"Don't Get Too Skinny"

I only get these comments from my Mom (who weighs like 100lbs), she also tells me to not lift to many weights our I'll start to look manly :laugh:

My boyfriend would prefer it if I stayed at my current weight...and never lost another pound! He'll try to grab my belly and see that he can't grip anything anymore and get all pissy lol. He gives me the "don't get too skinny and hot because you'll leave me stranded for some buff dude with a 6pack" speech...I assume he's joking but God knows :laugh:

...Glad it's not just mine. smh He said just yesterday when I said I had 32 more lbs to go that 140 will make my head look too big for my body -_-:indifferent:

I get that a lot and I just tell them - I am not where I want to be, but I will be sure to send a memo to you when I get there.

Lol I love this!! :laugh:

Honestly I know it makes your all mad to hear that, and I know it will me when it happens, but I REALLY want it to happen!! :drinker: LOL Guess I gotta start losing the weight first huh...

It's not exactly a "don't get too skinny" comment, but a conversation I had with my sister (she's my roommate) yesterday left me pretty flabbergasted. It was her turn to do the dishes, and she was mad that I'd used a few more bowls and pans than usual that night. She told me that no matter how far I had come, I was still fat and I was always going to be fat, and to just give up and stop making life hard for my roommates for something I was never going to accomplish.

:noway: This is a family member saying this to me!

Misery loves company, I guess. I was just shocked that she'd go that far over having to do a few extra dishes. Guess it's time to move! :laugh:

My husband I lived with my older sister and it was the worst couple months so I stayed with my parents til my husband found us a place and he found one in a month. She never said anything about my weight but she basically called me lazy til I went to stay with my parents. We get a long great now and have fun when we hang out because we don't have to live together.

Yes all the time. Just yesterday my mum and her partner had a big rant at me saying I was going back to my ED ways. They can't seem ti tell the difference between that and healthy weight loss -_- I got told i had no butt and my boobs never came back after my ED so they won't now, and my mum keeps saying 'gain weight and they will come back' as if it matters. I say I've accepted that about me and she frowns and repeats the same thing.

It actually really hurt my feelings as I'm self conscious already about my body, and just as i'm beginning to accept these parts of me I get these comments

Yes, people are afraid when they see people successful at achieving their weight goals! It's intimidating.

Same thing has happened to me. I have been on maintenance for over 4 months at 5'2" and ~110. My sister told me this morning I needed to gain ten pounds and I'd look better. I feel great at this weight. I have lost inches and toned up in the last 4 months due to doing Insanity and recently starting to lift. My body likes this weight and I enjoy this weight and body size and feel the best I have in years both physcially and emotionally.

I had a conversation with a friend I hadn't seen in a while that went something like this: "Wow, you look great! Seriously though... You're done right? Cuz you're good... Don't lose anymore." Really?

I've gotten this, too. From someone super, duper skinny. A little annoying, but I know she means well.

My father in law made the same comment to me when he heard how much I want to lose. Just let it go in one ear and out the other! What is most important is that you feel good about yourself! Keep it up!

I don't know how to post on this thing. My other comment was a "Quote" from someone else. Oops

I get the same thing. If you look at my profile my slogan next to my picture is "Healthy Habits". People tend to think that just because someone looks to be in great shape already that they should just sit in the couch and eat chips and not have a care in the world. Well, at 32 years old I can tell you that the weight goes on quicker, it takes longer to get it off, and if you want to be healthy you should have a target weight and tone to reach and maintain and keep healthy habits up. I think some of the poeple just don't want you to end up looking better than them. AND, it makes them feel guilty because you're doing something to be healthy and get in shape when maybe they're not. I would do what you said, don't give those people your goal numbers anymore. Just tell them you're trying to be healthy, and when they watch you change, becoming healthier and more fit, then they may be inspired to follow your lead and ask you for tips.

Be Well.

I think those people mean it as a compliment. It's more of a jokey persons compliment lol.
I usually just laugh and say oh that won't happen.
=]

Been getting those comments a lot lately. I am no where near being "too skinny" lol. Even my son's father keeps saying he's worried about me. I weigh 163 lbs. The high range of a normal bmi for me is 140 lbs so I think I'm safe lol. Ugh people can be annoying.

I also think they make these comments because people just don't know what a healthy weight person looks like. So many people are overweight, even if it's 15 lbs over, that overweight looks normal.
