    Duh really? like I didn't notice that. I am sarcastic.

    Right??

    "Oh, thats why I suddenly needed a belt for my pants."

    On the "why do you keep exercising?" topic, I really hate the "what are you trying to do?" question. I feel like really smart people should not have to ask WHY I am losing weight, eating better, exercising more. If I were running or swimming or biking or some specific activity, I could see them wondering what my goal is for racing or competition or accomplishing something, but for me its a matter of finding stuff to keep me moving so that I keep losing. I am not running several days a week, I can't be mistaken for training for a 5k or something, but I keep getting the question.

    I feel like they're anticipating a particular answer. "Be a size 6" or "Lose 40lbs" but I really don't have a specific goal in mine, I am going for a "feeling" rather than a specific target.

    Literally my comeback would be, "Omg thank you!!!"

    Them - "You're losing too much weight."
    You - "Yes I am."

    Today I had a few and strong words with somebody that was and is constantly making comments about my weight. I told her to stop it, and that my weight is my problem and concern and not hers, and that I was tired of her comments ( I was very loud). End of discussion.

    I have been very diplomatic in the past but she keeps going on and on, and she thinks that is funny. Hopefully she got message this time.

    If somebody tells me I am losing too much weight,
    I am always dead sarcastic and dry, "WHAT!? NO STOP IT!!! Here I am running, trying to gain weight, FLIP SAKE. LOSING WEIGHT? WHAT IS THIS DEVILRY?"

    UR MOM'S LOSING TOO MUCH WEIGHT LULZ

    Seriously. No one ever says this to me. Ever. So I guess if it really bothers you, just move to Southern California and it will stop.

    My SIL hit goal weight and still runs an hour a day 6 days a week. People ask her why she keeps running. Her reply "I run cause I like to eat!"

    I'd reference Star Wars by blaming the garbage compactor, but I don't think anyone would get the joke. I'd probably just get some really weird looks.

    I would say "I am getting ready for the zombie apocolypse, man are you screwed"

    I had a co-worker that always complained about her high blood pressure and other ailments and actually admitted she wanted to lose weight. So, when she told me that I was losing too much weight and that I was starting to look old :frown: , I replied (yes it's mean) "I'm still losing weight because I don't want to be another statistic of Type II Diabetes and be dependent on BP medication." She gave me the dirtiest look ever and didn't speak to me for a couple of days, but I think I got my point across. :tongue:
