Ever since I have been on here I am having more success and I am happy about it. I just thinks its funny that people who know what I am doing tend to give me advice about what I am doing, when I already know what I am doing. Or people who say this is wrong, thats wrong, but they sit there and do it themselves anyway. I just want to say "shut up!!!" My bf mother is the worst. She drinks liter n liters of pepsi, and tells me pop is bad? Um and what do you think your doing? Or she had a cookout, and I took a small scoop of pasta salad she will ask "Tera, you know how much calories are in there?" Know I am just really stupid and I am losing weight by luck. lol I told her, I workout to earn my food. She just looks at me. I feel like venting about this, it has been bothering me for awhile. Tell me about some of your know it alls? Oh n I havent drank pop in like 6 months. I drnk coffee, water, n my mio, n the occasional sweet tea, but I earn it damn it. lol

    I know plenty of "know it all's." When I get unsolicited, unwelcome advice I simply smile and say "Bless your heart."

    Then walk away.

    Ha!! I love this response! I have had a lot of "advice" and I take most of it with a grain of salt since I have done extensive research on my own in a lot of different places and just do what makes me happy!!

    Just prove with results that what you are doing is the right way for you and they might shut up.

    Omg my sister is really bad. I go to the gym for an hour 5-6 times a week and she tells me I am wasting so much time. She says all you need to do is walk on the treadmill for 20 minutes a day and you will be fine. She is still trying to lose the same 30 pounds since 3 years ago and eats SO unhealthy. I have another friend who for the past 4 or 5 years tells me all these new ways to lose weight, like diet pills, supplements, clothes that make you sweat more ect. This girl looks the same as she did 4 years ago and keeps persisting me to try these new things. I am happy with my weight, I am just trying to tone up now! My other friend tells me that I am wasting time eating healthy. She says as long as you go to the gym, you can eat whatever you want. This girl eats EVERYTHING and has been overweight for as long as I have known her (6 years). Ughhh these people will never learn

    It doesn't really bother me. Sometimes the information is right, it's just not relevant to me due to my specific diet and there's no way someone else would know that. I'll usually just smile and nod or chuckle (not in a mean way). If it's a friend or family member (that I think knows what they're talking about), I may question them on it so I can get more information because they may be right.

    I'll admit it yes, I am the know it all! I try not to preach but when anyone shows the slightest interest I cannot be stopped unless you put tape over my mouth lol. I tell people to let me know when it's too much and to just tell me to shut up. I'm not a jerk about it though...I hope. :) I did cut back a lot and started my blog so if anyone was interested they could just go there instead of me yappin at em. I just want people to be healthy so I do it because I care but yeah I don't wanna be annoying so I try to contain it.
