    My favorite..... "But you have such a pretty face".

    This. Yes this! It was usually followed by: "All you need to do is lose a little weight in your tummy..."

    “Are they dead?”

    After I’d got someone out of a car crash. Call the bloody ambulance, don’t make stupid f**king comments!

    Excellent point. I hadn’t thought of it that way before.

    Oh! "You're big boned, you're supposed to weigh more than that. You look ill"

    Said to me at 160lbs

    For the record 145-150 is about right for me.. I did NOT look ill at 160.

    If you were more social you'd probably lose weight faster

    People messaging me & trying to sell me it works...literally someone said "I see you are a working mom so you probably don't have much time to work on yourself...." & then proceeded to try to sell me its works products. I feel insulted lmao

    Don't drink wine or beer...hell no

    You need to drink 12 glasses a water a day to lose weight...uhh

    Been doing this for awhile and a newbie at this tells me to "weigh my food"
    Uhm..
    Or "I cant give up food like you have I love food too much."
    I didn't give up food I just stopped stuffing my face!

    "If you eat early enough you can eat what you want and you won't gain weight. This is how we ate when I was growing up, and we weren't fat."

    Stated by my mother-in-law as we sat down to dinner of Tacos, Flautas, and much more food. She questioned why I was measuring my food and writing it down.

    Because it wasn't early enough!
