I agree with this, maybe if you are refering to being on a diet/exercise programme and are quite vocal about it they feel they have the right to comment since they have to listen to you all the time about your diet OP.
This is coming from the woman that has just scoffed a bag of tablet and a McD's (made it large!) lolIf you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you always got!0 -

I know there is a possibility that my colleagues genuinely think they are helping my fitness regime (though some just like being a pain) and I will have a gentle word with them. Any snarky comebacks will be met with "well I hope you never struggle with anything because I'll be just as helpful to you as you are to me". I think some will understand though.

If that's how you feel, just be honest with your colleagues say 'Don't worry, I'm happy to be fat, I'm only concentrating on fitness'.0
