Stupid things people say when they hear you're dieting

This doesn't mean you have to stop eating my cooking! (If it has a stick of butter in it, it does!)

I bought you some double fudge brownies!

You seriously think you can do that?

What, my (insert X0,000 calorie food) doesn't fit in with your little diet?

You HAVE to eat this. It's not fair to YOU if you don't eat this.

    "Oooooo, we got a health nut over here!"

    "But you're not fat, just a lil curvy."

    "Oh, do you not want my food anymore?" Sorry, Grammy. I can't eat your buttery fatty casseroles anymore, mmkay?

    "I'm sick of your healthy cooking, I want something that tastes good!" Once again, sorry Grammy. XD

    "what? seriously, order something other than salad, I don't want to be eating real food alone!" <-- salad is food. for ****s sake.
    "Oh, I forgot, you're on a diet." <-- in public. I'm not on a diet. i just decided that I don't want a heart attack + diabetees at age 50.
    "You weight train? Oh, I don't do that because then I'll have to stick to it. Besides, I don't want to get bulky!" <-- try ONCE nad then talk.
    "Look, it's fat free! It must be healthy." <--- while pointing at a hydrogenated mutant colorful "edible" product at the supermarket
    "eat this. I will get sad if you don;t/ I spent so long preparing it." <--- you spent so long melting 3 tubs of butter and sugar in a pan.

    From my (in shape) husband via email: My coworker's kid is selling cookie dough - do we want any?
    Me: *I* don't want any, but I know you and the kids would like it...it's up to you, assuming you're paying for it.

    End result: He ordered SIX TUBS OF COOKIE DOUGH.

    "But men like women with curves!"

    "Are you doing this for a man?"

    No, no I'm not. My boyfriend is very supportive of me at any size. I'm trying to get healthy, not skinny. There's a difference people!

    Don't get rid of your too big clothes, I'm sure you'll need them again (Thanks for the vote of confidence Mom)

    Why bother, you'll gain it all back plus some. Dieting doesn't work. (It's called a lifestyle change actually)

    Your grandma made all your favorites, her feelings are going to be hurt if you don't have some (Of each apparently... 3 kinds of pie, homemade donuts and chocolate cake)

    I don't know what you're talking about, chicken is a diet food (not when it's deep fried chicken wings floating in honey garlic)

    "Well you go on with that, I'll carry on eating real food" ....and when they say 'real' they mean Burgers and Fries from one of the local burger joints.

    Salad can be delicious with the right ingredients. I usually order either a salad or fish when I'm out, not much else anymore. :P

    You mean enriched, bleached and hydrogenated food aren't good for you? Nawwwww. Get outta town. XD

    LOL I love that last one... yeah, cheese is great protein too but when it's smothering something and covered in sauce - guess what! Not good anymore!

    ^Yes! And I should add that I started at 230, and was hearing that by the time I hit 215!! Down to 200 now and everyone is telling me to stop. Uh, no. I am still overweight. Even if I lose another 30 lbs (my goal) I still won't be at a "healthy weight" for my height.

    "You're not fat, you're pleasantly plump." - Being fat is nowhere NEAR being pleasant. I can't fit clothes and I can't jump up and down without feeling like a herd of elephants.

    "You weigh that much? You must be solid because you surely don't look it." - I THINK it may have been a compliment? But it's such a tease. :(

    "Your not fat."
    "You don't need to exercise"

    I'm 5'0 and 250lbs at my heaviest always have been doesn't mean I'm happy that way doesn't mean it's healthy.

    Hubby asks: "What's wrong"

    Seriously dude, I'm hungry, I'd love to rip that damn white chocolate dipped vanilla ice cream pop right outta your hands, instead, I get to nibble on 1/4 cup of unsweetned, organic granola for a snack.

    "You're counting calories? Be careful you don't become anorexic!"

    Sigh, just because my step sister was in high school, doesn't mean I will. And counting calories helps you know where you are, sheesh.

    "You're becoming obsessive!"

    Um, just wanted to know how much of this Uncle Ben's microwave rice I'm going to serve myself... hence checking the calories.
