This fat girl keeps trying to give me weight loss advice?
How do I tell her to shut up without hurting her feelings?
Sorry fat wasn’t the right word but you know what I mean she’s “bigger”
I’m actually not much of a cracker eating girl myself, actually some would call ME fat – size 8

Usually I give a valid excuse. I tell him/her that I’m following a program and I only got a minute or so to rest before I start my next workout so I can’t really ‘chat’. But I only do that if I get more than 1 advise from the same person. You don’t know, maybe you ‘are’ doing it wrong
Just last week I got an advise from a fat person on how to correctly do my bar-bell squats. And he was right, it felt really intense. Later I learned that he was an ex-bodybuilder who used to be a regular at the gym. I could never had guessed
Just because she doesn’t look like it, doesn’t mean that she doesn’t know what she is talking about
And just because she’s ‘big’ doesn’t mean it’s not working with her because you don’t know how ‘bigger’ she was before
For all you know she could have been a mammoth
Sure, deep inside it kinda hard to respect a smoking doctor, or a bald barber. But that doesn’t have to do with anything
So the point? Tell her to piss off if she is bothering you. But don’t be rude because you look better/fitter/healthier than her.
And off subject: cardio and weight lifting is the correct way to lose body fat and look toner. Although next time you may ‘suggest’ that she does the cardio after the weight workout, she may get better results (after weight lifting, all is left to burn is fat, which cardio takes care off).
Be cool, be nice
