why do people say…you need some more meat on you…?
Why do people say….you don’t have enough meat on you…..??? I’ve been hitting the gym really hard since January and feel I’ve made some major gains, losing fat..gaining muscle. I’m skinny fat, so when people say I need to put more meat on my body I get disgusted! I don’t need more fat…. I need to gain muscle and lose the fat I do have!
I’m still working hard at the gym and on my diet..still ways to go…but was just perturbed with a comment made to while at work this week. Anyone else get this and get annoyed with it?

But don’t let it get you down, your doing g8!

A lot of people have a lot to say. Definately do things at your own comfort and pace. Whats worse is that Im sure some of the people making comments like that to you could definately use some work themselves. Its clear to see you’re going in the right direction with your progress pics. Wonder what they are going to say when they see you at your goal. Good work girl. —X

I think that people say that to make themselves feel better about being out of shape. They think that bringing someone else down can make them feel better. They may also think that they are giving you a compliment, as in, you are thin. Keep your chin up. It looks like you are doing a great job. Keep up the good work.

in my experience those are people who are trying to make you feel less than for choosing a healthy lifestyle. i get comments like that all the time and i realize i am doing something right. you could flip the script and say "did you mean that as a compliment, because if you did- thank you- and if you didn’t, were you just trying to be mean?" or you could say "by meat, do you mean fat? because i think that’s unhealthy and nasty, but thanks for your input"….or you could say "well i am happy with how i look! so…did somebody who doesn’t get a vote have an opinion?"
You look great!!!!
