    I see my mom only a few times a year. I walked into her house and she said in her caring Mom voice "you've put on some weight, is everything ok?"

    i felt like i was 8 years old.

    'wow, you've lost a lot of weight... was it intentional?'

    I have gotten this one, I generally chalk it up to them not wanting to compliment my weight loss if I've been sick or something. My grocer said that the other day then followed up with "ok, good, we like intentional weight loss....just wanted to make sure you didn't get sick or something." It's not exactly how I'd like the compliment delivered but I just trusted he meant it well

    I developed this 'speech': 'it's ok, I did it on purpose and I'm not trying to lose any more.'

    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."

    I think when its the battle of ownership over a very very good cupcake normal rules don't apply. She obviously thought the gloves were off on this one! :)

    From my husband "don't take this the wrong way, but you're just not very attractive anymore ". He thought it would encourage me to lose weight. He was wrong.

    Wow. Just wow. I am pretty stupid when it comes to knowing what to say to my wife, but even I know better than this one!

    The guy that owns the gym keeps trying to get me to do their "medical weight loss".

    "You know if you started with the HCG and our diet program you could lose some REAL weight."


    I guess 100+ pounds the right way is just a waste of time.

    "You have lost a TON of weight!" (Actually, I NEVER weighed over 2000 lbs.)

    Or - "Did you have surgery?"

    I think people, generally, are too nosy and expect detailed answers when its really none of their business.

    "You're doing this the healthy way, right?"
    Although I can kind of understand this question (my older sister battles weight issues by just cycling binging and anorexia), everyone I know has heard me talking about running.


    "Oh, I went through a exercise phase when I was your age too, but it never lasts."

    A coworker asked, "Are you still trying to lose weight? You looked healthier before you lost weight".

    Not only did I not look healthier, my doctor would say that I'm much healthier now than before!!!

    How disrespectful , I would never dare to ask any thing like that from the people of my college ( or when I was in high school)or or talk to them that way.

    I hope you told the student how inappropriate the behavior was.

    "Here, I bought these green tea pills for my daughter, but you need them more." Said to me by a now ex-best friend's mother the first night I slept over. I was 13. Her daughter was indeed thinner than me, but I was 5'2" and she was 5'9".

    "Finally." Family friend just two days ago when we stopped by the restaurant where she works to say hi and was told I was trying to watch what I ate when she asked why we wouldn't stay for lunch.

    Meeting my ex's mum after my weight loss and her saying 'You should of done this a long time ago'. As if her son cheating on me was my weight to blame despite being nothing but nice to him and his family for five years. She also thought me passing university with first class honors (his son got 2:2) and passing driving test first time (his son passed 2nd go) was down to 'good luck'. Seriously -_-

    "She knows how many calories are in it because she counts every thing that she eats. She's obsessed" -No, I like to know what I'm eating. I do like to log everything but I will eat some things that I don't log! Your just jealous.

    When I met my second husband's mother for the first time, she looked me up and down and said,
    "You're fat!".

    Can I just say Wow!! You are doing awesome! :happy:

    ... and maybe time to find another gym? (Or at least threaten?) Really ... you're paying him for the use of the facility, if he's gonna be rude like that, fire him!

    years ago, my husband and i went to his sister's house where lots of family were gathered.
    we were newly married and i had put on a few extra pounds. I probably weighed 150 (at 5'7" and 19 yrs old).

    my brother-in-law says to me... "have you lost weight?"
    i say no, with a smile.
    he says "didn't think so!"
    i was crushed. the room went silent. my husband didnt even have a comeback in my defense.
    BUT, it did make me count calories and exercise ~ lost 30 lbs.

    kept it off. 2 yrs. later i got pregnant (very happy)
    told my mother in law and her first remark was "and you just lost all that weight."
    what?
    i decided i was too sensitive. they always were teasing me about my weight.
    I am glad they can't see me now @ 198 lbs. :cry: !!!

    I am astonished. That is rude!

    "Hmm. Well I can see it didn't for you , lady!" I really don't understand people that think they can just say anything they want to people.

    My least favorite was from my grandma: "You're not fat now. But if you keep eating like that you will be."
    To this day (20 years later) I still have body issues from that and similar comments from her.
    (She also would tell me "well, you're not what I would call beautiful, but you're pretty" ... gee, thanks...)

    You don't need to lose any more weight, your thin enough/too thin now. I am barely in the healthy range for my height and I want to lose 10-15 more lbs but sooooo many people think its just vanity lbs now.

    OMG!!! Me too! I hear that exact same thing!

    Oh I have a few with my responses

    A co-worker said I was a chronic dieter! No honey I am living a healthy life and am no longer diabetic. You might want to get moving yourself.

    Are you sure you should be eating that? I am allowed to eat a cookie every now and then!

    Are you taking diet pills? Sorry eating healthier and exercising.

    Well how much do you weigh? None of your business.

    Also someone else mentioned it when peole can obiviously see you have lost weight but will not acknowlege it. I have no problem celebrating other's victories. Guess you'll always have haters! lol

    Someone told me that since I was post 40, that I better not lose weight too fast because I'll look all wrinkled and saggy.

    :(
