in Chit-Chat
I TOLD my coworker that I'm trying to get in shape and then she organizes food parties in the office. I'm so angry. I know she is trying to sabotage me! She organized a juice party today and made everyone bring in fruits and veggies. That's nothing but carbs and sugars!!!!! I had to bring in a lunch with some protein just so I could hit my macros!

    Bring in your fruits and veggies and eat them whole?

    Edit: My sarcasm detector has been broken lately. :frown:

    Those things cause your insulin to spike, leaving you hungry later. She's probably just jealous.

    If someone else offers you food you only have one choice. Eat it all!

    Maybe remind her that those special food days will not help with our goals and politely ask her to count you out from now on. Or bring in healthy options and share your new lifestyle with your coworkers.

    Pretty sure she didn't hold a gun to your head and say "look, we are doing the juice bar." Highly doubt she also head guns to your co-workers heads and MADE them bring stuff.

    That's like me getting mad at people at work for eating cookies because I'm gluten intolerant. They are ruining my life! They are trying to make me cheat on my diet /sarcasm

    Just ignore your coworkers and do what you need to do - I know lots of people who do it.

    She uses HIGH PRESSURE tactics! Sign up sheets that she constantly sends around in mass emails with names of who signed up saying "IF YOU HAVEN'T SIGNED UP TO BRING IN FRUIT, PLEASE DO BY SUCH AND SUCH A DATE"...so then everyone sees I'm the only person who hasn't signed up...

    crap. I have to go buy some high sugar crappy apples with NO PROTEIN now :(

    Unless she is forcing you to participate she's not sabotaging you. I don't expect my coworkers to change their lifestyles because I'm changing mine. Just don't participate when she organizes??

    So you told her that you were trying to get healthy;
    she organized a party with healthy foods
    & now you're mad because the foods brought weren't the kinds that you wanted?

    That co-worker is a good friend. She was trying to support you by getting everyone to rally around & support your goals in a fun way.
    When I told some of my friends I'm eating healthier I get attitude or they invite me to bbq's and dinners where all they do is pig out.

    I was wholly expecting you to say "I told my co-worker I was getting healthier & she injected all of my celery sticks with butter".

    Wow, seriously? Fruits and veggies. My God, she should be shot. Here's a thought, why don't you organize a big ol' meat party. Throw down on that wench.

    You know what goes well with fruit?

    Cheese.

    And it has protein.

    Bring cheddar. Ruin her day.

    Pretty sure the OP was being sarcastic, but not 100% positive?

    If so, well played, my hat is off to you :drinker:

    If not .... save an orange for me! Heck I'll eat all of them, I love those damn things

    OP, you don't need to worry about protein if it's a juice party! That should take care of your muscles.

    I know this is a joke, but in case it's not last time I checked I can fit juice into my macros, bring some protein bars and nuts to up your protein.

    But I LOVE to eat in front of ppl. They see me lookin so fit and eating what everyone else does so it shows them you can invite fitness people to events, were still fun and we eat and it shows them if you work out and eat well you can still have these things.

    So?

    We used to have things like that where I worked and I never signed up. I couldn't care less if people saw that I wasn't bringing any thing. Not only that but I never participated and ate the crap that was brought in. Mostly because it was fattening garbage and also because I don't know what my co-workers houses look like and based on the way they would let things explode in the microwave and not clean up AND how nasty their cubicles were I felt pretty good about not eating their food.

    And I think you're overreacting. Like someone stated: You told her you were eating healthy and she organized a FRUIT and VEGGIE party.

    OH. The HORROR!

    Bring in veggies like celery and lettuce. They can be juiced too. For alot of ppl they consider juice to be healthy, so maybe she is trying to help.
    And when she want everyone to bring in cake, bring in a sugar free courgette/ zuchini cake, or chocolate beetroot. ( or a cake of soap if you really want to get out of being asked)
    Make it a healthy version, to show ppl that just because you are being healthy doesn't mean u need to misss out on everything and be a spoilsport.
