    I'm with you there - except no one criticizes my eating habits, thank heavens! :grumble:
    I watch my coworkers eat junk (candy bars, soda, Starbuck's, chips, junk) all day & then complain about how tired they are & how they need to start a diet! :huh:
    It really bugs me.

    I work with this idiot who whines and complains all morning that he's hungry, but flat out refuses to eat breakfast. He's also the dumb-*kitten* (can I say that on here?) who tried to tell me that fruit isn't good for me. And then I hear him whine and complain about how he needs to lose weight, but then he goes out and eats like 15 White Castle sliders for lunch. THEN, I have to listen to him complain about how crappy he feels for the rest of the afternoon :explode: He makes fun of me and another co-worker because we both eat five smaller meals throughout the day, so it always looks like we're eating (um... duh, but at least you don't hear me complaining that I'm hungry!) I don't even sit right next to him, he's just so darn LOUD! If I were a complete idiot, I think I might have at least the common sense to keep that fact to myself :laugh:

    OK, I'm done now too :bigsmile:

    Man can I relate to this. I work nights and I constantly hear that you can't lose weight or eat healthy when you work nights.

    I have a few coworkers that constantly talk about needing to lose weight yet if you could see what they bring in or order in IT WOULD MAKE YOU SCREAM

    I look at it like this, they are too damn lazy to do anything about how the look and feel. They would rather knock you down, make fun of you and critize everything about you that is good than to look at themselves.

    I have lost 29 pounds to date and work nights along with eating fairly well. I still have my days where I want and have a whopper or some ColdStone Creamery Ice Cream. The key is I learned that moderation is the key. Low Fat, Low Carb, Sugar Free isn't always good for you and that you are what you eat.

    I can relate.. I sit with my little salad with chicken at work while all these (much larger than me) girls are eating double quarter pounders and crying about how overweight they are.

    It's annoying... very.

    I understand being upset if you fall off the wagon ( like an ice cream cone), but stuffing your face with a cheeseburger (or two and fries) and then crying about it is a bit much.

    by the way... killer body. :smile:

    Well...if they are stuffing their faces with junk and look like they should be floating over the Macy's Day Parade, that's when you say "Look at me, now look at you. Mine must be working."

    To heck with them. Hold your head high and be proud of your results. You've come a long way.

    Thanks, funny how we go through so much crap when we realize that we aren't leading healthy lifestyles and change it. It seems all the drinking and eating buddies feel left out and lash out so violently instead of make the change themselves. Since I started this new way of life I have noticed a decrease in so call friends. Wow who would have thought that leading a healthy life style would cause you to loose weight and friends.

    How about the family members with the "you're too skinny", "you look sick" or "you need to eat?" Hey, just because they don't have the discipline doesn't mean they have to rain on my parade.

    Best thing to do is smile and be happy with yourself, you look great! Someday you will motivate someone without even trying by setting a healthy example. :flowerforyou: :bigsmile:

    We must be mentally connected :laugh: :laugh: because I have heard all of those along with "you don't need to lose weight because you look great the way you are" as your belly hangs over, you have three sets of love handles top and bottom, four chins and two knees :laugh: :laugh: :sad: :sad: :laugh: but they tell you how great you look.

    try working in a building where at least 6 people have had gastric by pass surgery. I know a couple have done it for heath reasons but the others just wanted that quick fix. I worked hard for my results and I have given up a lot. I hate to see them snacking on coffee cakes donuts and bagels just about every morning. I'm happy to say that I always miss the weekly McDonald's breakfast run.

    Thank you MFP

    I can relate with the working at night thing. I work in a resturant which is evenworse since im aloud to eat for FREE unlimited bread, soups and salads (we dont have any lowfat dressings) and on fridays we do a buffet with tons of super yummy food and thats all free as well. So you can imagine how hard it is to control myself around all that amazing food. I have a fewgirls Iwork with that are always complaining about their weight as well but as they are they are stuffing their faces with bread and butter. Its so super annoying for real.

    Wow I don't envy you right now:noway: I work in a dispatch center and I'm alone after 11 pm. If I don't bring in I don't eat it. Some nights that sucks because I don't bring enough to eat but I would rather not have enough than to work at night with access to free food for the entire shift. You have will power!!

    :flowerforyou:
    I can only eat what I bring, too, but the others order out or have something delivered or just bring junk. It's amazing.
    When I'm feeling munchie I come here & read, look at people's profiles, look at before & after photos & log my lunch.
    It really helps.

    OK, I'm done now too :bigsmile:

    I have people constantly commenting about how I always eat. I always eat breakfast at 5a so I have a snack between 8-9a. This morning some one was hassling me about eating "already." Why do people think they have a right to comment on other people's eating habits?? I don't point out that 6 pieces of bacon as a "snack" is going to kill them. I even work with a woman that eats as much as me but is 4 inch shorter and always complains that she's a petite 4 instead of a petite 2 as though I should have sympathy for her plight when I have to really concious of what I eat to maintain a healthy BMU. It is SO frustrating.
    OK I'm done with my rant. I feel better.

    I work in a call center of 800 people and almost everyone here is overweight. We sit all day. We even have a gym built in our call center and it's awesome and free and most people don't use it. People think that weight loss with just happen and they don't have to work for it. NO WAY, for those of us that can't just "eat whatever we want and stay tiny", we have to work for it HARD.
    This might sound terrible but when I am craving something bad for me, I go to the cafeteria at work and I watch people eat food that's bad for them and I look at heavy people struggling to do walk around and that helps remind me why I am doing this and why I'm using this website.
    Or I just go on here and read what's in the community posts. That's really good motivation. I have this site saved as a link on my computer at work. the second I want candy I can click once and be on this site.
