Yesterday at work, I was cutting up my apple and almonds for my breakfast..

An older lady who I work with says to me:

"Oh look whos dieting AGAIN, youll gain it all back AND more in less than a week"


I dont understand why people would even bother making comments like that?

What do they get out of it!

Grrr, she really upset me, (Im a serial dieter) and this is the FIRST THING IVE ACTUALLY STUCK TO..

AND HAD RESULTS!

:(

    Don't let that get to you. Keep on keepin' on. Show her you can do it and don't lower yourself to be as miserable as she probably is. :)

    Yes, some people do need to.
    But, that's human nature, people can't help themselves when the spot someone eating "healthy" - as though that is a bad thing.
    Ignore the comment, keep up the good work and you show her you can do it!

    *****es like that are just jealous and are meant to be ignored. I don't even kno the hag but I'd like to punch her!!! Do NOT let a negative person like that get u down. Next time just smile. It will eat her that u didn't get upset.

    That was incredibly rude of her! Do not let her get to you! You should be incredibly proud of what you have accomplished thus far. Keep eating those apples and show her what you're made of!

    I would have flipped her the bird and said, "Oh sorry, the diet made me do it."

    I've found that the people who make rude comments and try to bash you? Well, they are insecure about their own weight (or themselves in general) and want to try and bring you down to their level. Misery loves company and all that jazz. Don't let her get to you.

    Maybe she's feeling inadequate, because she can't stick to a program & yo-yo diets. You should introduce her to MFP. Poor thing... :tongue:

    Its all true, you have chosen to take control of your health which is awesome. She is no doubt jealous and cynical of your ability to succeed. Just use her as motivation - prover her wrong, then one day walk up and flex your new awesome body in front of her - BAM! hehehe

    Work people can be insensitive and rude. Don't let that get to you - you can show her she is wrong without words, just by continuing your program. Keep doing what you are doing and smile when you see her knowing she has no power to get to you (that will make the smile come easy).

    You can do this! Look at the results you have already. Feel good about that - no matter what work peoplse say.

    crazy...to me, an apple and almonds is HEALTHY food, not "diet" food :) Sorry you have to deal with such a jerk at work...I like the idea of letting that motivate you though...

    I get a lot of positive comments from people at work. The only bad ones I get is from one particular guy who keeps trying to diet and is frustrated and he gets really pissy with me all the time.

    Get to your goal weight, maintain it for a week and yell "IN YOUR FACE!" to that old lady. :wink:

    I made up my breakfast (Almonds, Apple and yogurt)

    and she says:


    "OH that looks nice! I wouldnt mind some myself!"

    What a b***h. Look at this way when you are loking smokin hot she will be pushing up the daisies (hopefully)

    Screw her, do what youre already doing and put nasty hags like that to the back of your mind.

    Have a great day!!

    My mom would say something like that... I would just roll my eyes because unlike her I am actually doing something about my weight and she is the one sitting on her *kitten* and still complaining. LAME right?

    The ignorance of some people. Flip the negative to positive.
