What do you do with comments about your work out?

[want2bhot]

I have been working out for awhile, just started hitting the diet hard, I am trying to get to about 15-20% BF. I am on the right track...My question is not about diet and working out, but what do you do when people who don't even work out or watch their diet comment about how you are eating and exercising. It just pisses me off, I am 100% hispanic, and have a big family, and I am critisized for working out and watching what I eat.....

WHAT IS UP WITH THAT??????????? DOES ANYONE ELSE GET THIS???????

Also, I have co-workers who look like crap, but have the nerve to tell me that I am eating to much, and my protein shakes are making me fat, and I am never going to lose weight....URRRRRRRRRRRRRR I really just want to tell them all to F___ OFF!

But I tell them to kiss my ass!

misery loves compainy.they are jealous of you.

I am sorry, I just wondered if anyone else got this crap....I hear it all the time, and it is discouraging sometimes.

I mean I am by no means where I want to be, I am still working off baby fat from my 3 year olds pregnancy, so I am not a hard body or a stick figure, but I know what I need to do, and am doing it....I just get so frustrated when people that are supposed to be your support system, just knock you down, instead of saying your doing good, or keep it up.

Well, anyway, I just had to vent, thanks ladies for hearing me out.

There's three ways you deal w/ it:

1) Turn it around on them - "My shake is making me fat? How do you figure that?" -- make them defend their claims. They usually don't know what they are talking about.

2) Say, "Actually I've got great energy, dropping bodyfat and its all working as planned. I feel great! BTw, How's that donut working for ya?" If they want to get into the discussion - the usual - you need to eat to burn fat efficiently. if you starve yourself then you are just skinny fat, etc etc etc.

3) Ignore them / tell them to fuck off / mind their own business / why do they care / etc. Or just laugh... as above -- I see that donut is workign well for ya.

Its always amazing how no one comments on the masses of flabby people shoveling down fast food, but those same people seem so concerned about how healthy people eat. Never understood it. I guess when something is not the norm (i.e. eatign other than fast food) people have to comment. Bad reflection of our society.

They are displacing their insecurities/failings/miserable lives onto you - thus by putting YOU down - they feel better about themselves.

I heard it from the people I used to work with - so I feel ya.

Oh and what Sassy said.
