C: in an annoyed voice..You and your carrots. I'm going to get a Snickers.
M: Trust me, I'd rather be eating a Snickers right now than these carrots.
C: Oh, I know. It's so hard and I really shouldn't I'm already above my high end weight.
M: I'm not really quite sure why I told her, I hadn't really mentioned it to anyone else including the Talker who constantly tells me and who else will listen how fat she is. She's NOT. I started WW 4 weeks ago.
C: What?! That's great! How much weight have you lost?
M: 6 lbs. Not bad but I wish it were more.
C: Great! If I cut out dinner, I'd be back down in no time. I know sometimes I dont even have dinner if I have 2 Snickers.
M: Wow, no I couldn't do that. I need a final meal. I know for me, weekends are the worse for me. Unstructured eating, indulgences, eating out, alcohol...
C: No wonder you haven't lost more!
UUUUHHHHMMMMMMM...beyotch!? Seriously, can you imagine she said that?!
Yes, yes I KNOW its the truth. I'm not denying it but for someone who doesn't know me that long to say that to me. I'm annoyed. Rude much?
Now, I'm determined to pull out strong these last 18 days of October!!!!
Achtung ...
ReplyDeleteYou are not going to like what you are about to read ...so..you have been warned;-)
What is it you are actually complaining about...her eating Snickers ..or you not "being able" to eat ?? You know, you could if you want to ....
Was her reply rude ?? Depends on the culture you come from..it was an honest reply ...did you want her to smile at you and tell you, "oh..it will be FINE ..you will lose weight .." and then smirk behind your back ??
Sorry..this comment is turning into a speech ..but I feel so strongly about honesty being perceived as rudeness ..
You got an honest reply (you didn't thank her for it, did ya ??)
Perception is interesting, by you saying
ReplyDelete"M: Wow, no I couldn't do that. I need a final meal. I know for me, weekends are the worse for me. Unstructured eating, indulgences, eating out, alcohol..."
I read that as finding weekends to be a challenge (I also find weekends a challenge)
In your co-workers answer to that I saw more of an assumption that you did that every weekend.
Plus 6lbs in 4 weeks is a healthy rate of weight loss according to my Doctor at any rate.
Again...perception is very interesting
she's the moron skipping dinner for two snickers. no one rational would think that was the way to go.
ReplyDeletei agree with amy, for someone to skip an entire meal to eat two candy bars is leaning a bit towards major food issues.
ReplyDeletei think the only rude thing she said was when she put down your carrots and the fact that your always eating them! i think your coworker is making these comments because she herself isn't strong enough to put down the snickers! LoL
CONGRATS on the 6 pound weight loss! i agree with cowgirl here. it is a very healthy rate to lose at that rate.
Oh Lord, co-workers are the worst. I used to work with this girl who MAYBE needed to lose like 10 lbs, and she knew I was on WW (and joined for a while herself, but "it didn't work for her"), she'd extoll the virtues of eating healthy all the time, claimed she didn't eat red meat, etc..
ReplyDeleteAnd then one day, I unexpectedly came back from lunch early, and there she was at her desk, heffering down a quarter pounder with cheese, supersized fries, supersized coke, and a McFlurry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did not say a word, but inside, I was going apeshit. Litte faker.
I wont even get into what she ate for lunch today...
ReplyDeleteHowever, another coworkerd made a snotty remark..."isn't that the healthiest!"
seriously, is it any of their frickin business what another person eats!
