How DARE you eat healthy. Basically that is their problem because deep down they know YOU are right to eat better, but they are justifying their own feelings.
HIGH FIVE for sticking to your meal!!!!!!!!
Sorry it makes you feel bad though !
Yeah! Don't let the jealous haters get you down!
Another thing you could do is go ahead and accept a slice of pizza. And then act like you're going to take a bite and throw it as hard as you can against the wall. Then glare at everyone and say "THAT'S WHAT I THINK OF YOUR DEVIL FOOD!! BURN!! ALL OF YOU!!! BUUUUURRRRRRNNNNN!!!!!!"
And slowly back out of the room making squinty eye contact with each person.
Agreed!!! And make your eye twitch alittle as you back away!!!0 -
Not my birthday, my boss's.
Why can't "no thank you" be enough? Twelve people in the room want to stand and discuss why the girl who brings healthy lunch every day doesn't want pizza and ice cream. It's embarrassing.
I've clearly lost a lot of weight over the last four months. About 20 lbs. Many people have commented. Why is it so crazy that I don't want pizza?
Because if you dont act like everyone else you are clearly against them. I used to have the same problem until I actually started acting like a 'Richard' they accused me of being. Right after that, they stopped asking me to eat their devil foodz!
The best part is, after their attempt to sabotage you fails soon you will see 1/2 of them starting to bring in or stock the company fridge with the same things you are eating in their attempt to become more like you (which is what they really wished in the first place).
I don't understand the first part of your comment. By Richard, do you mean Richard III? So you started locking their children in a tower and killing them?
...so sad. he only wanted a horse. :huh:0 -

Because some people are just nosey nellies. Don't feed the drama monster. Keep it simple and polite, and move on. Eventually they will get bored and move on too.0 -

They probably all talked about you after you left the room, too. They were probably discussing how you think you're better than everyone else, but it was really because they are jealous because you are the only one with any willpower.
How can you even work there now? You should quit. Not officially, though. Just stop going. That'll make them think.
this.
there's no going back now.
maybe send them a farewell cake.0 -

The cake should have fat people made of icing on it, and you should have the bakery write "This is you" with arrows pointing to the fat icing people.0 -
Ah yes the magic of being lactose intolerant... People without food allergies don't really understand that I'm not being rude refusing chocolate chip cookies, pizza, yogurt smoothies, ice cream, etc., I just really don't want to spend hours on the toilet with my face in the wastebasket. Even if it tastes good going down, I can assure you coming up it is awful, and gastrointestinal distress makes me want to die.0

This thread is funny :-)
I think we are all confronted with this type of situation at work.
Personally, I take some of the cake or whatever is going around, if I really have to because everyone is looking.
Then I let it sit in my plate a while...
then throw it away or put it down in a corner discreetly.
That way, noone comments.0 -
Offices are weird places. If you 'eat healthy' and skip the pizza and cake, you are a health nut that never treats themselves and looks down on those that do. If you indulge, you would probably get the same type of crap, only in reverse. "Oh, I can't believe you are eating pizza and cake. I thought you ate healthy".
So.Much.Truth. :flowerforyou:0 -

and it should be made to look similar to "hell" because they are eating devil foodz...0 -
What kind of cake was it?
*Evil Maniacal Laugh* We really are here for the same things, I guess.0 -

A bit long winded but...."jealous" answer if I ever saw one.0 -
Since I have very little dignity, I usually say, "OH! YOU DON'T WANT ME TO EAT THAT! YOU WON'T WANT TO WALK IN *THAT* VAPOR TRAIL!"
Haven't had a problem since.
Naw, I'm lying, but it sounded good!0 -

How DARE you eat healthy. Basically that is their problem because deep down they know YOU are right to eat better, but they are justifying their own feelings.
HIGH FIVE for sticking to your meal!!!!!!!!
Sorry it makes you feel bad though !
Really, THAT is what is wrong with America? Out of the thousands upon thousands of possible problems it faces, THAT is what is wrong? Really?0 -
look, it's really simple OP... the next time some co-worker offers you cake, just say, "i'll eat your cake, but only if you pay me $50". they'll laugh. you'll laugh. then they'll say, "are you serious?". you say, "yes. deadly serious". they'll walk away with their cake.
pretty soon, your co-workers will start to avoid you.
then, they'll start talking about you behind your back.
next, you'll start getting blamed when things go wrong.
eventually, you'll start getting poor performance reviews with "does not get along with co-workers" highlighted for easy HR reference.
finally, you'll be terminated...
...and you'll never have to worry about those co-workers offering you food ever again.
problem solved forever.
OR they'll give her the $50 and stand in a circle takign bets while she eats the cake. ANd she'll walk away with a belly full of cake and $50 richer. Man, I want to go get a job now. THis is sounding fun, filling, and lucrative.0 -

I know, you though it was the deficit, or the insurance right? WRONG! It's the jealous haterz and the food at work culture.0 -

and then stop halfway to your desk and lie down in the fetal position.0 -
