Just need to vent.....

I hope you don't mind. Lately I've been getting these "don't lose any more weight" comments (Not that I'm planning to) and the women who made these comments are very overweight. I am NOT underweight and have worked very hard to get from a size 12 to a size 2 in an 8 month time period and I'm only 4'11 so I would think that this is a good size for me now. Believe me, If i thought for one minute that I looked as "Amaciated" as these people are trying to make me think I am, then I eat! Anyway, I'm getting sick of trying to explain too people like this that nearly a year ago, when I was almost 50 pounds heavier and my sugar was so high and my hands and feet were so swollen that it was a serious health threat that my family doctor advised me to lose the weight and start eating right so I wouldn't have the same kind of trouble 20 years down the road that my father had. 2 years before my father passed away , he had to have both of his feet amputated. And people like these women can't understand why I've made this decision to take care of myself for the rest of my life. It just throws me off when people like this make these kind of comments to me without knowing what I have been through and I shouldn't have to explain myself to them. What's funny to me however, is that they will also say "You're looking really good girl" in the same sentance. Go figure.

Do not let them get to you! You are doing the right thing. Some women/men can be so mean and jealous at the same time.

You just keep doing what you are doing and maybe the heavy men/women will fallow your lead.

CONGRATS !!!!!

Totally agree!!
I lost 70lbs and my mother in law drives me mad saying Im too thin!!

You musn't get any thinner is another favourite at work. F*ck em all and be what you want to be. When I can see my abs then I will be happy.

My partner even came out with "you need a brazilian bum surgery". It took me 4 months but I proved him wrong. Now its "you'll never be able to get rid of that bit (meaning my pouch, I have had 3 kids too), Well I will show them all I can. With a little help from YES and the rest of the UFRK.

Next time someone makes a comment like that just smile and think how fantastic it is that you can make these people jealous.

Again, thank you. this support means the world to me. My in-laws are obese and act the same way towards me and my mother in law stares me up and down. Talk about feeling uncomfortable. Maybe I should treat myself to a sexy nighty hehe

i heard some of the same comments when i lost a bunch of weight. just enjoy your size 2 and ignore the comments. saw a similar thread a couple of weeks ago and one person had a great response to the, "you look anorexic" comment. he said something like, "i just don't like it when my stomach hangs over my pants".

Maybe I should treat myself to a sexy nighty hehe

Yep, I think you should, something that makes you fell utterly delicious and totally HOT!!!

Now for a 4'11" person a size 2 is not unreasonable. You get these 5'9" and up women (speaking for myself) and people expecting US to be single digits and that just makes me totally nuts ...

It's your body, don't let catty b*tches bother you, especially not in-laws (who are the worst, trust me, no matter what, you stole away their baby boy you'll always have to walk through the fire).

Regarding the fat broads at work, next time you get a "you're getting too thin," comment, I'd look the lady in question right square in the eye and point blank, ask her, "do you really think that's an appropriate discussion for the workplace?" That might shut her right down. If she answers in the affirmative oh goody, because now the gloves can come off and you just adopt a terribly concerned facial expression while you say, "I have to say I've really been concerned for your health since it looks like you've been gaining weight and I was worried you might be developing an overeating disorder."

I hate b*tchy fat chicks.

I hate b*tchy fat chicks.

Amen to that!!

I get the "are you sure your not becoming anorexic?" comments all the time from certain friends and people I work with. F**k 'em all! I eat every 3 hours, so somehow I don't think that's possible.

I've gotten to the point where I tell them what I've eaten that day, why I ate what I did when and how it helps fuel my lifting in the gym. By the time I get to my second meal their eyes glaze over and they stop listening altogether. After a few days, they have now stopped making any comments.

It's so sad when people are so insecure about themselves that they have to try to bring other people down and make them feel bad. Those people are the kind I have no sympathy for, so none of my energy is directed at being mad at them - they're just a waste of my time and energy as far as I'm concerned.

Keep going girl!

The "I hate it when my stomach hangs over my pants" is a great comeback! Oh God! I hate fat obnoxious(and most of them are sadly) people like this girl and my sister in law and mother in law. I eat every 2 to 3 hours also. Some people(especially that type) just don't get it. I'm going to need to learn to become more of a Bi%^& when it comes to this BS being thrown at me just to put them in thier place cuase obviously some one needs to. The girl that made that comment to me the other day isn't a co-worker just someone who lives nearby and I met her online. She just got a job at Old Navy in my mall. I will be avoiding that place from now on LOL
