Isn't annoying how people "judge" you based on your diet?

Got the same issue with my mother. I'm 42 and still can't get any support from her on anything. When I told her I lost 14 lbs....she just started talking about herself as if I didn't say anything. Gee Thanks Mom.

Ok, i just read the first post, so its probably already mentioned, but he must have seen that you have lost 9 kg?

I posted this on my wall about a week back, i feel like it's relates to your situation perfectly.

"I don't care what you say, there's nothing cooler than being excited about your weight loss and nutrition and talking about it with someone who is equally motivated and interested. You can't talk to everyone about your weight loss; I feel like they are secretly judging, want you to fail or are afraid if you change they'll have to change. I told one of my close friend I changed my eating habits to drop a few pounds, he told me when he wants to loss weight he'll just crash diet, Aloud I laughed and said whatever works for you, (Inside I called him an idiot) It's people like that remind me of why I’m staying focused. The guys at work who come in eating chicken biscuits and laugh at my yogurt. I'm hell bent on dropping the weight and looking damn good. It's not even about the weight really; it's about the determination, the perseverance and the will to go to the threshold and beyond. Things that use to upset me don't faze me anymore because my fitness plan makes me more independent and strong. My pals on this site make me so happy. I'm so proud of ALL of you and your commitment, we're going to reach our goals and feel effing amazing. Keep up the good work ladies and gents. KENNY OUT! "

If you ever want a pal on this site who will motivate and support you 100 drop me an add. I'm 17lbs down and discouraging people like that only add fire to the flame! And we are on fire. Keep up the good work

i had a friend who wanted me to go eat chinese w her and she usually pays cuz i'm broke. anyway she told me if i was gonna count my calories she wasn't gonna pay because it would be a waste of money. that was shock to me coming from someone who barely eats a thing at all....i was hurt... and as of now she has not spoke to me in about 2 months and took me off her facebook friends list

Now that is a bizarre over-reaction!

yeah that what i thought to. but now i'm like if she gonna act like that than she was never really a true friend....so whatever loll


Maybe she just jealous of you success and probably is one of those friends that always want to look the best out of all their friends so they secretly try to feed u so you can go back to your old ways.

I am amazed at how many unsupportive loved ones there are out there. It is not so important why they are unsupportive as how their lack of support effects you and your goals. With this said, you should renforce yourself with the things necessary to achieve your objectives. Their loss, your gain. Life can be a bitter pill sometimes particularly when it concerns people you love but you have to swallow it and move on. Don't waste your efforts on the whys...put them into what works best for you.

Stark....the change in you is awesome....way to go guy!!!

First thing, measuring and portioning lost me 45 lbs and counting so never be discouraged. Calorie counting ( to me anyway) is not tedious and even when I am only maintaining I keep a general count in my head and it yields results so keep on keepin on.

I think as long as your diet is balanced and people who are around you during meal times can see it, they are less likely to say anything. MY favorite is when people claim to eat healthy or cook "healthy" meals for me and they are some of the most unhealthy things ever lol I usually chuckle to myself and eat smaller portions, but I think a lot of people are ignorant to what actual healthy eating is.

Definitely take his BF. Loads of people think they're in great shape, but they're soft all over.

Apparently, my dad thinks I'm being too much. He laughs of on how much I measure my food and says that's its useless. He makes me look like a stupid person by believing or counting my calories and exercising cause he said that he never does these things and he's still so healthy! O cmon anyone who would see him would know he isn't. I'm just really pissed on how unmotivating people can be and how people can laugh at the effort you are doing to try to be healthy. I MEAN SERIOUSLY! They like making me feel wrong and stupid. Well HA-HA. it's not working. The madness i feel right now is going to be poured in one good exercise. But still. It isn't right how other people react. I'm sorry guys, MFP people are only the ones who can understand me.

Sorry for the long rant, have a nice day everyone

So sorry to hear your story!! Just ignore him, and keep it to yourself.
I try my hardest not to tell anyone what i do, but when they find out, they are all like "oh, dont feed me that rabbit crap food" OR "you're paranoid, cut it out."
people don't even invite me out to eat, because they think I can't, and they think i will impose my belief's on them....but i dont, unless they ask, and they always ask! i hate that! then they mad at me, but

they asked, and i only gave facts.
ppppsssshhhhh! Whatever! lol

Don't be hurt.. it sounds like she's threatened because you won't keep being the fat friend. Keep doing what you're doing!

ha ha i didn't think of it that way. lol thanx

That's the cool thing about MFP, for the handful of naysayers that will put you down; you got a millions of us lifting you up.

My friends always roll their eyes and comment when I log calories or read the label on a package or something. It is so annoying...

Every. Single. Day.

And Suzanne you went to lunch with a friend and found out about this site!

It was but doesn't really bother me anymore. Of course, I never say so, but generally my critics are NOT people I necessarily want to look like. So, I don't give their comments a second thought!
