To be upset about this reaction?

[JinglingAllTheWay]

I joined a diet club after christmas and have just got my half stone award tonight (with a half pound weight loss).

Came home feeling quite pleased, but I've been told how disappointing that weight loss is and how it wasn't very good. :( Yes I know it could have been better but it was a stressful week and I'm happy with any weight loss!

AIBU to be upset by this reaction? I am probably over reacting as he's right it wasn't great but hey ho.

By who, DH, kids?

Who told you that your weight loss wasn't good enough?

You got an award from the diet club- who was disappointed? Your DH? If so ignore - what a pig.

(btw well done you, wish I could do the same :( )

who responded like that?

bastard oh so loving dp

He also added I've "not really tried" this week and eaten the wrong foods.

Well....
Im telling you

WELL DONE that is absolutely fantastic and you should be VERY proud of yourself becuase it is hard slog to diet!!

Fuck off is a complete response! You LOST weight, and have been losing weight steadily for some time now, so have been sticking to your diet and heading for your goal. It's been shown again and again that people who lose weight slowly and over a longer time are more likely to have actually made sustainable llifestyle changes that will let them keep the weight off long term, rather than crash dieters who yo-yo. Why is he being so negative? I am for you - losing weight is damn hard and you are doing it! Ignore him he's a wanker. Tell him if he doesn't shut the fuck up I'll come and sit on him, and I would lay money that I weigh more than the two of you put together. He's a miserable twat and should be encouraging you, not being rude and mean - he's supposed to love you ffs!

What Pom said.

YANBU.

Leave the bastard

Tell him to fuck off!

Half a stone since Christmas and your dp says that's dissapointing?

I really hope he has a body like Peter Andres if he can go around saying things like that.

What a cock!

He is supposed to be supportive and encourage you even if you lost two pounds since Christmas.

I think he probably is insecure about himself so he likes you to feel bad about yourself because it's the only way he knows to make himself feel better. Twats do that you see.

Your 'd'p is a prat. Losing weight slowly and steadily is the best way. Please ignore his negative comments and keep on with it, you're doing brilliantly! You will have weeks where you only lose half a pound, or even just stay the same, but any week where you don't gain is a success imo :)

(and can you pass me some motivation please, I have 2.5 stone left to lose and seem to have lost all my willpower :( )

I take it your DH looks like George Clooney?

And is as fit as James Cracknell?

Well done on losing half a stone even in the face of such idiot behaviour from your DP. It so much better to lose the weight slowly as it is more likely to stay off.

And again, as they say in the brownies, well done well done well done

yanbu

The only acceptable response to "I have achieved something" is "Let's celebrate, you're amazing".

Thank you for all your kind words, is making me feel better :)

Apparently, he's only disappointed as he knows I could do much better

Some people will always want to rain on your parade, Jiggling. Ignore the bastard him, and keep going.

I have one of those naff fridge magnets that echoes true "no-one can make you feel inferior without your consent".

I dunno, 7lbs in 4 weeks isn't great...

Does he often act like a total prick play down your achievements or tell you things "for your own good"? Or is tonight a one off special? And does he have a body like this, or could he too 'do much better'?

(last part retracted if your husband is actually Alexander Skarsgard)

I've only been going two weeks Athinginyourlife!

Any weight loss is weight loss and whoever said slow and steady wins the race (what is it with me and cliches tonight?) was right. If not a bit smug and annoying.

WTF AThingInYourLife?

7lbs in 4 weeks is brilliant. Saying it's not is rather rude and shows that you have no idea what good sustainable weight loss is all about.

It's averaging at over 1.5lbs a week, which is what you should be aiming for - no more than 2lbs a week.

Jingling be proud of yourself. You've done amazing.
