    @mwyvr, are you omniscient? That's me exactly. Thank you for your thoughtful reply. :)

    :smile: my pleasure. I simply envisioned my wife in your situation. She too is a very smart lady working with people she respects and who respect her, and she also goes out of her way to avoid workplace confrontation.

    In the meantime you must know at every level of your being that what you are doing is right for you, is healthy, is good for your relationships and family, is making your future brighter and you less prone to illness and disease, is fun... we could go on and on!

    With those wins firmly in mind let any ill-conceived comments bounce off harmlessly as they should. but if you can, have that goal-centred discussion with them and hopefully the issue will disappear for good.

    It's like you were sitting inside my head, @mwyvr! :) Any confrontation makes me feel terrible. It's just how I'm wired. Being a sensitive soul doesn't always work in my favor.

    I do know what I'm doing is good for me and I love my goals. If she wants to get off of her butt and try I'll gladly give her pointers! I was upfront & brief with how I achieved this "miracle". ;)

    @GingerSka if you do find your co-worker wants motivation and can't use you for that, at the risk of exposing your ID on MFP you could always point her to this thread:

    PHOTO ONLY SUCCESS STORIES!

    That thread brings tears (of joy for all involved) to my eyes!
