Overweight people putting me down

Haters gonna hate! I get told the same thing all the time @ work. My doctor even once asked me if I was anoxeric and he proceeded to ask me if I threw up after I ate. He kept questioning me. ****ing *kitten*!

I was in the hospital last month for pancreatitis that was induced by dehydration (I was not drinking enough water and I run a lot of miles) my doctor asked me if I took diet pills! Omg can't people see that you can be thin by being healthy without taking diet pills or throwing up!

Seeing you watch your weight probably just makes people reflect on their own bodies. They're insecure and probably feel like they have to justify eating that cheeseburger while you are eating a salad. Even though you aren't telling them to eat differently, they probably feel like you eating a salad is a statement. I'd just smile and offer to share your healthy lunch.

If you are already smaller than them, and you are losing weight/getting fit they can no longer maintain the illusion they are normal and healthy.

But you can't be responsible for other peoples delusions. Just do your thing. Keep Calm, Carry On.

It's pure jealousy. I used to be one of those women.
Keep on truckin!

Just smile and realize that you're going to be healthier, fitter, and probably look way better than them for the rest of your life if you maintain it. Let it roll off your back girl.

Stop caring. The whole world doesn't revolve around you. This has NOTHING to do with YOU and EVERYTHING to do with THEM. Get over it and let them sit in their own misery.

Just keep this though in mind when they talk down to you, "today I will do what you won't, so tomorrow I can do what you can't"

I couldn't find my size in a department store, and the saleslady came up and asked if she could help. I explained my problem. Her nasty response? "Perhaps you need to shop in the little girl department." And then she walked off.

Wow, how cruel! I was talking with a co-worker the other day who was once overweight. She was telling me how people treat her so differently now that she's lost weight. Reminded me of the movie "Fat Like Me", a true story about a popular thin high school girl who pretended to be fat for a documentary contest. Very sad.

They may not be putting you down on purpose. I probably would have said you are beautiful the way you are, but every person has an image that they think is the right size, every single one of them is different. ME, I think your size is perfect and that is what I would love to be, someone else may think you are too skinny, YOU may want to be smaller. But as long as you are HEALTHY then that is all that matters. No one has a right to judge you if you are healthy. Being a big girl myself I know that my sense of size is off a little and when I see someone that I think is skinny trying to lose weight, I think of eating disorders, and most of the girls around her are way too small, when your elbows are not in proportion to the rest of your arm and you constantly shake then that is not healthy. But you look healthy, you look beautiful, and the only person that has a say in your image is you as long as you are healthy, as long as your doctor gives you the okay then trim away.

if a overweight person ever try's to put me down.. and talk trash about why i am calculating everything. I usually just say because i don't want to look like you.

its mean.. but they should mind their own business. i don't go around judging other peoples daily life..

Love this one!! Awesome!!!

Does anyone else get the "You're being good today" comment? I get that from one lady at work when she sees what I am eating for lunch. Meanwhile, she says "I'm gonna be bad today" as she gets grease loaded french fries and hotdog. BUT she wants to go on WW?!?!!?! Why? Cause she is very overweight.

I can't stand when people judge what I eat as I try to be healthier while they gulp down my daily calorie intake in one meal!

Ugh. jerks. You reminding them of all the times they've tried and failed is such rubbish; you're proof that it can be done!

Haters!

They are jealous that you are actually able to make the change in your life and stick with it x

I used to get the same, and I am no stick figure but now I get those that doubted me at the beginning ask me how I have done it and any tips - they are then telling their friends and so on.... Now I have 10 plus people joined me on here.

Ok unpopular opinion alert..

I think being on this site gives posters a false view on the majority atitude towards diet & Fitness out in the real world.

Most people never think about their health until they get sick or get an injury, most pople are contented with their lives/bodies/food choices untill it starts to cause them problems. As the focus of this website is fitness & diet it is correct to assume that everyone here is looking to make a change to their previous food & fitness choices & as such we are pretty much all in agreement that 1) eating better or in healthier portion sizes is the way forward 2) getting some kind of increased physical activity will improve not only our healthy but our overall general appearance.

What alot of posters on this & other fitness/diet sites forget is that not everyone gives a crap about having muscle tone, thigh gaps or wherever else it might be we (general) are trying to achieve so any difference to what they consider normal food or normal weight & activity concerns or confuses them.

This idea that they are "all" jealous is wrong imo, some people just thnk that if you look ok, are generally in good health & happy then why you would want to change yourself.

It is lack of understanding of your goals rather than jealousy.

Explain your goals or your reasons for the changes & try to do it in a way that is non judgmental of their choices. Their concern & comments however insensitive might actually be genuine interest or concern for your wellbeing, most people have no idea what a healthy lifestyle or what a healthy goal weight is.

Remember, this is YOUR choice, not everyone has to agree with you or support you.

My Mother-in-law has given me the same rubbish! I've lost 21.4kg in total so far and she keeps making snide comments to other people (while she knows that I can hear) when the congratulate me on my loss. Some of the comments so far have been "Yeah, look at the skinny B***ch", "If she loses too much more, she'll get sick all of the time and have nothing to fight it with", "what do you need to exercise again for?" blah, blah, blah...
I know it's a jealousy thing because she keeps telling me that she wants to lose weight, but still eats fast food everyday :huh:
I just ignore her. I'm not going to let her derail my attempts to get fit and healthy just because she can't be bothered and neither should you. Just smile and let it spur you on
