"You're Getting Too Skinny!!!!" Sarcastic Comments

I started my weight loss journey in May 2006 and have since lost 55 lbs. Now when I was 210lbs, my co-workers seemed to have no problem with my weight. If I ever stated that I wanted to lose weight, they'd say things like "Na, you're ok" or "You're fine just the way you are."

Well, after I started my journey and lost the weight, the reactions I'm constantly getting are very sarcastic. I don't think they are complimenting me or even encouraging me. All I seem to hear is ....."Oh, my you are getting too skinny" or "you better stop losing all that weight" or "You better eat something." (BTW I'm 5'6" so I'm not at an unhealthy BMI or even close it, just normal for the first time in my life!!!!!)

Seriously, I lost weight the weight in a healthy and reasonable manner (1 1/2 yrs). It seriously upsets me that these idiotic comments keep coming. Yet when I was considered clinically obese, they were quite content with size.

If you guys have experienced similar dumb people, tell me your experiences. I'm ignoring them, yet its an uncomfortable feeling that people are watching my every move as if its a sin to want to improve myself and get healthier.

I think our ideas about what is normal weight have gotten so skewed. We now consider a healthy weight anorexic or too skinny. Is this crazy or what?

when people see other peoples' success stories they start to re-evaluate their own health issues, making them seem negative.  don't let it bring you down though, at the end of the day you're improving your health & thats nobody's business but your own!  people will always talk!

i went to visit family in puerto rico over the summer and the first thing everybody said was that im too skinny and i need to start eating more rice & beans!  so i dont think it matters what size you are, people will always find something to pick at!  keep going though, it's all for you!
