kristyanne3's Journal, 07 July 2014

tell me please why people who aren't dieting have such issues with people who are?? I either get asked how I lost weight and accused of being bulimic or people make a point to give me a hard time when I say no to a donut... regardless of what I say or how healthy I personally think I look and feel - im constantly met with negative comments about dieting...and its only by people who eat what they want and don't care. and that's fine.. but why so negative against people who do???
that's my vent.
carry on...

Then Kristyanne, I do owe you an apology. And gratefulness for your gracefulness at my faux pas! Understand that I've never seen you, and 115 lbs could be awfully thin for someone 5'7''. The last thing I would want to do is encourage someone in their pathology. I've seen some very sick people with anorexia, and I would not want to cheer anyone on if I believed it was the case, or even doubted it was the case. My comment was well intentioned. Thanks again for your understanding and patience.

I looked at your weight and originally thought, WTH... she's thin. Then back peddled and thought, "good for her for taking her health and life in her hands and controlling what she is or isn't eating". No matter what anyone says, do what you think is healthy for you. Those who criticize are usually the ones who would give anything to be thin, perhaps again. I went from being the fattest in the family to the 3rd thinnest and do hear the "you're too skinny" thing. I'm not. I've got lean muscle, so I don't look as if I weigh 166. But wearing the same size clothes when I weighed 135. Just keep it healthy and consider exercising/strength training if you're not. I recall telling myself 30 years ago that when I got 5 lbs too heavy I would cut back and diet. Over 120lbs. later...

I've run into people who feel they should be watching what they eat but aren't so they feel guilty or they are jealous because they have not lost the weight I have. They are the ones who react negatively to my dietary choices. I think more people who eat what they want really do care, they just don't hold themselves to a strict standard.

no need for apology Maunikmtl... its a common mistake people make. I also am very petite and have small bones so when you look at me - I don't think I look skinny - I feel proportioned for my size. and being short - truly - 5lbs has nowhere to go when I put it on! you are completely forgiven :) but no offense was taken... I have in the past been that anorexic person because I truly didn't know you could eat and lose weight. I guess I am more sensitive to it just because I am finally doing it the healthy way and im still catching it! Thank you ClassicRocker and Whittling. I do think some people are jealous... I am considering a little strength training for the winter when I cant get out for my walks. I hate exercising indoors but I wont trudge out in the cold either. I usually walk until the first big snow storm then not again til after valentines day. ive been known to walk the office (inside) a time or two. but I think some strength training might keep my mind busy. I will be looking for help them because I have no idea what and how much I need to add to my diet for that!

It's not important to them so they can't understand how it's important to you. I have one friend who I worry about because she is getting so heavy. She has numerous health issues which could be solved by losing some weight. But she's still in the perpetual "I'll start my diet tomorrow" mindset complicated by "I can't be on a diet, I'm under too much stress". Far be it from me to preach to her about her issues or how she eats, but because of how she sees food (a combination of comfort and a problem to be dealt with tomorrow) she can't fathom the idea that for me one meal off plan means two weeks struggling to get back on. She talks a good talk about supporting me in my efforts, but when it comes down to it there is no walk behind it.

I think Hoosier 346 nailed it. People are mean because they don't want to acknowledge that they are making poor food choices themselves. Coercing you into joining them makes them feel better about themselves. As a fellow shorty, I covet your 115, but I will join you there someday & will be in your exact position - trying to maintain while fighting social pressure, metabolism changes and vertical challenges. ;) Hang in there & ignore people who can't support your health goals.

THANK YOU :)

Probably because they feel guilty themselves about eating unhealthy....

I would never tell someone I think they are overweight and no one can tell anyone else, but for some reason its socially acceptable for people to tell others they are too skinny. why is it different when they do it? should i dare counter that i think they are overweight when they get on me??? no! and i would never! but its ok for them to do it... i just don't understand why its different on the other side?

its not any less hurtful...

Some people are just that way, it happens to me all the time they even say I wish I weighed what you weigh, why are you on a diet etc... Cant win, have to please yourself ;)

Don't let them know you are dieting. Sometimes people mean well, but they have to listen with their ears. Next time, tell them you are allergic to the donut, which is true. Anyway don't let them ruin an otherwise perfectly pleasant day. Stick to your guns! Have a great evening.
