I think I will SCREAM

Don't get me wrong...I have worked hard to get where i'm at by using my pouch as a tool, But I swear if I have one more person tell me I am too skinny now I think I will scream!! You don't go up to people who are thin and tell them they are thin? You don't go up to MO people and say Oh I think you are way too fat! They might think it but they would never say it. I live in a very small town so it is very hard to be rude and it is not in my nature...but I tell you I am getting close. My beloved Nutritionist Erin tells me to tell people my weight is none of their business...LOL. We are having an annual birthday weinee roast this weekend and my hubby's family is going to be there and I know the first thing out of their mouths will be YOUR TOO THIN>>>I have already heard about it agazillion times... Does anyone have any "Nice" suggestions to deal with this issue. With strangers I show them my before picture and it usually shuts them up.

Give it back to them. Peek around their middle/butt area and say, yeah, looks like you can loose a few pounds. Say it in a jokingly manner of course and laugh while your doing it. That might make them think next time they want to comment on your weight.

Hi Ramona! Just smack the first person who says it in front of the rest of the group, they'll all be so terrified of you that you won't have to worry about anyone talking to you LOL!! Just kidding ... kinda . You could say yes, I'm planning on fading away into nothing very soon... gosh I guess I can't think of anything not smarta**ed to say LOL! Hope you have an awesome time and thanx for all the updates on Katie. Huggzzz, Cathy PS ... Erin IS the most awesome isn't she!?!

People have started saying things like that to me as well. Or, they'll say "Oh Cheryl, please tell me that you're not going to lose any more weight" - grrrr..... What is my response? I just smile and say "Thanks for your concern, but my doctor and I know what is best for me and my body."

Thank you all for the great replies..the weinee roast was a great success and I did hear the comments don't lose any more but I stayed calm and was cordial to all. Yes Cathy I would like to smack some of them but my hubby would be a little upset having to bail me out of jail.
