How do you deal?


Quote  |  Reply

Im so glad Im back *sigh* feels like I've been away for forever! 

Getting back on the horse again, and someone made a comment about my weight the other day that really stuck with me, even though I wish it didnt!

How do you deal, when people make comments to you - that arent helpful? People who have the opposite problem, just dont understand, honestly. 

I try to grin and bear it, and smile through it - even though what they're saying is completely insensetive.Undecided

How do you deal with negativity on your journey? Yell

I did the "grin and bear it" thing but it would still bug me for the rest of the day. So instead, I usually just say that I'm underweight and I'm actually trying to gain weight. When people hear what I have to say and understand that it's the same struggle being on the underweight side, they usually change their tone. Most people just don't understand, much like how we would never understand what's it like being overweight and trying to lose. Personally, I feel better responding this way and I find that these people even come back later on and ask how I am doing and end up being pretty encouraging.

Hope this helps, and best of luck! Laughing

when ppl that dont get y im so skinny make comments 'bout my weight i get po'd ... and just tellin me things like go eat a few big macs..

food is my life cos' i've got cystic fibrosis i dont gain weight anyways but no one gets it.. meh i say whatever or just tell em' try livin my life no one could hack it.

I say if it's someone important in your life or someone you see daily, you need to let them know their comment is insensitive and unecessary. People don't always know their comments are hurtful, ignorance is bliss. If it's just some A-hole on the street screw who cares what they think, not me.

I get the same crap as yours. Because I get pressure with these mean people,  I challenge myself to eat more than it used to be and stick to my gym,(without masculine looks).

Mostly, I can tolerate them, but if not  I come home little upset.
