Ok........What the heck?

People who work in offices have nothing better to do then to go around and see what everyone else is doing so they can tattle on them. When I worked in an office there were several old biddy busy bodies who made it their job to keep track of how long I was away from my desk. One even went so far as to write down when I left for linch and came back. Mind you when I worked there I got in well before she did and picked up the slack for everyone on my team.

Unless your direct boss has a problem with it ignore her. There will always be people like her no matter where you work. Sorry.

Man, you are so right on the "office worker" disease. This same lady walks by my office door, man, I don't know how many times a day. I call them "drive bys" to see if I'm here, etc. Some people just SUCK!

Which is really funny because the more time they spend walking by your door to check on you, the less time they are spending doing THEIR job lol

PRECISELY!!!!

Who is she to say whether or not other people would feel comfortable in your office. Is she jumping to conclusions? How do you get along with the other people you work with? I know my bosses office is a good size and I wouldn't feel uncomfortable in there at all. But we have a good relationship.


^^ I "feel" like I have a good relationship with the other girls in my office. My BCW (best co-worker - instead of BFF...lol) is a marathoner - so I KNOW she's okay with it! The others are three older ladies that are, yes, overweight and also got mad when I suggested fruit and yogurt for our office meetings (instead of the regular donuts and muffins). So, really, when I think about it - it probably doesn't matter what I do - they will always dislike my actions/suggestions/etc. Oh well.

I think she's jealous that you're so committed to your workout. My coworker and I are both exercising and watching our food to lose weight. We have the same size office space (mine only seems smaller because I do more of the paperwork side, and I'm taller than she is) but she has this app on her phone that you do push ups to, she started it and seeing her do it, encouraged me to start so we take time during the day to do our push ups. We found some ab/backside exercises that can be done in the office and we are planning to bring that into our daily work workout.

That's awesome!!! Yay for supportive co-workers!

Some people are never happy! I have somehow ended up on someone's **list** for unknown reasons. She talks smack behind my back and is generally unpleasant. She had bariatric surgery, and I think it ticks her off that people praise my running and working out and my results and no one compliments her weight loss. Granted, I didn't have near the amount of weight to lose as she did, but people just don't compliment her. That makes me the new bad guy in the office.

Shut your door. Do your workouts and ENJOY the rewards of your hard work. If the Veep doesn't mind, the office manager really can't do much about it!

Well - you SHOULD be complimented on your success! You actually WORKED FOR IT! I'm sorry - I don't want to offend people that have had bariatric surgery - but to me it's the lazy way out! It does nothing to change your "lifestyle" at all. I have a friend that had the lap band and got down to a size 6. 2 years later she is almost back to her original weight before the procedure. It just won't work if you don't change your surroundings, choices, etc. Good for you though - being on someone's list just SUCKS!!
