Things have slowed so he wants to get in on my meal prep action to create some diet consistency and more predictable weight loss. Fine by me, so I just doubled-ish what I make for myself this week, but made sure it was more food he likes than just stuff I like. So two days in a row he totally left his lunch at home and I'm super grumpy because it took me a lot longer to do meal prep this week and he's basically wasting my hard work. *sigh* He can make his own damn lunch.
This would irritate me too.
I have a similar issue with my son. One week I will make a certain amount of stuff and he eats half of it leaving me short. So the next week I make extra and he doesnt eat at home all week and stuff gets thrown out...I cannot win!2 -

Plate in the Bathroom Girl was in there washing a knife a few minutes ago. I bit my tongue to keep from telling her how gross I find that. I was actually mad at an insurance rep and I didn't want to take out on her.
can you send an anonymous note? Type written and slipped into her top desk drawer?
"We know you eat in the bathroom... We are watching you.... MUAHAHAHAHA"
LOL!
I wonder why she feels the need to clean the utensils in the bathroom too? Isn't there a community break room with a sink?
Just read that Mel addressed this.
Actually there are three community break rooms on my floor. She is simply not willing to walk that far for the sake of hygiene.
But if she has an office, why not just eat in there? This is so weird.1 -
I am a hot mess. Throw darts at me and you will hit both literal and figurative scar tissue.
My dad didn't believe in things like hospitals and physical therapy for injuries, so by the time I got actual medical help I was:
(1) an adult,
(2) obese, on the edge of morbidly obese,
(3) malnourished (somehow),
(3) infertile,
(4) suicidally and perpetually depressed, and
(5) half-crippled from a triple-twist (plus neck hump, plus neck vertebrae aligned *backwards*, somehow) in my spinal column.
Fortunately, my mom recognized #4 for the ticking time bomb it was and got me a therapist as a teenager. But it was the last one that did me in. Otherwise I might have just kept going like I was going. I have no idea where I'd be now if that happened.
By the time I realized there was something terrible wrong with my spine, I'd already lost 2/3 of the weight I needed to lose by sheer effort of will and exercising until near-unconsciousness. (Don't do that, by the way. The therapist and I have had words over this and what does and doesn't constitute anorexia.) And by "realized there was something wrong with my spine," I mean, "in so much pain at 25 that I could only take distances 10 steps at a time before sitting down."
It's been four years since then. I've lost a lot of weight and I'm not obese anymore, or malnourished (turns out my childhood diet of meat, cheese and little else wasn't good for me--who knew?), or even infertile--I got into a good OBGYN and an orthopedist who messes with my hips now and then. When I was nine, my abdomen (stomach, uterus, cervix, ovaries) was one long interconnected line of scar tissue. (It hurt. All the time. Also, it bled out a lot.) My stomach got better once I started eating better; the scarring's getting better with hormones and exercises (and other, nastier treatments, but hey...results). The hump came out of my neck last week, and my neck's going the right way again, so I only have---er---three other curves to tackle. *sigh* I walk, but I can't run. I can do karate twice a week, though, so it's getting better. It just feels so damn slow.
I sometimes daydream about having parents who'd actually take their child with broken bones to the hospital and physical therapy and whatnot, but that was not my life. (I didn't realize it at the time, but mom was as bad off as I was--she broke her neck(!) and my dad didn't even take her in.) I'm glad I don't talk to my dad or his family anymore.
I have an incredibly long way to go. Days like today feel like a death march. But hey, here's me. Marching.
Being Canadian, I must ask. Assuming you are American, was this an insurance/money issue that prevented medical care?0 -

I think she eats in her office then brings the dishes to the bathroom to wash. And it makes me NUTS!!!0 -

It's still bruised now. But it looks tons better.1 -
I just took OFFICE DOG for a walk... The sod in the office complex felt so wonderful on my feet!!! I will re-shoe when I leave at 430
Where do you work? I wish I could bring a dog to work. If I could I would have a dog! I'd get to spend some time with him or her...
I am an insurance agent. Our agency is small and we are extremely family oriented. The agency owner brings her 4 month old a couple days a week. Office dog is the BABY of another agent. She is the most CHILL dog!! She will just lay in her bed most days. She is so well behaved that I don't even leash her when we go to the mail box.
My dog can't come. He is too protective and barks too much when clients come in. I have tried
Our clients LOVE office dog - aka Harley Quinn. I can't wait for
her to come in today... I bought her a new shirt over the weekend... I guess I'm office grandma

Wow. So this weekend was completely out of control. :noway:
Our new air conditioner is supposed to be installed today. Hopefully once that stress is over, I can get back on track.3 -

My old job involved a couple of elderly Pekingese dogs. They were such mad, weird little things. They belonged to the boss and part of the interview involved checking the dogs liked me!
One would scrape her face along walls, leaving a 3 inch high gross smear along the skirting boards. They had funny little personalities but I wouldn't want one to keep!

I absolutely must get myself together. I have not logged food for at least a week and I have not cared. I know dinner will be crap tonight because I am going to a 5pm meeting and will be there until at least 7. I am moving Tamara back to school on Saturday so I am planning to keep exercising and then reset my good on Sunday.3

You've got this, Mel. Control what you can, eat at maintenance until then and give yourself a fresh start.0 -

Kinda, but not really. Just peel and slice cucumbers and put them in half water/half vinegar over night. Actual pickles have dill, etc, added. There's a different taste.2 -

Oh ok, just different juices. Interesting.0 -
2 weeks until the wedding and I haven't lost a single lb in about 2 months. It has come to a grinding halt. I can only put it down to stress, nothing else has changed, not eating habits, not exercise. As long as I don't gain, I'll still fit into my dress.

Having accepted none of my pre-children clothes suit me any more (even though I can technically fit into them, I'm just a different shape now) I didn't have anything comfortable that I could feed in and survive the heatwave. So I had a couple of panic bought tops that did the job, but I didn't actually like them. I finally got one I quite like, don't feel self conscious in and can just about feed in. Hurrah! Hopefully the start of getting out of my crappy mummy style rut.7

Apparently, I am going to be responsible for 3.5 employees, not including myself starting next week. (The half is a cashier who posts payments for our occupational medicine clinics.) I didn't ask to be the team coordinator. I don't want to be the team coordinator. Therefore, after venting to my husband, I walked into my managers office and said, "if Cindy's going to make me responsible for 3.5 other people, she's going to have to give me a raise."
In other news, the Joint Commission is gone and we passed! Their accreditation team leader said, "Without hesitation, I would bring anyone on my family here.". I will take that from them any day.5 -

I want to give you a hug for the first bit - because I wouldn't want to be responsible for 3.5 people either. But good for you saying you want a raise, and damn right you should!
And I want to give the thumbs up for the Joint Commission pass! And the fact they said they would bring there family there is fantastic! Well done you!

Joint Commission is a very definite hospital wide effort and I am glad to see them out the door. They made like 4 suggestions for improvement, but nothing major. Last year, they closed the Outpatient Surgery Center of a hospital in KY (they have fixed their issues and so shall remain nameless) and we ended up fitting several of their patients into our surgery schedule. I never thought we wouldn't pass, but you never know what issues they may be looking for so we are feeling blessed that we didn't get any actual dings, just these are new ideas that you may want to try. (And some of those were about disaster protocols that hospitals have seen work or not in Nice and London, so thanks to my European friends and I am sorry you've had to learn by experience.)3 -
My dad had to do Joint Commission. He worked at the local hospital for 39 years. It was always full-on drama. I felt bad for him (and you)!1
