What are some of your peet peeves about how people relate to your obesity?

One of the biggies for me is when people say "Oh you have such a pretty face!" Yeah. You're saying I have a pretty face but the rest of me is digusting?! Another is when people try to "teach" me (the stupid, clueless idiot) methods of loosing weight (like I have never made an effort to loose before?!) and then they say "If I can do it, so can you." or "If I can do it, anyone can." That really tics me off. Just because YOUR body chemistry allowed your body to shed the pounds using whatever junk you were using, doesn't mean it'll work the same with my body chemistry. Plus take into consideration your lack of diseases compared to mine which makes me gain weight. I hear this "if I can do it, anyone can" mantra alot on tv commercials for weight loss products & these people look like they've never been really obese in their lives. And if they really did have a significant weight problem, let's see their pic a year from now & they probably put it all back on & then some. We all here know now that these scams don't work & that's why we had/will be having wls! Some people are so aggravating when they're crying boo-hoo-hoo, I'm really fat. I'm a wopping 2 lbs. overweight. Give me a break! That's nothing! I'm not saying that those of you who are 5/10/15 lbs. or so from your goal shouldn't be complaining. It's different for us because we're trying to beat obesity. But these skinny minnies who complain about every ounce they gain & then have the nerve to consider themselves suffering and to call themselves fat. Well I got that out of my system......Anyone else have pet peeves like this? It would be neat to hear them!
