I lost 7 pounds

I lost 7 pounds

which is not a lot of weight. But I did gain muscle so it probably looks like I lost more than the scale reads.

And at my shower I had SO many people come up and comment about my weightloss. But not in a nice way, in a rude are you anorexic way.

I have been eating PLENTY but I've been working out. I felt like telling them it's amazing what the body can look like if you get off your butt once in a while.

And like I'm the first bride in the history of the world to lose a few pounds before the wedding!!

Re: I lost 7 pounds

people s uck like that. About 4 years ago I had lost about 20 lbs. the first few pounds people were all complimentary.....

those compliments quickly turned into judgements and people telling me I was obsessed and should get help and to stop loosing..... Umm ok I went to WW and the Gym I wasn't throwing my food up.

It is so frustrating. Good for you and your weight loss! It is something to be very proud of dont let people get you down

People are idiots!! I have always heard 'anorexic' comments and I think they are just so horrible! No one is ever going to think it's acceptable to go up to someone and say 'What have you been eating? I hate to say it but Wow your *** is huge' but it's fine to say 'Have you been eating? You look anorexic' Just ignore the ignorance!

Re: I lost 7 pounds

i think some people are just jealous that they never looked as good and can't commit to a diet or exercise, so they don't know how to say nice things to those who can.
screw them! you have to be happy with what you see in the mirror!

Get used to it. It happens. When I lost my weight, my FATHER told me I was starting to look anorexic. It's just because he wasn't used to seeing me this way. 3 1/2 years later, I think he thinks I look normal now

Omg I got that too because FH lost 12 pounds (mind you he started at 242 so it's not like he was skinny!) I got looks and comments about whether I'm feeding him also. Trust me, he's far from starving!

Thanks everyone. I feel great and am TRYING not to listen to the comments!

ITA!!!!

my FMIL at first kept complimenting me non stop on my weight loss, now each time she sees me she gets all panicky saying that I lost way too much and I have to stop (I dont know what she is talking about as I am the exact same weight since losing all the extra pounds)

other ppl then feel the need to tell me what a good thing I did losing all the weight as I was so fat
gee tnx my loved ones!

great job on losing the weight - just make urself happy and screw what ppl have to say

Re: I lost 7 pounds

Ignore them. When I was in H.S I used to have a complex because people told me I look anorexic, which of course I wasn't. I used to run home after school everyday, buy 3 slices of pizza, eat nothing but junk food, and drink weight gainer. By the time I got into my twenties, I finally gained weight and people would grab my belly and tell me I could stand to lose a few lbs.

So now I say F' them! They're all haters whom think they're helping but are only putting you down when you're trying to make yourself happy. Now I'm losing a few lbs. and I don't give a crap if they tell me I look anorexic again. As long as I know that I'm not, that's all that matters.

I'm happy for you - ppl are never satisfied, but as long as you are happy, that's all that matters.

Re: I lost 7 pounds

I know a few people said this already and I told agree with them- people always have something to say.

I'm been fat and now I'm skinny. And people had something to say when I was fat. Now, they think I starve myself. Either way, the comments hurt.

I dont think people realize that calling someone too skinny isn't a compliment- its criticizing their body.

The only thing you can do, hard as it is, is just ignore it. What do they know?
