to have that big, cholesterol-laden, fat and calorie-filled meal, or you opt for something less 'offensive' to your body. You choose to get up an extra half hour early in the morning to workout before you shower and get ready for work/or to stop at the gym or whatever to workout after work.

With rare exception, we have all chosen the lives we have - and that includes obesity or a flabby, sloppy, unhealthy body. There is no margin for blaming someone else. You're diagnosed with lung cancer? You have been smoking since you were fourteen? You CHOSE that! The doctor finds "a few dozen beef, bacon, cheeseburgers in your arteries (cholesterol)? You CHOSE to eat 'dirty' fast food instead of eating 'smart'. We can also choose to do everything in our power to reverse those negative outcomes of past choices. Everyday is a chance to start anew... to overcome the choices we might regret of a previous day.

It's easy to make excuses for why we don't do 'the right thing'. It is less so to actually take action to overcome those excuses. But... Every journey begins with the first step. And, with fitness, that literally means a step! Sometimes it's harder to take that step than others but... Don't give up! Once you decide you are worth the sacrifice, promise yourself that you will do what's right. Then keep your promise to yourself and Do It!

Well... That or... You can only lose the weight because you're a dude... Or is it because you're not over fifty? Or... maybe because...???

@H34v3nlSin, Yeah, but you don't want to find it again (like I did),

Another one I get from older women (I'm 24 - So I do not mean that in an offensive way, I just work with women that range from about 40-50, I'm the youngest!) "It's EASY for you - you're so young! It's harder at my age".

Way to discredit my hard work!!

What 'they' don't realize is that it is not 'easy' for almost anyone. It takes hard work and dedication to the goal to make anything happen, even weightloss.

This kind of thinking is the biggest part of the problem.

I can't do that <whine> it's hard </>

Anything ... *anything* can be Easy or Hard/Difficult depending on motivation/attitude.

The old lady was just making excuses for herself. She needs an Attitude Adjustment.

HAH! There should be an AA group for people like her!

I have an ex who told me that I was starting to look like a Barbie doll...all boobs and legs. It was his way of complimenting and insulting me at the same time. Same ex started spreading the rumor that I had had weight-loss surgery when we broke up.

Lots of people have told me that I look taller.

I've been told like 3 times that I look shorter... I'm 5'3" I don't have many inches to lose

I had one from here asking me why don't I have gastric bypass or a sleeve done bc I obviously have b.e.d.

I said well bc I am not morbidly obese, I've managed my binge quite well on my own and why would I cut into my body if not medically necessary, what would that teach me anyway about my relationship With food? It really took me aback bc I had lost around 25 at that point and it changed my view on this person drastically.

That lady is not ok. Very strange thing to say to someone you are not VERY close to.

You just keep moving forward. If you lost 25 pounds - you can lose the rest! You got this!

Finally!
