SABOTAGED BY COWORKER!

CorvusCorax77

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!

ETA: Sarcasm smiley face.

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??

Heh.

The higher the pressure, the more it amuses me to say no.

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".

LMAO That is hilarious! I love cows.

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.
