    "people who count calories are stupid, just eat healthy" - the person knows full well that I count calories.

    "counting calories doesn't work" :mad: :explode:

    Having not lost any weight this week (but not gained either), this is what one of my, so called F/book 'friends' posted to me

    "looking at the amount of calories you've been burning John, I'm really surprised . . . so . . . what were you stuffing your face with??? Lol."

    This is the 2nd snippy comment and, the reason she is now an ex F/book friend....

    I guess another thing about weight loss is that you get to see the big green monster a little more than you did before, and I'm not talking red sox games. ;)

    1. Your starting to look good, imagine the next 20 lbs. (This was kind of nice..but just the "you look good" part would have been fine. You know..incase I wasn't planning on losing 20 more. I am though lol.

    2. I ate really healthy all day and told my one Aunt I was going to a friends later to have pizza and watch movies. I got " You did so good all week and your gonna blow it" uh not really?

    3. Not having any support. I have a close friend who once told someone else how fat I was. When I was talking to her the other day and I mentioned I had lost 21 lbs and wanted to keep going. She didn't reply at all. OR say a single thing about it. Thanks chicky, Even my family members just say "oh" when I talk about it.

    4. My pap making a joke that the only way I'd lose weight is if he tied a donut to the back of his quad and drove it around the yard. what the f? Now that I am exercising and eating right...he makes sounds when eating tastey junk food to try and make me jealous.

    There was this guy I liked, I gave him a rose on Valentines day (FIRST time I ever made a move) You know what he did the rest of that year? Laugh at me with the girls in our class, get his friend to tell me I'm fat, And tell every he doesn't like me BECAUSE I'm fat.

    Also, whenever I talk about getting healthier or doing something like that, my "bestfriend" says "You won't do it, you never do, just get used to it.. you're fat!"

    Yup :) THOSE are my reasons for getting healthy, skinny, fit. I want them to eat their words :)

    I never gave this a thought. All the other comments have been really positive. As the person who said it has weight issues, she could be a little miffed that I have lost some weight.

    Thanks for that, x

    After losing 20lbs I got an "mmm yeah... I guess you've lost SOME weight"

    And before I started to lose an "it's a good job you're beautiful" One of those back handed comments! Basically you're fat but pretty... at least I still had something going for me at the time! LOL :)

    "ya know your daughters are watching your every move don't you? if you don't eat pork and a variety of other meats, then they won't want to either". whatever. eating is a PERSONAL thing. yes, my girls pay attention to my habits (and likes/dislikes) but they have their own minds and preferences as well.

    (Note, the "new glasses" were several months old; the weight loss was new.)

    My grandmother (who is not a nice lady) once told me that if I didn't thin up then my husband would leave me. BTW, My husband has loved me during ALL my sizes! He would never be shallow enough to leave me because of the weight I am!

    She is not very thin herself!

    "The first 7 pounds are easy...good luck losing anymore"--my former therapist (she also said some other rude things too). Long story short, I am now seeing a new (and much better) therapist.

    the worst thing that's been said to me was actually meant as a joke (I think) but I did not find it funny--one of my coworkers made a joke about me being anorexic. Definitely NOT anorexic-I know she was just jokingly pointing out that she thought I had lost all the weight I needed to, but I did not find it funny.

    this same thing happened to me. i was NOT amused, although as it was someone i had to be polite to i think i dry-chuckled and changed the subject.

    I saw my dad after I'd lost 50 lbs. He said "I guess you look a little smaller, but you got a long way to go". Gee, thanks for the support :(

    I'm a high school librarian. We have a teacher who makes amazingly good cupcakes, and always shares them with staff. She sent one my way on Friday and my Student Assistant (I have one every class period) begged me to give her my cupcake. Knowing how good they are, and having had a very light breakfast, I wasn't about to give it up.

    Her response?

    "You're just gonna get fat again. If you eat that cupcake you're gonna blow everything and balloon right back up to where you were."

    My mom says I will be a chunky monkey if I keep eating the way I am. When I saw my ex from high school he grabbed my stomache and said "wow what happened to you?"

    OMG What a ****!! You should have said " I can lose my weight you will always be a stupid fool"

    (Note, the "new glasses" were several months old; the weight loss was new.)

    I remember getting the "did you done something different with your hair?" a lot at the beginning.
    Yeah i took about 20 pounds off of the thing underneath it.

    I hate eating in front of my grandmother because she always gives me a look and says "You're going to eat that."

    My grandma does the opposite. "Mija, have another quesadilla. I made you two more."

    I recently gained my weight and even more recently recently started getting back in shape and before I had finally decided I had what it took to get back in the fitness game my father-in-law liked to say things like "you know, you could lose weight if you start running." Really?!? No **** Sherlock, thanks for continuing to point out all the weight I have gained as if I don't already feel embarrassed about it. Oh, and BTW, I am well aware of HOW to lose weight so, ummm, thanks.

    I have a friend that has continued to tell me that if i lose anymore weight, it wont be flattering on my body. Ill look funny! and then my mom when we go out to eat or something and i have in my mind what im going to order she will say *cant you cheat just a little?* i DO have days I indulge in something but not ALL the time as she would suggest i do every time we are eating out or at my aunts house. What else....... oh and like some of the other posts, when i do have pizza or fried chicken the family member with the comments *i thought you were on a diet*. Lifestyle changes and diets are 2 different things.... sigh.. what else. Sometimes while visiting my papa in the nursing home for alzheimers patients, they will have pies or cakes for anyone to have and if Im with my mom visiting, and they offer me a slice of cake and i decline, my mom thinks she needs to tell them that im on this strict diet. Its not a strict diet... id rather have a snack thats going to fuel my body and not convert to sugar after being swallowed. Ill probably think of more later on tonight.

    One of my (incredibly thin) friends said to me last week... "I think you're losing weight too fast. You're not crash dieting are you?"

    Um... no. It's taken me two months to lose 10 pounds, so it's not too fast, and I did it by eating right and sweating more. :laugh:

    I think you would look good in a size 13. - this is from my mom. Size 13? I'm over a hundred pounds over weight and that is only 2 sizes down from where I am now! It really doesnt make me angry I just couldn't come up with something. I try really hard to not get myself in situations like that.

    Oh a few years ago when I was 5 months pregnant this 4 or 5 year old say, "Momma that girl has a really big bottom!" Is it ok to punch little girls in the face! Lol!

    2.) Well you're young. Its much easier for you.

    Actually I am not "that" young. That may give me a slightly larger edge than you, but you are only 5-10 years older than me. And thanks for acknowledging that all of the *kitten* busting I've done for the past 7 months has been easy! ;)

    What are yours?

    That one irks me, too. I spent all my teens and 20s feeling like a little kid because I'm the youngest of 6. One would think by my late thirties, almost 40, I could get a little bit of respect, but instead I've gotten comments like, "Let's see you keep eating like you do (I eat a lot, because I burn a lot) and look that way when you're 60." :laugh:

    When showing off in my new dress all my mum said was "make sure you don't leave the house without tights. Your legs still need some work"

    OUCH!

    I just hate hearing people tell me what I can and cannot eat. I got this all the time before as a vegetarian but it is worse now that I've been using MFP. It isn't that I CAN'T eat the cookies you brought in to work or CAN'T eat a burger, its that I choose not to. Nit picky perhaps but it makes me crazy. "Well, if you can't have this and this and this, what CAN you have?" Ugh. What ever I F-ing fancy, that is what. :)

    Also, 3 of my co-workers and I use MFP and support each other. I had gained 3lbs and was a little upset about it because I had been working so hard and was talking to one of the girls about it when a different co-worker started asking me about all my new habits. He was like "you're not eating candy bars are you?" and I said no, and then this 90lb teenager who works with me said "YES YOU DID, YOU ATE 2 PIECES YESTERDAY!!". And I had forgotten that I had 2 dark chocolate mini Dove chocolates which amounted to all of 80 calories. And then the first co worker said "Well that is why you're gaining weight you can't be eating chocolate". UGH. So ignorant. Yeah, 80 calories of dark chocolate was the cause of the 3lb weight fluctuation which was probably muscle since I've been running more regularly. Whatever.
