People who complain about being fat

I can't stand people who complain about being fat/overweight etc, when they don't do anything about it to begin with.

I complain about my weight but I am constantly working out, watching what goes in my mouth and going to WW meetings.

For example, my mom always complains how much weight she is gain and how unhappy she is.

So after I finish some of my WW stuff, I give it to her to read. I have told her about how its been working for me. Nothing. She has no problem making italian sausage twice a week for dinner!

I can bring guests with me to the gym for free...at least 3 times a week I ask her if she wants to come to either take a class or just walk on the elliptical - the answer is NO.

Well if you are going to eat fatty foods and not workout then guess what you aren't going to lose weight and you are going to stay fat!

Sometimes it takes real motivation to actually try to change things. People get overwhelmed.

They know they are fat yet they can't seem to be able to do anything about it.

1% sweat
99% motivation

Yup. But I have found that with "complainers" in my life, if it's not the weight, it's 20 other things they complain about, yet they do nothing to improve their situation.

I used to have a friend who would often complain about being fat WHILE eating a snickers bar or ice cream. As the listener, I felt badly that she was so down on herself, but the only person who can change your body is you - I couldn't force her to work out or be her food police, and at the time she was clearly unwilling to do anything proactive herself to change the situation, so it got old to hear about it all the time.

I do sympathize a bit more with people who complain that although they're trying X, Y, and Z, the weight still isn't coming off... that's got to be frustrating.
