What's your weight loss pet pieve?

I have a couple

1. My roommate LOST weight by not thinking about calories and only eating when she was hungry. She would eat until she's full, and just stop. And this would account to like, 1200 calories. She's like, 5'5" and 108 right now. She went abroad last spring to Spain and she was 115 then.. she said that was when she would constantly thing about weight. It pisses me off how losing weight can come natural for her!

2. When eating a SMALL piece of cheesecake takes an hour of vigorous running on the elliptical to redeem myself.

3. When losing water weight isn't actually fat.

ha ha. skinny girls eating muffins totally made me laugh because it's so true!

People who put bacon on everything, giving me diet advice. "Do you really need to eat that yogurt? Isn't yogurt high in sugar?" I'm eating the d@mn yogurt. I might even crunch up a graham cracker on top of it. How many calories were in those three huge bacon cheeseburgers that you ate by yourself?!

People who lost weight by taking yellow jackets and not eating, giving me diet advice. "I take four of these a day and stay up all night cleaning the house till five in the morning. I don't even remember to eat until the kids tell me they're hungry, and then I can only manage a bite or two before I feel sick. Sometimes I open the door to take the trash out and just take off running down the street. Look, I'm wearing my second-grader's jeans!" Nice. I'm glad that you lost thirty pounds in two days, but your hair is kind of falling out.

People who find out I'm on a diet and literally wave food in front of my face. I don't know if they expect me to try to rip their arms off for it or start crying or what. Honestly, the presence of the food doesn't even bother me. The sheer rudeness of the person waving the food, however, makes me want to shove that pizza in them sideways where it ain't supposed to go.

Paula Deen.

1) Vanity sizing

2) That even our cartoons are becoming fat.

MELEBA!!

The skinny girls eating muffins!! funny cause it's true but that pisses me off too! but now im at the point where if I see a big girl eating a muffin I get mad, I just feel like "if I can do it ANYBODY can do it!" I mean I was the greedest, laziest person in my office, I would join anybodys potluck EVEN WHEN IT WASN'T MY OWN UNIT'S POTLUCK!!! thats what I was about, I never exercised or did anything. And now that im on this lifestyle change i've lost 27lbs in 4 months! 

The annoying prick of a secretary who tells me I am fine where I am (5 or so lbs over a healthy BMI) and that I look healthy here. As if I won't be at a healthy weight. And as if she ever has been. But she has a way of masking criticism in a compliment. Her only real skill.

A few people who have told me to not 'go anorexic' That has never been my problem, and it is possible to do this thing right.

The fact that normal is no longer normal

My friend that I was working out with that dropped out and will probably complain when I see her cause she outweighs me now. If she had stayed with me, she would be a perfectly healthy weight so I don't wanna hear it. People decide that they want to 'live their lives', (aka shove down pop tarts and bacon) and then act sour when you are successful. pfft.

Plateaus :) I've hit my first one. Looks like I might be on the end of it though. Finally.

Removed - offended someone.

ETA: thought the lady was talking about me. Whew.

Cello,  I am not sure if your post was in reply to my post, but I wasn't talking about you.  I was talking about a woman at my gym who is really obnoxious, and has alienated her friends (me included) by constantly mentioning how her clothes don't fit, how she's worried about losing too much weight, etc. 

I am so sorry if you thought I was talking about you.  I don't have a picture up yet because I just joined today, but I will post one. 

Again, I am really sorry.

Well I sincerely apologize then. you said the person above you and I got a little hot, specially since I hate my job right now and everything sets me off.

Welcome new member

Extends hand....lets start over again.

Yes...I dislike those people too.

Extends hand back......

I removed my post so no one else thinks I was talking about them.  Just goes to show, Mom was right...."if you can't say something nice......."

So, my other pet peeve is a 2-hour workout that puts me on the brink of madness can be undone by one item from Dairy Queen.  I HATE that!

That is exactly why so many people in the gym stay the same size forever. That was my problem for a minute. I know a lot of people that reward themselves for working out with junk food. Tempting, but you get nowhere fast. Sigh.

One More: How your weight fluctuates daily, and jumps up 1.4 lbs or so the day before a weigh in when you have worked out and eaten perfectly! Any other day is OK....just not weigh in day

The menopausal wench I work with who, when I quit smoking, made a comment like "Oh, you don't look like you've gained any weight after quitting."

Umm... I lost 37lbs after quitting. Thanks.

My sister who'll raid my fridge and pantry and complain that there's nothing "good" to eat after I spent 1/2 the day meticulously planning, weighing, logging and cooking a bunch of different stuff for the week and have the audacity to ask why I'm still on this "health kick". Who over-salts everything that goes into her mouth yet drinks diet coke by the gallon because she needs to watch her sugar.. (i guess high blood pressure is better than diabetes, right?) Who wonders why I won't come over for dinner anymore because everything she cooks comes with a side of Crisco...

I think my sister in general just irritates me

Yes, it took me a long time to stop the "I worked out so hard I can eat whatever" train.  I could weep at the unfairness of it. 

Another one:  How I allow my scale to detemine whether I love or hate myself that day.  I know there are so many factors that the scale doesn't consider, but I still feel beautiful and slender when it shows a loss, and disgusting and buffalo-like when it doesn't.

 This made me giggle. =)

My pet peeve:

Anyone (skinny or overweight) who looks down on other people who work out. Like, "Pfft, what a waste of time". What I do with my time is MY business. I especially hate the skinny people who snub exercise and are like "I don't work out and look at me!"

I hate that I have to turn down sweets my wonderful co-workers want to give me. One time a girl tried to give me a pound of milk chocolate! I felt so bad saying no. I've managed to work around some of these offers by smiling, saying thank you and taking a small bite. Then when no one's looking I'll throw it away and quickly take out the trash. >.>

I love this thread!!  I agree with everything here. When I was at my lowest weight (not anymore, but working on it...) I hated:

-Family saying, "You look so skinny!  How much weight have you lost!?"  I felt like everyone made such a big deal about my weight loss that I was actually ashamed of it.   I so wish I knew then what I do now.

-The guilt trip people put on you for not eating food they cooks for you or brings you when you never really asked for it to begin with.

-The way people make you feel stupid for not eating as much as them.  HATE IT!!! 

Ok, I'm done now lol!

• People who think they know how to eat well, but don't
• My best friend who doesn't eat all day bc she's "not hungry", but after going out she orders everything from McDonald's
• People with excuses! This is the most annoying. "I don't have time to workout", "If I weighed my food, that would make me give up"(Totally lazy attitude), "I don't have to workout because I parked my car far when I went shopping"
• People who tell others there weight-loss secret is eating 600 cals a day
• People who eat "salads" covered in cheese, bacon, mayo and salt
• people who say they are gaining muscle (now that I know the truth it drives me nuts! lol)
• Above all, people who complain about their lack of weight-loss when they do the above or don't push themselves
• diet soda...yuck (sorry! I know a lot of you love it...I think it's still unhealthy and not worth the lack of calories. I'd rather drink black coffee).

3) People who walk by my desk and ask, "what the hell are you eating?!?" 

Like they haven't seen a damn salad before.

1)  Working out  4-5 days a week, but during the week of my period can weigh up      to 5 lbs more!?  WTH?  It makes me feel like I don't lose any weight that week, and then spend the following week taking the weight off

2).  When my husband who knows I am trying to lose weight, says "lets go get ice cream", or "lets go eat Thai food"- because I love them both, but they love to stick on my thighs more :(

People who tell me that I don't need to lose anymore because I look so skinny already. I'm 6 FEET TALL. Of course I carry my weight well. Stop trying to think whether or not I look skinny.

Conversely, my well meaning grandma who once told me(after I spent a summer on 1800 calories and 10 hrs of exercise a week) that I looked "pleasantly plump", and "well rounded out" for my height. Excuse me, I know you don't really want to hurt me, but I gained something like 10 lbs, wanted to lose it, tried really hard, and it came off as I got plumper. -_-;

Friends who don't eat because they're not hungry, but stay skinny when they are hungry and also manage to eat a double double with fries. -.- Oh, and they don't exercise hardly AT ALL. Minus more points if we're together at lunch, and I'm picking at my brown rice, chicken and radish, while they're holding the burger. x.x

_Food pushers.   If I don't want to eat, don't make me!!

Meh, that's my main one, I am sure I will think of more
