    When I'm dieting or just trying to be healthy I general, and my friends want to go to out to eat, and I ask if we can go somewhere with healthy options and they just say "just get a salad" .....I freak in my head almost every time lol. Even though I love salads, they are typically very unhealthy at restaurants, and it just bugs me for some reason lol. What's yours?

    I don't have any pet peeves but I bet I know your friend's peeves; "Every time we plan to go out, pinggolfer96 wants to go somewhere he can eat healthy!"

    Sorry I don't want to go to southern comfort food or Taco Bell....

    I think he was being funny love

    People telling me that I'm so lucky that its so easy for me to lose weight. YEAH OKAY. Because losing over 140lbs total was easy. Because I don't bust my *kitten* daily working out and making sure I make the best choices I can.

    Also my mother haha. She was naturally very small her whole life (I was never small) and now that her inactive lifestyle has caught up to her she blames everything but her 4L of pepsi and chips daily addictions. She also keeps complaining about both her of cars being so much extra cash when she lives a 15 minute walk from her work and the stores (small town) yet refuses to simply walk to work rather than dish out for her car. >.< >.<

    People telling others to not eat their exercise calories if they want to lose weight despite the fact that they're using MFP for their numbers and should be adding them in.

    And the use of the "word" gyming. I hate that.

    Here on MFP I can't stand it when people give advice based on how they assume things work on here. For example I seen someone advising others that in order to lose weight they have to burn off all of the calories they eat thru exercise because that is what is working for him.

    In real life, I can't stand the MLM pushers. I just had another one yesterday. One of my friends is selling some kind of wellness stuff and asked me to check out her site.

    My parents are my biggest pet peeves. They watch way too much Oprah and Dr. Oz. I get articles in the mail and they mention these things all the time. Then the constant questions about if I am losing weight. Losing weight is such a small part of what I am doing. I am getting healthy and changing my lifestyle to something I can sustain and enjoy.
    They mean well and are also huge supporters, but they do make me bite my tongue A LOT

    most stuff i brush off, and dont even really notice.

    i think the only thing that gets my blood boiling is when someone tells me how i lost it 'so easily' - because they only SEE me eating out, and drinking and being with my friends. They DON'T see the hours at the gym and running, and counting calories, and making choices (like i made a huge batch of cookies and had NONE so i can drink tonight).

    okay i had a half of one cause i had to make sure they were good enough to give away LOLOL

    "Eat a little of everything you want in small amounts." Sorry - if I was capable of doing that I wouldn't have a health and weight issue in the first place!

    I hate in social situations when people tell me it's ok, you can eat it, you work out. And stop lifting, you look jacked.

    "Good for weight loss." This seems to be a new one recently, as in:

    Is food xyz good for weight loss?

    What exercises are good for weight loss?

    People asking questions, given great advice and then the OP doing exactly the opposite of all the great advice they've been given.

    Also, when youtube fitness vloggers peddle stuff from *kitten* companies and all the 18-25 year olds are like OMG if it works for them it has to work for me....quick fixes yes that's it people wanting quick fixes in anything in life annoy me.

    My boyfriend's nagging. He'll suggest what I should do to lose weight (it's stuff I already know, too! (like stopping boredom eating)) but when I suggest he take his own advice he says it's too hard.

    I guess if I had a pet peeve, it would be people making lists of pet peeves. I prefer to stay positive.

    Using #TBT to fat shame themselves. I have had a couple of people do this recently. Neither are yet ready or committed to lose weight so stop making yourself feel even worse about it!

    The Arbonne pusher on my FB who, despite commenting on a couple of very good articles I posted about detoxes not being a thing, continues to push detoxes and cleanses as a thing. They also believe all sorts of other woo that makes me want to throat punch them regularly. I really should just delete them............

    But generally, people have been awesome and I've even spurred some people into action and got some very nice messages. I'm sure that'll wear off at some point so I'll take it for now.

    Conversation with every single person who asks me how I'm able to stay in shape,
    Person: omg I would do anything to look like you. How did you do it?
    Me: oh I log and count calories.
    Person: never mind that's too much
    Or
    Person: oh I tried that it didn't work for me.
    Then the conversation ends.

    Not my biggest pet peeve but an odd one lately: When a poster asks for help and many people take time to post good advice (without jabs), and then the poster comes back and thanks ONE of them. WTH? :s

    My pet peeve about MFP is, for some reason, the people here who give advice to others, saying what they are doing is not sustainable.

    Everything I have read says, over 80% of the people who lose weight (no matter how they lost it), gain it all back (some gain even more than they lost). Very few people keep it off for over 5 years.

    So my question for the experts is, just what is sustainable?

    Fat is good for you....it's an essential macronutrient unlike carbohydrates. Of course keeps your fruits and veggies, but fats is essential to optimal hormone function, vitamin absorption...etc. doesn't mean you have to eat sausage , French fries, and heavy cream, but avocados, nut butters, eggs, olive oil...etc.
