Stupid things people say when they hear you're dieting
Replies

me: eating all of my food
someone else: "You should not eat all of that if you are on a diet"
me: "I'm not gonna just waste this food"
now i've fixed it...
me: packing up food for later
someone else: "What are you doing? Aren't you going to throw that away if you're on a diet?"
me: "I'm giving it to my dog"0 -
OMG! Yes!!!!
Or the same thing about being a vegetarian!!!!not sure if its stupid, but it was frustrating to hear:
"you'd think the weight would be just dropping off with all this running you're doing"0 -
If you're dieting you need to drink lots of Guinness to build you up.
Oyyyy.0 -
You're so little! Why are you eating all this healthy food? Here, have this chocolate muffin, we need to fatten you up.
What am I, some sort of livestock waiting to be butchered? No, I WANT TO BE HEALTHY. -__-0 -
Stupid Question: "Have you lost weight?"
My answer: "Well, I mave have I am trying"
Stupid comment: " I can see it in your face that you've lost weight"
My Response: "Thank you, but that is not where I was really tying to lose the 5 pounds that came off":huh:0 -
My mom: here have some of this chocolate candy, me: I don't want any, I am trying to lose weight. My Mom: why? Me: cause my big butt needs too!!0

Huh I guess I'm either lucky or really really look like I need to lose weight, because people never really say that I'm getting too skinny (then again I don't live in the US and like 70% of women here are skinnier than me by about 40 pounds)
Normally I get stupidly incorrect information, like oh, you should/shouldn't eat x, it's good/bad for you.
Thanks, but I've lost these first 40 pounds because I know what I'm doing.0 -
That's.... appalling. Is he supportive in other ways? Because this seems subversive:(0
-
Oh this one killed me... my boyfriend's coworker said this to me because I only wanted half a cookie instead of a whole cookie...
"Why are you dieting? You're not that fat."
THAT fat... I'm just now starting to see myself as "not fat" and then I get smacked with "not THAT fat"0 -
Dude my mother in law just sent me an email saying we're having tacos0
-
"You need to live a little...one meal isn't going to kill you"
What I want to say:
"I drink beer, wine and eat steaks, fries, etc throughout my week. This particular meal isn't worth splurging on to me so I'm taking it easy."0 -
"It's good what you're doing now, but we're big people. You're gonna look like your mother when you get older."
My mom is obese with diabetes and is trying to do better. And your body doesn't just pull fat out of the air because the rest of your family is overweight. -.- Thanks dad, from both of us.

How about "how can you afford that eating healthy is so expensive I cant do it"
because a heart attack is a lot more expensive.0 -
not sure if its stupid, but it was frustrating to hear:
"you'd think the weight would be just dropping off with all this running you're doing"
^ uh huh totally this...i don't talk about the running much b/c then people give you the once over and wonder:
'why isn't she stringy like a runner?'
'how fast are you?'
i just like running. yes, i'm slow. why do people have a problem with that?
It's hard to explain that I like to do something that I'm not particularly good at. :laugh:0 -
- You don't need to diet! OR You're dieting? Why?
- You can just have one (cookie, ice cream, piece of friend chicken, etc. bite/item), can't you?
- I hate dieting/ I can never diet/ I'd hate to be you.
- Oh, God! Guess that means you're going to be policing everything I eat now!0 -
"Better be careful." I hate this line.. I mean, seriously... how can I be careless in losing fat when it comes to my health. It's offending to me because I did my research for eating healthy and exercise, and even planned it all out nicely! No excess of dieting or starving, and no excess or little exercises.
I get this all the time from hubby when I'm exercising more then a few days in a row or I tell him I'm going to increase my workout time.
My kids will say "how much longer do we have to eat this crap" <---crap is baked chicken, fresh steamed veggies, homemade mashed potatoes (not instant)0 -
As I'm eating [insert delicious, "normal" food here}... "Doesn't that break your diet?"
No, I'm not on a diet. I'm living a healthier lifestyle, which leaves plenty of room for eating whatever I want. Just less frequently, in smaller portions, etc.0 -
What bugs me most is hanging out with my skinny friends and they say "well, you can have just one! omg just eat some, you just cant eat it everyday" or "omg it is okay to eat it today, you will be fine" but to me, since I usually hang out with them multiple times of the week, it is like okay hey now, if i ate everytime we hung out and you said to have just one, i wouldnt see any results! drives me nuts. Also it bugs me when you make plans with someone to work out with you and they ditch you over and over and then say "i love having a workout buddy! i am so glad i have been working out with you" i feel like saying "uh.... you have worked out with me 4 times out of the 30 times over the past 6 week period, what do you mean you like having a workout buddy? cuz i sure dont!"0

HAHAHAHAHA OK that was funny0 -
Oh another one...
snide comments from my dad and sometimes my mom anytime they sees me eating sweets or something unhealthy....
"how many calories does that have? 3000?"
"how much running is it going to take to burn that off?"
"oh did you quit your diet?"
What I want to say to them "You're ****ing obese (dad) and you got your body with lipo and a tummy tuck (mom), therefore both of your opinions are invalid!"0 -

fockse is making some awesome changes! her family just wants an excuse to not work their *kitten* off like she is.0 -
"It's about time. I was wondering how big your *kitten* would get this time before you finally decided to stop stuffing your face"
"I'm happy you've been losing some weight but you're not done yet, right? I mean you're still pretty big"
OK, those comments are just rude!!! And they actually think its helpful?? SMH! :grumble:0 -

youre allowed to put your parents in their place from time to time. some people need to know where boundaries are. its not disrespect. its setting boundaries.0 -
I'm glad I'm not the only one dealing with this and annoyed by it!!! :happy:
funny, this is what my daughter will say, and my mother-in-law said "so how many peices of pizza are u "allowed" to have""Should you really be eating that??"
"I don't need to eat like you, I don't need to lose weight!!" ... from the hubs and the kids..
everyone says "should u be eating that" its like yeah i should im accounting for it and its not your business, im the one keeping track of what i eat not you!0 -

OMG this made me gag what the hell people, that's sooo mean!! :mad:0 -
"Wouldn't it be easier just to have liposuction?"
No really, someone said this to me...
it would be "easier" but cost a zillon dollars more.. and doesnt teach you to do it right, you regain and have to do it again.. I think i may have slapped them0 -
"you don't need to get skinnier, look, you have hip bones!"
everyone has hip bones... you can just feel mine now. i'm still on the line between healthy and overweight.0 -
"Everytime I see you ......you look smaller and smaller - shaking the head with disgust" - DUH, is that not the point?........0

Everyone is a nutritionist, dietition, bariatric MD and a physical trainer once they find out you're dieting. But the advice is usally to tell you that what you are doing is wrong. :huh:0
-
This is meant to be supportive lol (we have a sick sense of humor in my family). I will fall off the wagon so to speak and binge on junk food and hubby will say "I'll miss you when you're gone" :noway: Seriously dude not helping but I love you for trying.0
