"You're getting TOO thin!"

ITA with all the above, I hate this so much, and to adopt some of the above:

"Yeah, the crack/speed is really working"
"Yeah, the AIDS must be kicking in now"
 
It's incredibly frustrating. Clothes hide a lot, and while I know I look better, I am the only one who has seen me naked. I see the rolls, the back fat, I'm the one that feels my butt jiggling when I walk. I know how much more work my body needs better than anyone else.

So my usual response when someone tells me I've lost enough weight is, to grab my rolls in both hands, and ask, "wanna see my stomach?" They normally decline.

HAHAHAHA, I do that TWICE a day when people say that! But, I usually say, "Ya think so huh?", usually shuts them up too. I love that people are responding with the same exact reactions I have.

I've said this and the response is usually a blank look then laughter but, then when I look back with a totally straight face is usually gets awkward and quite :p Ha, ha, ha!


I find that the couple of people who comment on me being "too thin" are people who are struggling with trying to lose weight themselves and maybe they are a wee bit envious. But, I let it roll off my back. And hey, I'd rather be told I'm thin that fat :)

I just let it roll off my back. I'll stop losing weight when I feel my best and feel confident in the nude. And for a 5'3 female who weighs 150 I don't think thats too thin at all. I'll never heard the end of it when I get to 125 and I'm lean :p

Honey, we ALL feel this way. Trust me. In clothes, we look ten times more slendor. Big hugs to you.

All the time I get "You need to eat" or "You're always so cold cause you have no insulation." If only they saw me in the buck, they'd understand. I just plaster a fake smile on my face. I hardly dignify these types of comments with a response anymore. I know they're trying to be kind, but *I* know the truth.
 
I sometimes get the "Don't lose anymore weight, your getting too thin" comments.... Sometimes people just don't understand, or perhaps they are just making comments because you have always served a purpose in their lives as the "fat" friend/sibling, etc and they don't want that to change. I know my body better than anyone else does. I know what my body fat percentage is, what my weight is, and what size I wear in clothing. I also know how I look naked, obviously. I've still got some biscuits, lol, and some love handles that need some work. Most people just don't see that thru my clothing.

As far as I am concerned my body is my body, and no one has to live in it except me, right? If I want it toned and to look a certain way, I'm not going to stop training it just because someone makes their comments or gives me their opinion I never asked for. A lot of the time, you just can't make anyone happy, lol... One minute your too fat, now your too thin.

That's funny, just yesterday I had the "you're getting too thin" conversation with my parents. Their argument is that I'm very tall and I'd be unattractive if I lost much more weight. I tried to explain to them how I'm still a bit chubby, and how I'd just like to get into the healthy range. But you know how parents are. There was no convincing them.
 
I got that a lot from college friends and my family a few years back. It only pushed me more and made me feel better about myself. Unfortunately, I was in fact too thin (5'7" 119). I agree that some people are envious and will say it, but when you are dieting, sometimes it is hard to see the real picture. If you hear it often, or from loved ones that seem very concerned, try to put things in perspective and see if maybe you are too thin. Trust me; I know it's hard to think of yourself as thin after you have battled your weight.
