Good morning all! I hope everyone has had a great weekend. So... I'm gonna have a mini rant here. Starting with a question to you; Does anyone else get sick of the "You've lost so much weight" * insert look of shock horror* or "it's enough now" "don't lose any more weight, you'll be skin and bones" etc? Hello!!! I'm still overweight.. Sure I'm not "obese" anymore but I am overweight. And then on top of that I'm apparently starving myself because I do intermittent fasting and count calories. Firstly even if I wasn't doing IF I'd still be eating about the same amount of calories spread out throughout the day. Now I just consume my calories within a certain window of time. Explaining the science of fasting doesn't even seem to make a difference. They understand for a moment and then after a while will say things supposedly in passing like "oh no I can't starve myself". I'm like who's starving? And then they backpedal and say" oh I didn't mean you". Then who did you mean? It's obvious you're trying to drop hints. I mean I get that as family or close friends they've always known me to be overweight so it's strange but come on! . Only 3 of 8 have showed support and excitement for me. For the other 5 it's either those comments or to not say much but their silence is also speaking. If they're truly honest with themselves they'd come to realize that if I was just a work colleague or friend they'd probably have been talking about how big I am. Why can't she do something about her weight... It's not healthy etc. Another thing is people act like they saw me 2 months ago and now I'm a stick. As I've said before, my heightest weight was 115kg which I'd carried for a few years. If I lost 5kg it wasn't noticable cause I was so big anyway, but now every other kg makes a difference. It's taken almost exactly 4 years to lose 30+kg. This didn't happen overnight so let's not act like I starved myself for 2 months and lost it all. Well you can't win 'em all I guess. All I know is I'm doing it for myself and my health. If they can't get behind that its not my problem. It's theirs. Honestly I'm not even shocked. I've watched enough YouTube videos to know it was bound to happen but that doesn't make it any easier to bear. It just gets frustrating having to defend my weight loss or actions. Ok. I'm done now 😂

Receiving criticism means you know you are doing something right! 👍

Jealousy makes you nasty remember that. They can't improve themselves so they find fault. You are not starving by counting calories as long as you are within your BMI you are OK.

@IpelengSerobatse I know!! How annoying and disrespectful. I had someone say "you've lost so much weight. Have you been sick?" This is someone who knows about my weight loss efforts and would know if I was sick, let alone sick enough to lose weight.

@TritonX 😁 In this instance i'd have to agree. At the end of the day I did my research and I'm following through. So that's that.

@Size 10 Piglet Exactly. Thank you! Jealousy does make people nasty. My calories are just fine. What mostly annoys me is the fact that particularly the one person is going on about me starving myself. And yet when a member of our family was diagnosed with diabetes and eventually directed by his doctor to do keto and IF/OMAD nobody told him he was starving himself. He's off insulin now by the way. So IF has got nothing to do with starving if you maintain, as you said, the correct calorie count... and it has a host of other health benefits.

I avoid going into details about my eating plan for this reason. When people ask me how I've lost weight...I just say I'm eating healthier and exercising. I'm on a high fat, low carb diet. For years people have been taught to be anti-fat, and that will take a long time to change.

@Secret Slimmer I hear that. Best to keep details to a minimum. As for LCHF it's a really good way to eat in my opinion. And yes people don't get it. It's been ingrained into people's minds that carbs give us energy and fats are bad and will block your arteries, make you fat etc. (of course we know there are good fats and bad) At times people are so indoctrinated into a mindset that their brains actually won't even allow them to consider another point of view. It's like your whole life has been a lie 😂
