Doesn't anyone else get sick of seeing weight loss questions from girls with totally unrealistic goals?

[Anonymous]

How many of you have seen this same question (slightly reworded each time, of course) pop up from a girl?

"I need to lose an unrealistically high amount of weight in an unrealistically short time frame and I'm willing to do extremely dangerous and self destructive things to make it happen."

You've probably seen it more times than I can count.

Ladies, why do you have such a difficult time grasping the concept that losing weight in a healthy manner is something that takes TIME and PATIENCE? Men who are trying to get fit don't seem to have this problem as they all seem to understand that it takes time. So what's the deal, ladies? WHY is it so hard to comprehend that one month of undergoing some fad diet isn't enough to make up for a year (or more) of living an unhealthy, sedentary lifestyle?

LOL

Good. Thanks for posting this. :)

It takes eating healthy and regular exercise.

Loosing weight overnight means gaining it back overnight (usually more than what you started with) - there is no alternative to this. Slow, healthy, and permanent or quick, damaging, and temporary.

Thanks for being a girl and not taking offense to this. I was worried it might come off that way, like the anonymous poster above you mentioend.

I find the more annoying questions is when the girl says she is 114lbs and think she is fat...

[Asker]

That's another one that bugs me. UGH!

[jimmy217]

yea I had a similiar rant the other day. I saw someone ask if eating chewing gum for a week was a good diet lmfao. Or a all lemon diet. I was like wtf. The chewing gum one was a under 18 year old who wanted to lose weight because she had a baby...*face palm*

[Asker]

...And these are who we have to choose from for potential girlfriends as single guys? :/

They don't even know what sedentary means.

[Asker]

I take it you know what question I just read that inspired this rant, lol.

[sceneofthecrime]

i admit, I had to google it. but its good to know my kinda lifestyle has another word than just 'lazy'

[Shaun]

You are looking at it all wrong. She doesn't want to lose 30 pounds, she wants a bunch of people to tell her she looks good.

[Asker]

Hopefully they won't.

[Darkfairie17]

I agree with you! It's really annoying and sad that they would rather not do it the healthy way and just want the weight off. Why is it so important to be thin? I would rather be healthy, and not strive to just keep getting thinner and thinner. Not that thin isn't healthy but if someone has to starve themselves to get thin, that is not healthy for them.

[sceneofthecrime]

I'm a girl, and I'd say its because, effing hell, most of us just are impatient. me included. I want to lose weight NOW and not in a year.

[Asker]

Unfortunately that's just not how it works. And that's common knowledge.

[sceneofthecrime]

doesn't mean we have to like it :P

[Asker]

I don't like the fact that I can't fly with the powers of my mind. But I'm intelligent enough to accept that it's not a realistic possibility :P

[sceneofthecrime]

guess you're smarter than me :) But, if there was even the tiniest, tiniest possibility that flying with the power of your mind would be possible, wouldn't you try.. ? :P

[Asker]

Not at the risk of falling and seriously injuring myself. Which is exactly what women do when they go after any high-risk weight loss method that claims it can fulfill their request of losing an absurdly large amount of weight in an absurdly short amount of time. And I have to tell you, it really makes it hard as a single guy looking for a woman I can respect when I see that every woman out there almost is doing dangerous things to their bodies for the sake of looking better in a bikini.

[sceneofthecrime]

ya, I guess I get your point.

[selfishstars]

Yes, I agree.

I especially hate the ones that start out with something like, "Don't give me a lecture about how unhealthy this is, just answer the question."

[Anonymous]

I'm not sure what's worse

The fact that your "question" is nothing but an outright insult calling out women

or

The fact that it's true :(

[Asker]

I hope you'll pay more attention to the fact that, as offensive as it does sound, it does raise a good point.

[dIO_oIb]

lol. I always just assume these girls are really young who are impatient and want to see results now. I just over look those questions.

[Karatequeen]

I hate those questions. I don't think I can browse through 1 page without seeing one.

I actually hate about 80% of the questions about weight on here.

[b-baller_shooter]

anyone here able to give me advise on how to lose weight over time in a healthy manner. I am already pretty fit and I eat healthy. I don't want a diet where I'm going to gain it all back in a week or anything. I'm willing to wait, exercise becauseI know how annoying it is to listen to everyoine else saying "Is there something I can eat to lose this?" Or "can't I just like not eat" :p it's unrealistic and really hurts the body instead. Eh?

[brunettebelle]

Some don't have patience and we just want it off. The media and people around us suck.
