What foods do your co-workers eat?

My co worker eats pretty bad stuff on a daily, I have watched her gain like 25lbs in the past year and a half. When she first started working with me she would make rude comments that I eat like a stupid rabbit. Then her doctor gave her bad lab results and she wanted to change her eating habits. I offered to help, it lasted a week and she quit. She often makes comments that she needs to lose weight! I at this point no longer give a rats about her weight, health or body because she can give a rats about herself. My goal is to lose and maintain and he healthy. I no longer take her comments to heart I just look at her and think, you are total motivation for me of what not to eat..sounds rude but its true.

I have a couplle of those too!!! I love how they make comments about me dissappearing and saying they need to do the same and when you offer the help they make some excuse on why they can't.....whatever!!!

I work in a factory with mainly men, a lot of single men, vending machines and only 30 min for lunch. You can imagine what it looks like most days.

Most bring standard lunches from home (i.e. sandwiches, pasta, frozen dinners, etc.) and a couple of times a week or less they'll order out.

I don't think I've ever looked at a person's food choice (let along a co-worker) and "felt bad" for them because of it being high calorie or "unhealthy". But to each his own.

Mine eats roughly oooh, erm, ZERO! Then calls me out for non stop eating if I dare have a wrap and an apple in the same 8 hour period.

She's over weight, eats nothing (at work at least) and complains that she should be a stick woman.

I consider myself really lucky because at my office, we have a kitchen, literally in the middle of the office, equipped with a fully stocked fridge, goodies everywhere (both healthy and not so healthy), stocked pantry, fruits galore, and a chef that makes breakfast and lunch for us every day. She really does try to accommodate everyone. I'm the youngest here so she kind of took the role of my second mom (we're super close!). When she's coming up with the menu for the week, she'll ask me what I feel like having and be conscious of my healthier eating habits. She normally uses organic products and cooks things in a healthy fashion so I don't have to try hard to stay under control.

I want to know where you work?! And are they hiring??

We have a small office here, and all of us with the exception of one lady bring our own lunches. I usually bring in either left overs from dinner the night before, or will make myself a sandwich and have veggies and fruit as a side- and usually one sweet thing for dessert.

The others do the same, sandwiches or left overs- some bring in smartones or healthy choice frozen meals. One goes out everyday for lunch- I am not sure what it is that she gets, but she tells me all the time that she needs to get back to the gym. I offer to have her go with me during lunch, but so far she turns me down. One day she will change her mind!

I think we as a whole eat fairly healthy- most of the women are on Weight Watchers and go for walks during their lunch hour so its nice to feel supported.

I do get made fun of occasionally because when we do have the random meal ordered in, I will usually only eat the veggies that are supplied and or a salad- so people will say "oh, sarah's full, she just ate some cucumbers" which is somewhat annoying.

cake. . . every damn day there is cake SOMEWHERE in this office

This is my office to a T! Someone always has something they brought in! The flip side is that if I ever have leftover sweets or candy (post-holidays usually) I can leave it in the lunchroom and it will disappear before 11:00 a.m.

I have no idea what my co-workers eat because I'm too busy worrying about my own life.

That's too bad. I care about the garbage they are eating and want them to be healthy. I work in a small office with just 2 other girls and we actually like each other.

I kind of look at it this way - I can want in one hand and *kitten* in the other... but at the end of the day, my CWs are going to have to want to be healthy on their own.

There are 15 of us in our office and apart from 2 of us the others eat pretty unhealthily.
They often bring food from home to share, which is mostly curry and usually swimming in oil. Sometimes pasta, but with a cream based sauce or pizza or instant noodles. However, these are actually the good days.
Within walking distance of us we have (in order of closeness lol) ................ our students canteen which sells toasted sandwiches, pies etc, what we call a cafe which sells pretty much the same but also crisps, sweets etc. KFC, a fish and chip shop which also sells curries, samoosas etc. A pizza place, ANOTHER curry shop, a burger shop, chinese, ANOTHER burger shop and an italian place! This is all within about 500m either way of my office. So, any day at least half of the staff eat from one of those places. Favourite meal is............ fries on a roti with curry gravy and cheese! Or the same combination with roll instead of roti. This is from a girl who is vegetarian because "meat is just so unhealthy!"
That is the food, there is also cake, biscuits, coke, crisps, chocolate etc flying around EVERY. FIVE. MINUTES.

I dont comment much, and I must admit that they do not pressure me to eat with them, so I cant complain. The other girl that eats healthily goes to the same dietician as me, so we support each other.

Lol I work at a recording studio in Miami...At the moment, we're not hiring

Several of my coworkers are on that "Medifast" diet, so I always seem them eating some of the prepackaged stuff they buy from them.. never looks that great to me.

Same where I work. It's eaten from a coffe cup & I have been told by the medifasters that "medifast puts somthing in it to make you feel full." hmmm....

Let's make this simple....CRAP!

i work with a guy, he's in his late 40's diabetic and overweight. he will go to any fried chicken restaurant any day of the week. then goes home and his wife usually makes homemade fried chicken fingers, he guzzles coke like its water. i can totaly understand where he is at but all i can do is look at him and ask myself "wow is that what i was like?"
