JustBananas, I'm 5ft4! You bring up some really good things to focus on! My acid reflux has been helped, my clothes look good, my running head been awesome! I feel healthy and that's all that should matter!

KayBuckaroo, or family seems to have few limits in conversation topics 😂 I like the idea of just stopping the convo and saying that it doesn't benefit me. Thank you for your support ❤

I'm sorry you had to go through that, Diana! It must be part generational or something 😔 thank you for sharing your experience! At least we know we're healthy and we feel good about ourselves 💪

my female boss said I'm too skinny. and the accountant told me I need another 20# too me it's just the new normal for our culture. most are overweight so normal is now abnormal. both of their husbands are bigger than me. I'm happy and comfortable. granted I want another 20 pounds but not because I'm unhappy. it's a challenge. be comfortable and happy with you. everyone else can urinate vertically up a braided lashing device.

HeBrewZ, thanks for sharing that. Yeah, I do agree that obesity is what everyone is used to seeing, what is healthy is foreign. We'll keep doing us 💪🦵😄

It's true. Generally the people that tease me about my size are big. The guys my size are very complimentary of the cut. Keep doing you hon. Your awesome

A saver, HeBrewZ is right about the culture thing. I live at the beach in Southern California, land of the size 2 yoga-body women and surfer dudes with a size 30” waist. You could drop another 20 pounds and no one would bat an eye here. They would tell you that you look great and ask you for tips.

Certain types men will always feel entitled to comment on women’s bodies.

When I quit smoking sooo many people offered me cigarettes. I don't think it's intentional, just some kind of anxiety about being the only one left? :)

Seriously, Hebrewz be looking like the statue of David and people criticize? Lol! I’m also a perfect weight right now and mom seems worried. Inform and ignore is my strategy.

I'd say ignore them, because you're doing what's healthy and you're happy

You say in your own profile that your goal weight is 120-125 and now you are 119 and complaining because your FIL says you are too thin. And you are blaming him for this.

Don’t let their words get to you. You’re doing this for yourself. They have gotten use to you’re previous size maybe but that’s not your problem. You are the one living in your body.

People who are overweight themselves get jealous when we slim down.

It could, of course, be that they're just jerks. Or it could be that they're worried you're overdoing it and crossed over into anorexia. People aren't good at being loving when they are worried about you and this is such a sensitive and personal topic. If you are certain that they are wrong and you are healthy, then kiss them for their concern, thank them for worrying about you, and let them know you got this! Then move on with confidence. On the other hand, if you are worried there is anything to their concern, bring it to your doctor. In any case, you can just move on. Nothing is gained by letting this eat away at you!

Sounds on the rude side, agree that some people have a hard time seeing others succeed with weight loss. They have a set perspective of what you should look like, especially when they themselves overweight leading to some inappropriate statements.
