At work today for lunch the crew organised a sausage sizzle which I didn't mind...I love 'em and knew it was going to be happening so organised to be somewhere else for lunch. But when the rest of the crew found out they asked why? When I said I had weigh in at weight watchers tomorrow they said are you STILL dieting? Haven't you lost enough weight now? You're thin enough now, you don't need to lose any more !!
I just replies wellllll the world health organization wouldn't agree with you....and left it at that!!
BUT why do they do it....they didn't let it rest all day??
Hi Jen,
ReplyDeleteIts a shame that your workmates behaved like that, I know we all dream of a workplace where they are not all JEALOUS that you have lost weight, and feel guilty about themselves not being able to do it!!! I know that sometimes, my workplace is not the most encouraging, but I guess we have to let it go, and get on with our mission!

I get it all the time even though I have been gaining over the last 6 months "don't you loose any more weight you're getting too skinny" I dont tell anyone anymore and I "accidentally" forget that friday BBQ is on eat my home made lunch then chip in and cook (it is expected that everyone helps out since the money goes towards the xmas drinks)
ReplyDeleteJen most of the time is jealously....they are so concerned that you will show them up..are some of them overweight? are they the ones making that comment..well you said the right thing....good for you darl you shouldnt have to defend yourself...

Don't know what it was with them, only one is overweight and she is not the worst, the worst were the males who are NOT in any way overweight...maybe it is concern I dont know but it DID "peev" me off!!

Its so silly isn't it!
ReplyDeleteWell done on giving such a great reply to, and I know a lot of people have been giving the advice that if asked "why are you still dieting", just reply "i'm eating healthy to stay healthy, and weighing in regularily keeps me accountable", and that takes the emphasis off losing weight (cos they are worried about that) and onto being healthy, which everyone should strive for!
anyway, you have nothing to worry about cos you are not looking to skinny, you are looking great and you are so close, and you can do it!
Go JEN Go!!
mwah!
