Deer Caught In Headlights

Does anyone else enjoy getting that deer caught in headlights look when someone asks what are you doing to lose the weight? Example conversation:

Person A “Yo man, what are you doing to lose the weight?”
Me “Well, I use this app that tracks my food intake and calories, I’m also working out maybe 4 or 5 days per week. Nothing crazy.”
Person A “Oh……????(inquisitive look)”

Yeah man, there’s no punch line. Move more, eat less, repeat. It’s almost as if people think that I am being arrogant or dismissive when they ask. Sorry, that’s all I do…..:bigsmile:

    That's not what they want to hear though! I speak from experience in the past..LOL I wanted to hear that they were taking some new magical pill! I'm sure that's what they were hoping for :-)

    Meh.
    I used to be one of those people, too.
    I'm betting most of us were at one time or another.

    Congratulations on your amazing success so far. :drinker:

    I've had this conversation so many times with the women in my office that I've just started looking at them like they are crazy and then I say . . . "I'm not losing weight but thanks!". It's not worth my time anymore.

    This reminds me of the story I was told at work a few weeks ago. So, this lady was walking across the parking lot and a guy saw her then told the security gaurd "Her headlights are on high beam!". The security gaurd, bein so precious, didn't know what that meant. So as the lady passed, the security gaurd tells the lady "Your headlights are on." The lady turned and gave her a dirty look and said "NO THEY AREN'T!!" the security gaurd said "Yes they are. The guy over there just told me that your high beams are on.".....the lady has been wearing a bra every day since.

    You're totally right. People almost look disappointed when I tell them that I'm just doing that crazy "diet and exercise thing." Everyone does want an easy fix...and they do exist, just not long term. Glad you and I are doing it the right way :) Keep up the awesome work. You're killing it, dude!!
