I know I cant be the only one to experience this.
My thin friends sometimes will make comments about whatever technique I'm using to try and lose weight, offering their own nuggets of wisdom or whatever which, sure, I guess its nice that they care.
But, of all of us in the group, I'm the one that's been researching and reading about health and nutrition the most so I can lose weight-- by all rights, I should be considered the expert on health in our little group. I'm even a professional biochemist! But because of the way I look, I'm not, and my thin friends who don't know anything get to tout themselves as "lifestyle gurus".
When a thin girl tells me "Why don't you try counting calories" or "You should try exercising" I just want to scream! I'm almost 30 not 15-- you don't need to tell me sugar and fat is bad, I know it is, I just keep eating it anyway lol. It's like when people try to get smokers to quit by telling them it causes cancer-- smokers know that already, they just are having trouble stopping.
I know its my fault I'm not showing progress and its just them trying to help, but its so frustrating for them to assume I'm fat just because I haven't figured out the rules. I know the rules! I just keep breaking them...
I'm gluttinous, not stupid!
Lol, maybe I'm just sensitive.
