Cannot figure out SOME people. Chime in and tell me if y'all have ran into this...
(Actual statements made by friends and acquaintances over the last 3 months)
"You had the surgery, don't lie!" - guy actually wanted me to pull up my shirt... in public (and he didn't even buy me dinner first - LOL!)
"That can't be ALL you're doing." - failed dieter, during a potluck (should've seen what she was eating while talking to me)
"Oh, I could never starve myself like that." - said a lady (at work) who thought she couldn't survive on ONLY 1600-1800 calories
"Are you in a competition?" - body-builder who was telling me how he could get me in shape (totally unsolicited by the way, lunk)

Sadly, all of the above have been mentioned with the "that can't be ALL your doing" being the top one. Typically they then ask me which WL drug my Dr has me on...

Have you received the "are you sure you're not sick? You should get checked out, it could be serious" I had a elderly lady who hasn't seen me in years say that, I took it as a compliment, I guess she meant well LOL.

Every person who hasnt seen me in a long time asked “when did you have the surgery? You look great!” It’s bittersweet. I acknowledge the compliment but gastric has become the new way for people to lose weight and that’s not how I did it.

1600-1800 calories a day is not starving yourself. I'm on like 1366 and there are days that I am under and I feel like I eat a good bit of food. It's a matter of being conscious of what you put in your body and spacing it out by planning. At the start, the app told me based off of my height, weight and age to go 2100, but I thought just for kicks, let's lower to see if I could maintain that, turns out, I can. People need to realize that if they want to take their nutrition and health seriously, they will do just what you are doing. No tricks, no magic pill, etc. It's called a lifestyle change.

They have no idea what nutrition really means. Just laugh, I sure do. Thank God I don't care what other people think about me.

People say "how did you lose all that weight (I've done it in a year) and I just tell them "I don't know what happened, I woke up this way." I think it's SO funny.

"I should do sport, but I have no time" (take stairs more, take car less). My favourite: "Heavy bones" 😂 Each time someone is asking me what my secret is and how I lost 50 kg, they are so disappointed when I answer "more out than in" and don't present a magic trick ... 😂 Go on, From371, you'te doing great 👍👍👍

I can totally relate. I get the "are you being healthy?" Why don't you want to eat three heaping portions of whatever artery-clogging food I'm serving?

Been there. My sister said I look "ill" because she's used to seeing me at 250-300lbs. I'm around 195lb now. I've also heard the "Starving yourself" bit, but I'm hitting my macro goals by eating and balance what I'm eating and hitting around 1500 cals/day. I find it hard to hit even hit 1800!

Sit back and enjoy the attention.

My favorite/not favorite is "you can't possibly have 50 pounds to lose, you look great as you are!"

I hadn't been to the doctor for a year and I had lost 60 pounds. He told me when he looked at my chart he thought I had weight loss surgery and didn't tell him! HAHA I said NOPE KETO and FASTING.

Also, "I can really see it in your face" after losing 60 pounds. I thought, "How BIG was my HEAD?"
