Because I have lost weight (5 stone) people started saying Ooo you've lost enough weight don't loose anymore.... To one colleague asking was I anorexic or had cancer,!!!
Does anyone think people can be jealous if you loose weight and they can't? Hopefully I'm making sense lol. X

Think people are totally jealous of ur success. Just ignore them. You don't need there approval :-)Originally Posted by Choccyfan72
If they ask if u're anorexic say "i don't think so, anorexic's look in the mirror + see fat, I look in the mirror + see how fabulous I'm looking" followed by "I could give you a few diet tips if you want lol" x

Yes. One woman at my work tells me I shouldn't aspire to be a size 12 (what I have in mind) cos its too skinny for me. And she will 'stop me' if I go too far apparently. Ill seriously snap if she ever tells me I look too thin.
Ignore them all I say! It's our bodies and as long as we're not underweight then who cares x
Lol- have images of her pinning you down and shoving chocolate eclairs down your throat whilst phoning the police to report your outrageous weight loss. Seriously, what a daft thing for her to say!!
week 1: -1 lb
week 2: -4lb
week 3-5: +2.5lb
week 6: -3lb
I've had people say I've gone too far and should stop (bearing in mind I stopped over a year ago as that's when I got to target) also had people tell other people I look too skinny... I really don't care... I'm happy with my weight, I looked in the mirror today and honestly for the first time ever saw that I really do not need to loose any weight anywhere... but I really don't look TOO skinny.
Just ignore it, its usually jealousy... or sometimes people worry that you may take it that step too far, but slimming world is a nice healthy eating plan, so they need not worry

People have us pegged. We fit a certain stereo-type they've given us. We're the over-weight but still fun people. We're the friend you call when you want to look better. We're the person they go out to lunch with when they want to scoff but not do it alone. We're the one they complain to about certain aspects of themselves because they know we know how it feels.
When you lose weight, you effectively move out of that pigeon-hole, and they then have to find somewhere else to fit you, in their mind. But everyone resists change, and they don't want to have to do that, so they encourage you to stay as you are, or even gain some weight back, so that they feel secure in their own selves again.
It's not us. It's them.

I am glad it's not just me, when my colleague asked if I had cancer, I could of cried, because my aunty just got diagnosed with cancer the same week,. Also if I hadn't lost weight I would not have broken my ribs (fell through the banister, I was SOBER) they would not of found my heart condition until it was much worse, I put the symptoms down to weigh before x

Exactly! She's always like 'I won't let you go too far!' Feel like telling her to p***off! Lol
Even though I have only been doing slimming world THREE WEEKS, somebody said to me on week 2, Oh dont lose to much, as your so tall you will look ill. I just looked at her, What planet is she on ?? Ive lost 10lbs not 10stone YET !!!!!
I think people have just been used to me as the fat friend for so long they cant imagine me being any different lol. Also I think they are Jel !!
I Long for the day somebody will think I could possible look ill due to weight loss lol.

People are jealous because like anything else loosing weight is hard and people assume we're going to fail... When they realise that we are doing something positive, out come the green eyes and claws lol x
That made me laugh. X
Oh god it's awful how jealous people can be at those of us losing weight. Someone at my work started a calorie counting diet to lose weight after Christmas, after seeing how my weight loss had made me look slimmer! I raved about SW and and brilliant it is, yet she went on calorie counting. She eats a single piece of fruit for breakfast at work, a pot noodle or a sandwich from the shop for lunch and then has a chicken stir fry or a veggie dinner with a few bits of pasta for tea. She is massively unhappy, always hungry and whining about how crap dieting is, yet when I tell her about SW she says it's crap!
She is very skinny anyway and doesn;t need to lose weight AT ALL, you can see her bones through her skin, but because fatty-me is losing weight (albeit slowly) and ppl in the office are cheering me on (some of them anyway - don't get me started!) she feels like she wants to do better. She told a colleague this exact thing!
Jealousy is annoying and skinny minis can rub in our faces how skinny and slim and perfect they look. But from my experiences, we all have weight issues, no matter our size. I just wish even the skinny flat-tummy early-20-somethings could see that slimming world is about healthy eating and not starving yourself into depression and there is no need to compete. We should all just find a healthy medium and try to be happy!
My only thing at work is besides the odd Incredibly rude person is that, I am the manager of my Dept, I have worked here for 22 years, and whenever someone comes into the office, they will always want to speak to one of my assistants, it feels like because i'm obese i can't possibly be the manager, its just the way they will walk past me to go to one of them, I supose when i have lost a bit more we will see what happens then.

My old work colleague (she got sacked because of the comment) said in front of my boss and supervisor, well if I can't loose weight I hope you die of your gammy heart!! :-( needless to say that didn't go down well. X
