Does anyone else have family members that tell you not to lose any more weight? It really winds me up when people say stuff like that.

I used to be 182lbs (with 15% body fat) but after suffering a freak illness in late 2017, which destroyed me both physically and mentally, I gradually shot up to 207lbs (32.7% BF) after being locked away in my bedroom for three years. Now, three months into the carnivore diet I'm back down to 183.4lbs! (woop, woop). Although I'm probably still at around 25% body fat, I'm in a much better place now.

The reason I got annoyed is that even though I'm near enough the same weight as I used to be, I still have more to lose in order to 1) get down to a similar BF%, and 2) feel a lot fitter. Especially when you consider that at my fittest I used to go to the gym every other day, play a 90min football (soccer) match 2 times a week, walk to/from work for 40 mins at a time and generally was really happy with my life. Now? I'm confined to my desk for 12 hours a day - every day.

I just don't appreciate being told every two seconds not to lose any more weight. Firstly because I'm doing this for my health mainly, and secondly because I'm the only one in my family that actually has any knowledge about nutrition, health & fitness. The rest of my family are still avoiding Avocados purely because "it's Fat". As much as I love my family, I can't stand to discuss food around them.

I don't want to sound ungrateful as I know it's supposed to be a compliment, but this sort of comment really winds me up as I feel like it's something that could make another person revert back to their old, miserable ways. I certainly wouldn't want to go back to being the person I was just a few months ago.

Am I the only one that gets (annoyed by) these sort of comments?

P.S. Sorry for the rant!
