Annoying comments you hear all the time

[The Stranger]

Is that like, "part of this balanced breakfast?"  Haven't seen that one since I was a kid, but I think the Calvin and Hobbes gag on that phrase was the point in my life when I became aware of advertising doublespeak.

 more like "balanced breakfast adjacent"

The most annoyingly stupid idea I hear parroted all the time is in the political pseudothought of others.

 

 

 

I keep hearing supporters of various dumb little parties think that we should "vote" for a different set of rules to be imposed on a populace of questionable average quality, as though a Homer Simpson will become an Einstein if only the right mode of bureaucracy oversees him.

I HATE the comments about being naturally skinny and the people that think just because I'm like that I'm healthy "You should be able to run more" "I wish I could sit around all day and look like that," If I was like you I'd be at the all you can eat cafe every day."

 

 

This is the worst. The process of actively putting on weight is way more intense than people think it is, and I have to keep a pretty close eye on my weight to make sure that I'm eating enough and I don't lose mass. The last time I fell into a slump and didn't have the energy to eat as much, I lost 5 pounds in just a few weeks

I've noticed. My weight never changed most of my life so I thought I couldn't get much lower. I took out most of my junk food and started trying to use the caveman diet as much as possible (I always forget the name so it will always be caveman XD) and I started trying to start with Cardio so I can start getting my Asthma under control before the next challenge starts. How the hell did I lose 5 pounds? Where did it even come from? I'm starting to think the goal I planned for my challenge may be a lot harder than I originally thought, I was in the mindset gaining weight was about the same as loosing it, but I guess in my case with my body type a 253lb man is going to reach my weight (153lbs) before I can reach even half of his XD

 

This only fuels the annoying comments about me being thin and small forever.

This is what I hate about getting sick... I can work for a month or two to put some weight on, get sick and end up just laying in bed and a few days later, when all is said and down, I'm done 8 pounds.

My little boy had the same thing... he's been trying to gain for YEARS... and his problem is he's still getting taller... so every time he gains a couple pounds he grows an inch and loses it... he's been right around ninety four four years

Oh, man - that was me when I was a kid, he has my sympathy.  I remember weighing in at 99 lbs. for 8th grade football - I practically begged the doctor to throw another pound on there just on principle.  If it makes him feel any better, I filled out fast once I stopped getting taller.  Went from 6'0" 135 my sophmore year to 6'1" 175 my senior year.

I know this is totally meant as a compliment but it can be easily read otherwise, and i've had it a number of times:

Person: You look good, have you lost weight?
Me: Well yes, 60lbs in the last 10months
Person: 60lbs! Really? That much?

So either i don't look 60lbs better or i actually did a damn good job of hiding my size when i was bigger.

I know myself, I lost 30 pounds and it didn't really show, it wasn't until I put on the right pair of jeans that it became apparent. I'm 6'1" so, if you're up there, I think it very well could be that it was hidden... :-)

[Briguy]

I've had a friend tell me I lost weight, and I was like

umm ya, I have working on loosing some, since I gained 15 pounds since I saw you last.

Definitely clothes are a big deal. I barely have any at the moment as i'm loathe to spend lots on clothes while i'm still changing shape. When i can no longer continue wearing my existing tent-like clothes and i bite the bullet and get some new ones is usually when people notice.

I'm 3-4" shorter than you but the clothes argument still holds.

I'm still 6'4" with a big frame and a bigger waist, so there are two kinds of pants that fit me:

 

"Relaxed fit", which are flappy like clown pants for someone of my height and girth, or

"Straight fit", which are tight like sausage casings at the thigh, and flappy at the ankles.

 

*grumbles* I just want one brand of pants that fits someone like me. 

[Guzzi]

Welcome to my world. Every pair of jeans I've ever owned has been HUGE on the waist to get them to fit my quads.

Every pair.

Since I was about 15

[Barfly]

Levi's 559s are cut looser at the butt/thighs, tighter at the waist.

[Thrillho]

When I was a 44" waist, there were no pants that were suitably snug, they were ALL clown pants.  Because clearly if I'm 6'4" and slightly pudgy, I look like the frickin' Kool-Aid Man.

Commiserations for you both.  I hate going shopping for pants (particularly jeans!) because every place near me seems determined that, since I'm female, I want everything to be made of elastic, and either can-see-my-underwear-outline tight, or nope-no-legs-here baggy :/

 

And don't get me started on jeans.... I cannot, for the life of me, find a pair that's boot or straight cut, rather than skinny, has pockets actually worth putting in pants (screw my silhouette, I better be able to fit my phone in those suckers - last pair I got, the pockets weren't deep enough for the first knuckle of my index finger before I did some modifications!), and actually sits on my waist (some chicks look good in hip jeans.  Some of us have a waist we'd like to be emphasising, thanks).  I can generally get the first two, I'm lucky if I get the second, and the third would be an honest-to-goodness miracle.

I'm kind of dreading the day I need to go out pants shopping.  It's coming.  I can grab fistfuls of cloth at the sides of my current jeans.

Ugh. I've been getting a new one recently. I gave up soda and started exercising so of course I got the typical "Why do you need to loose weight, you're already skinny" and "Why would you want to gain weight?" but I got a new one that has been annoying the crap out of me.

 

"Come on, just one soda/pizza/candy, It won't kill you" "You're not going to do it, it's just a phase" and 'What's the point of all the exercise if you're just going to eat everything?"

 

I miss soda alot, and being tempted constantly makes me quite hostile, and where's the support, and explaining to people how to gain weight is hard.

I used to know that pain.  My drivers license at 17 listed me as 6'2" and 135lbs.  I was VERY skinny.  Thankfully once I stopped growing (I stopped at 6'4" around 22 years old) I started to fill out.  I averaged about 8lbs a year of weight gain once I stopped growing until that leveled out, too.

My daughter is 15 months old and in the last 15 months I cannot count the number of times this has happened: 

 

"She's so beautiful!" Said while looking at AM. 

 

Then they look at me and get a startled look and say, "Oh my God! She looks just like you. You have the same face." As if for the first time ever they are looking at my face and not my size. :/

Hahah. I would have loved to go back in time to train with them. Granted I'd get my ass kicked and may die they were healthier.

"Do you know how many people would kill to have your body?"

 

Technically, I am in the healthy weight range for my height and build. When I mention that I'm not where I feel I should be in terms of physical fitness, I hear comments like this. It implies that I'm selfish because I didn't just work towards a certain number and then stop.
