I've gotten to the point where I don't talk about weightloss with people unless I know they're supportive. So if people are sitting around talking about diet and I mention something that works for me or that I like, I have gotten the "you don't need to lose weight!" or "What are you, a size 2?" (No, thank you, I was a 10 at the time that was said. And I was not in the healthy range for my BMI thankyouverymuch. And more importantly, I knew I could be stronger and more energetic if I lost weight and gained muscle.) Sorry, I got distracted. :) Anyway, the only response is to just not talk about weight at all and say something like, "Yeah, but that's what I like to eat when I'm feeling healthy." Nothing about weight - more focus on "This is what I do to feel my best."

Yesterday is but a dream, tomorrow but a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day.

Realize you can't change others, you can only change your reaction to them. Sometimes a non-reaction will do.

People are a pain without the added weirdness of discussing weight loss. Just keep doing what you do, and your results will speak for themselves!

My goal is to lose 40ish (or until a size 6 fits again) when talking with people (diet is a common topic with women) I hate the eyerolls I get at my numbers (both my scale # and goal #) I have to explain that at almost 5' tall that 10# looks like 20# on me!! It's like they don't think it's a struggle. Well, it is a big deal - I mean if I lose 5# everyone notices! I'm older now and weight loss is getting so hard :(
