edited October 1 in Health and Weight Loss
Ppl are telling me that I have lost a lot of weight. Truth be told, I have not hit the 20lb mark just yet. I know my body has changed but not to my satisfaction. (i hvnt dropped a pants size, yet). My baby sitter's mother asked her if I was on something....I did not know whether to laugh at the comment or be pissed! Once I hung up the phone, i realized that I was more than pissed. This is exactly how rumors get started........SN: Always asking me what I am doing to lose weight and when I tell you, you ASSUME otherwise........PISSED!!!!!:mad:

    You may not notice the difference but other people will notice it. I saw the difference in my clothing. They were becoming loser on me.

    I've had people ask me if I'm sick or on drugs because I've lost weight. What the hell? Is it a crime and automatically an indication of something "wrong" for people to lose weight and get healthy?

    Lord. People need a life. Plain and simple.

    :hugs:

    I would be offended up p.o'ed too!

    I'd say "I'm working my butt off and am offended that you would accuse me of being "on" something!"

    Good luck.
    God bless!

    I'm sorry! Honest I giggled to myself a little bit when I read this.

    Some people just don't believe you can have the discipline to do it all on your own. Let them think whatever they want. It doesn't dictate who you are and it sure doesn't negate all the hard work you put into it! Even losing 5 or 10 lbs does make a difference. My friends all see it in my face. Maybe you don't feel like it's coming off fast enough but the best way to keep it off is slow and steady.

    Just do you and don't worry about everyone else!

    Gotta love some people!!!! If changing my life to a healthier one is a drug, then I am hooked!!!!!!! I tell people to check out MFP, it's my saving grace alongwith exercise, healthy food choices, and determination to make a change for my life!

    People are *kitten*! Sounds to me like she is a little jealous and bitter that you have the motivation to change your lifestyle and your body for the better. If it makes you feel any better some lady asked me yesterday when my baby is due :explode:

    Stay true to yourself. The haters always try to find something wrong with others because they aren't strong enough to improve their own lives.

    Welcome to the club. It is sad that the people you think would support and celebrate you doing something to better your life would turn so nasty. Been there, seen it, got the shirt...and I'm better because of it! Stick with it, you are doing great!

    I get asked daily if i am "well". I tell everyone I am fine but they look at me like there actually is something wrong. I just try to ignore them now when they make the comments. I didn't know losing weight and getting healthy would have everyone wondering. Hang in there. There will always be someone with something to say :)

    I expect people to be like that. Someone like that always assumes you are losing the 'easy' way, as in drugs or illness, instead of working hard.

    Don't let it get you down.

    People are dumb.

    Don't let others get you so worked up. Sometimes people just lack tack or maybe they can't drop weight themselves so they figure others can't.

    Just respond what you are doing and let them know that you do not like what they are implying if needed.

    Congratulation on the changes you are making!! Good for you!! As far as rude and insensitive people, I am sorry that happened to you. They are just lazy and can't fathom your progress was all due to hard work. Keep doing what you are doing, it is paying off, and tell them that you obviously care about your body, because you are eating healthy and exercising, and if they need tips to get started just let you know!! :)

    Congrats on your weight loss. It's great that people can already see a difference! Keep up the good work.

    As for their assumptions, just smile and tell them diet and exercise is all it takes. It's their loss they don't understand there is no magic pill. Dedication and hard work do pay off.

    I know what you mean. people have said "you've lost a ton of weight." how rude ! I had lost maybe 16 pounds at that point. certainly not a "TON" I'm down 25 pounds now and am finally going to a smaller jean size. People have asked me if I'm on any drug. I'm simply committed to losing weight and working hard at it. no drugs-no purging. jeez.. I've had people argue with me about how much weight I've actually lost. one girl said, NO WAY you've lost AT LEAST 30-35 pounds. It makes me angry. I have a scale that I step on at least 5 times a day (bad habit-I know) I know how much friggin' weight I've lost !

    The "you've lost a TON" gets me too. I finally responded to someone by saying that I actually never weighed a whole ton. They'll probably find a better way to make that compliment in the future. I expect that those asking about drugs are not necessarily critical, they just want some.

    This is the deal..... it's called IGNORANCE! People don't realize that it's possible to lose weight without starving yourself or taking some pill. It's like a huge shock for people to hear the words "exercise" and "healthy eating." Then when you finally lose the weight in a healthy way you get criticized for losing too much. Girl just stay focused and do YOU! Keep your eyes on the prize!! Best of luck to you! :)

    I get told that too.. and because I'm taller, and the weight has more places to go, I look thinner then I really am.
    My trainer even asked me once um, are you eating? and I was like uh yea... I eat like a freaking healthy pig dude! I can't control what my body does...

    Let the haters hate and when you look fantastic and they still look crappy, then they'll be quiet.
