so annoyed
Ok, I know I shouldnt vent but I cant help it. My MIL is sooooooo interested in my weight loss. I feel almost like she likes me more now that there is less of me. I am still the same person. UGH!!!

Re: so annoyed
I know what you mean. I've been on WW for over 2 years and I have lost a good amount of weight. I have someone in my life who feels like it is necessary to comment every time she sees me that I look like I lost more weight, even when I have been losing and gaining the same 5 pounds for like 6 months. It is very annoying, and I have asked her to stop doing it, which worked for about a month and then she started in again. I am not obsessed with talking about my weight, why should other people be?
I think sometimes it comes from people's own dissatisfaction with how they look or feel about their body. When they see that you have been successful, they think you have some "secret" they can get from you. My secret - when I work my a$$ off and do what I am supposed to I lose weight.

Re: so annoyed
Do you think she could be jealous? Is she heavy? There is someone at work who has lost over 40 lbs. on WW, and I always ask her very detailed questions--what she eats for breakfast and lunch, etc., but it's only because I want to lose weight myself...

No, in my case it's not that. The conversation usually goes like this:
"oohhhh, look at you, you look like you lost MORE weight. I can't stand it, I really have to do something. You keep losing and I don't...." (but as I said before, I have actually gained since a year ago and have yet to get it off...so I don't really like talking about it to anyone but DH) I have given her resources and don't mind giving tips or ideas. It's the general commenting on my body and what I am wearing that I dislike so much.
I am also the type of person that just doesn't really like being in the center of attention and maybe it annoys me more than it would other people. I don't mind the "wow, you look good" comments. this is something else and DH notices it too.

Re: so annoyed
My MIL is very thin and pretty and often reminds that she weighed 92 pounds on her wedding day. I just feel like now I appeal to more as a daughter in law. It stinks!
