    I have to watch that I don't bore people to death with my transformation.

    I've a friend who is a former co-worker and we laugh about how it seems the only thing we have in common is work, since that is all we seem to talk about...But, it is just not true, we have other things in common as well. We make a concerted effort to NOT talk about work all the time...writing of which, I need to give her a call... bye now.

    Essentially, you're irritated with her and stopped talking to her because she's consistently & repetitively displaying an annoying behavior...

    I agree, it's too easy when you're so wrapped up in weight loss/exercising/healthier living to go off on unwelcome tangents. I'm guilty but since have learned to STOP DOING THAT because it's annoying as hell (and people will never take your advice anyway, they have to learn for themselves.)

    Weight loss is magic until you find out it's not. While there are general rules, certain plans work better for certain people and fit into their lives. It's up to them to make health important enough to figure out how all the pieces can work together for them so that they're active and doing the right things for their body.

    When I started I didn't talk or mention it to anyone aside from close friends due to having to explain why I can't do the weekly food amount consuming contest or drinking games. As time passed and the results were very obvious people started to ask me, and I still only say watching what I eat and exercising more. But I can see were she came from if she had no outlet to talk about that stuff, lucky for us we got MFP.

    I agree it does get annoying to only talk about my weight loss. There is more to us than just weight loss and exercise. In general I don't bring it up or offer advice. Only if asked. Most have no interest in what you have to say any way, so I tend to keep my mouth shut. That is me....

    I'm in an office of 3:00 chocolate eaters. And, I'll admit, I endulge too, when I have the calories to spare. However, when I don't have the calories to spare, my co-workers seem to try to force feed me whatever they're munching on. So, I'll explain to them, "There are too many calories in that, and I don't want to go over", or something along those lines. And, it irritates the heck out of them!!! Should I just stay quiet and be the antisocial one during munchie hour?
