Unwanted advice/opinions
| Thu, 07-22-2004 - 9:47am |
This has probably been asked before, but I'm putting it out there anyway.
How do you deal with unwanted advice or opinions about your weightloss plan or general health? How do you handle those "Little Mrs. Perfects" who go on and on about how you should be eating, exercising, and living?

Here is a list off of ivillage of things to do:
Here's a short list of tips for handling saboteurs:
1. Tune in to your support network and identify true friends and foes.
2. Ask for what you need and don't need.
3. Limit time with others if their behavior is a hindrance.
4. Avoid saboteurs who won't change their ways.
5. Keep focused on your personal goals.
6. Seek support from others facing similar weight challenges.
And this is the site for motivation.

Anyway, I guess I'll just develop a way to tune the idiot out. I just wish I could mute her!

I loved your quote about the center of the universe lol!
I deal with this at work.
THAT completely derails them most of the time, because it places the subject squarely on their noseiness.
I figure, if people are asking me too many ???'s about my weight loss, there is a reason they don't know. If I felt it was necessary for them to know, they already would have.
I actually used this tactic today on a friend, who was questioning me about something that was really NONE of her business. What a joy watching her squirm!
Try it, Viv, it's fun AND it works!

BTW, I like your quotes, especially the one about the center of the universe :)
