    "You're obsessed!" Yes, I am. And you're not, that's why you're on a downward slide but that's none of my business. In my opinion you NEED to be obsessed to get results, no matter what it is you're talking about.

    Lol not much of an ego

    "Do you want any of this (insert sugary food here). No? Are you sure? Really?" No, if I wanted it, I'd go get it, I know where it is.
    "Oh, are you supposed to eat (insert sugary food here)." Yes, if I want it, I can eat it, I know moderation.

    The sabotaging comments are what really bug me. I don't believe there's malicious intent, just people trying to make themselves feel better.

    What is everyone sick of hearing since they started MFP or their diets? I have a few...


    You don't want to get too thin...
    Having a healthy BMI is not too thin

    Men like a little meat to play with...
    Sorry, I'm no ones play thing...plus I'm married!

    Ditto to these plus....
    Why are you still running? You're skinny enough. That's not why I run.

    Or when other runners ask me why I lift heavy. I don't, not really, I deadlift because it helps strength my core and lower back - muscles that help with running.

    Must be nice to be so small. Being short is not something I can do anything about, but being fit is something I work on every single day with the choices I make.

    Do you eat? Yes, I probably eat more than half the people who ask me this stupid question but I don't look it because it's called moderation and hardwork.

    "You haven't given up any foods since you started losing weight? Not one?" No, man, I have managed to lose weight and keep it off while still eating all the things you think are "bad."

    Most of my friends don't say much to me any more because I'm pretty upfront about my lifestyle and they know it by now. I did have a friend who was shocked this summer because I didn't want any kale from her dad's garden. Sorry, just because I'm fit doesn't mean I live on kale (or even like it).

    I also had an acquaintance try to sell me Visalus shakes after I posted a transformation pic of myself on Facebook. Like, really? I got here without the help of your BS shakes, I obviously don't need to waste my money on it now.

    It's uncomfortable when people say it to me, but worse hearing it happen to others.

    Was with a friend the other day who's lost 40 lbs. She's still in the healthy BMI range. However, some people at the gym came up and basically told her she looked like she was wasting away and starving herself in a laughing, backhanded kind of way that was supposed to sound like a compliment. She was tactful and explained herself to them (far better than I would have done), but damn, that was uncomfortable to listen to....

    I understand. I've had to learn to be accountable to myself, but it wasn't easy and the need for someone to hold you accountable can sometimes be felt when you feel out of control.

    "It's a special day. Might as well make it a cheat day"

    "Just have one and walk it off later."

    Ugh. Kindly *kitten* off, please.

    "You don't want to become too muscular. Women are supposed to have some cushion!"

    "Your thighs are huge." Thanks, I couldn't tell when I try to pull my pants up over them :/

    "Girl, why did you eat only the hot dogs I served you and not the beans?"
    The hot dogs and beans are both good, thanks, but the two hot dogs themselves with their buns are 500+ calories altogether. That's about how much I can eat for dinner tonight. The beans can be eaten tomorrow. :( sorry
    "Girl, why did you only eat half of this huge pancake I made and soaked with syrup?"
    :/ I'm trying to be careful of what I eat. Of course I don't say it aloud. I feel shy about my weight loss efforts and tracking my food. I really don't like talking about it, but feel as if food is often being pushed on me by my fam.
