Ever been told by a friend that you will never be THAT skinn

It happened to me a lot when I first lost weight. It didn't make me angry cause I think it was just such a shock seeing me wearing a size 4 after decades of being a size 22-24. I just looked so different to them. People said things like " you shouldn't lose any more weight". I am not TOO thin. I am actually 5-10 pounds over my ideal weight for my 5'1" height. But It has been fun walking up to people I have not seen for a couple of years and watching them trying to figure out who I am. :happy:

The first person that tells me I look too skinny...or that I may blow away....I may kiss them right in the mouth! lol. I'm just staring my journey...so I'm sure it will be a looong time before this happens to me :bigsmile:

LOL!

my "friend" is a size 8/10 uk and is forever going on about how fat she is and that she has no waist and needs to lose weight. im a size 14 uk and she has the nerve to tell me after her complaining that i dont need to lose weight id be too skinny if i lost weight and that id look gaunt!! well excuse me if you think youre fat what the hell am i?! a bloody hippo! and to say i shouldnt lose weight well its just a kick in the teeth!! i almost feel like she doesnt want me losing weight because then she wouldnt be the skinny one!! grrrrrr does my nut in!!

You will find that most people that aren't aware of fitness/nutrition have no idea wtf they are talking about. So their comments are as valuable as a dump you took this morning.

Also since most of America is overweight, you have an entire segment of the population thinking being unhealthy is normal. Stupid

I decided that I'm just not going to tell anyone about my intentions in terms of eating right and working out. People know I do it, but they don't need to know every detail or everytime I lose 2 more pounds. It opens the door for negative comments. Screw them and their jealously, it's not worth it.

Right. Sometimes if you talk about your diet, you invite unwanted comments. I tend to shut up about it too unless someone asks. Results speak plenty for me w/o speaking. :blushing:

I've been told that I'll always be a "big dude" or that I'll never get rid of my gut. but I'm going to do it anyways, and ya I have friends that get messed with because they say they are too small. but when you see them at the pool it's obvious that they are toned, not skinny

I hear that mess all the time. "Once you get rid of 5 or 6 more lbs. of that belly then you're going to stop right?" Um, no.... 5 or 6 more lbs. and I'll still be OBESE. I mean jeeeeeeeeeeeeez. Ok, so maybe I carry my weight well. Perhaps I look tons better than I used to, but I honestly, seriously and most determinedededly will lost 150+ lbs. Even at that, I won't be considered a 'healthy' weight range. I weigh a whole whole lot more than people realize and they want me to stop too. Not - gunna- do -it!

Drink your water people lol

I've been told by my always thinner sister that I don't need to lose anymore weight, and I'd look better if I actually put on 5 more pounds. She always tells me that I'm too skinny now, always cracking comments about how I don't eat, or about the way that I eat. I feel as though I can never exercise when I'm around her or eat the way I want, because she tells me to stop being ridiculous and anorexic. I'm hardly anorexic. I eat way more than her--my foods are just healthier and my diet is more balanced, and I work out more so I can eat a lot more. I do seem to have a body type where I'll always have a bit of a tummy or extra around the midsection, but hey, at least I know I tried and that I'm living a healthy lifestyle. If that's where my body says I need to be, I'm not going to force it otherwise to get some ideal look.

i had a friends who use to say i did not need to lose 30 more pounds i went from 250 to 170 and 140 was goal which was at the top of my weight range for healthy bmi. come to find out she ended up being the friend to tell me later she hated going out with me because she was not getting hit on by any guys other then ones who were hitting on both of us (just wanted in anyone's pants lol) then proceeded to say you get hit on by the creeps too but the good guys who want to be your bf as well. i was shocked seeing as i was the fat friend before so it was pure jealousy. plus the fact it was a big change for her plus i had tons of confidence ... She got over it fast and learned it was her own insecurities but still pissed me off at the time lol but she is still a friend and she actually is totally diff now and helps instead of feeling sorry for herself lol

then other people would say u look fine the way u r dont starve yourself when i wasnt i liked my salads when i went out lol and i was still 30 pounds over weight so made no sense to me lol
