    LOL Just let him know that just because he is skinny doesn't mean he HAS to eat poo.
  • Hi Jenny, I can understand how annoying that is. I was reading an experience about a young lady that was thin most of her life, she ate pizza, hamburgers etc... and remained thin as a rail and was quite healthy, however, when her family kept feeding her head with if you don't stop eating like that you will gain weight, she actually started gaining weight because she started believing them. I know many of us know people that eat everything underneath the sun and don't gain a pound I have a cousin like that. It's because they never think that food makes them fat. Its not food, food is just a tool we use to give us energy and help our bodies to obtain the nutrients it needs. When food is used in the correct context for our bodies technically we can eat anything we want and never gain weight. Unfortunately, the diet industry thrives off people believing that they are fat so that they can make money off every diet known to man when moderation and movement is the key. Back in the day people worked in the fields after a big meal now a days we site behind computers to get things done. It's just about changing our thinking and using our tool which is food and our bodies in the correct manner. Our thinking has been misguided by money hungry corporations and the medical industry that's why we always think we need to lose weight instead all we really need to do is use our tools better. Just be thankful that you are working on your tool and ignore his rants because you cannot do bad to others without it coming back to you just as you have delt it out. Take care. Stay motivated and mentally healthy.

    I have one of those co-workers. He isn't as bad as yours but he thinks he knows why water is wet. We will keep you going in the right direction..he can keep his burger king and unhealthy ways.
  • send him a message from www.annoyingcoworker.com Funny website!! you will find something suitable!!!
  • I have an aquintance that drinks heavily and lost weight basically consuming alchohol and eating very little. It works for weight loss but the liver damage and etc will come home to roost. I wanted to maintain a lifestyle that is going to be paying dividends throughout my life . There is something very nice about knowing that you are taking care of your body. also I have noticed a general sense of welness that is also emotional.

    I deal with this at my work ALL the time!! I always get comments about how I eat so healthy and that I should enjoy a cheeseburger once in a while (which I do, thank you very much), but these comments come from the people who order out EVERY single day: pizza, chinese food, Burger King, etc, and then complain about how AWFUL they feel after lunch and how they don't understand how they've gained 50 lbs in the past 6 months. Really?? I just ignore them and shake my head.

    Do we work together? Hm. Sounds like the butt I work with....

    Me to, I work with a but hole also.

    Guess what I did ? My coworker is tall and thin but also skinny fat. He takes pride in being slim and brags about wearing a size 34 in pants. Anyway I had my BF device with me at work the other day . I asked him to try it out because I wanted to see how accurate it was. My BF is 22 %. His BF was 20%. He went on line and found out that 20% is pretty high for a man and now he is freaking out!! LOL !!
    I suggested he lift weights.

    Just know that what you have taken on is so much bigger than he is and that at some point in life he may not always be able to eat this way, life has crazy little ways of catching up to you when you least expect it and it will come back to bite him in his maybe not so skinny tush..... you are doing a great job and it seems to be eating at him jst a little bite by bite...

    my coworkers just talk about it behind my back...or question the girl I work the closest with (we eat lunch together every day). Their poor little heads almost exploded when I stopped eating in the break room with all of them....wonder why, when everything i eat gets analyzed. Now they just assume I dont eat.
  • Maybe he's related to Rick Santorum. What a boob.


    LOL
  • I would say,"well I can always lose weight, but you will always be an a-- hole" or you can say, "well I can always loose weight but you will always be ugly because ugly is to the bone!"

    Did you just use the word "analyzed?" Didn't you learn anything from the thread that just got shut down?!?!? LOL! Sorry, couldn't resist! :D

    Why do people feel like they can comment on your weight so freely like that? It is so rude!

    Individuals like that have no other option than to be envious of the progress you're making. I bet its pure jealousy! SMH.

    Keep up the good work and don't let his snide remarks stop your drive to success!

    Now THAT is funny!
  • Wow! Beyond rude! What makes people think they can just comment on something that is none of their business? Even if he is thinking it, why on Earth does he feel the need to say it?
  • YUK what a creature! how ignorent can someone be
