You're a far better woman than I. I would've had enough the second time round.

It would go something like this;




But then how could I post the daily drama for a good laugh!

She will. You stick to it, don't give her anything to argue with, and keep losing weight, pretty soon she will start avoiding you. If it looks like you are doing better than she is, she will have to. There's no way she will walk up to your desk and (in effect) say, "I'm a tub of lard and you're not, so let me tell you how to change your life."

As long as she thinks you are doing it her way, but doing it better, she will hide in the supply closet. If you let on about low carb, she will even argue with success.

This thread makes me laugh! I can't wait for the next instalment.

I love how she's trying to give you hints and tips on how to improve your diet, and you're just humouring her

OMG!!! You are all so funny!!!
swhite24: You are a better person than I am, I like your way of handling this!





^^ these tickers are so cool!

Hip Hip Hooray!!!!

You are SOOOOO lucky to have her share her vast amounts of wisdom with you!

Poor woman isn't going to know what hit her when you reach your first goal and she's still trying to lose her first five lbs!

Isn't it great to eat well, lose weight, get healthier, and make "holier than thou" WW people envious!!????

So ..... I can relate to your goal, BUT ... when did society become civil???

Thanks for the laughs guys!

Swhite, you just keep doin what you're doin girl!
Keep eating those delicious foods and Not that crap tht WW people are eating!

You guys are too much!

I'm inclined to agree with Baerdric, here.


It's not my place to tell you how to handle her, of course, but I think you've been doing such a GREAT job so far.... listening to her, nodding with sincerity, then doing what you know is right. If I were you I think I'd just keep it up.

Egg white omelets. ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!

This morning I'm eating my usual scrambled eggs with cheese and mushrroms and turkey sausage and of course the same lady comes to my desk and says, "Sheri, I thought we agreed that you were going to switch to egg whites young lady?" ......ok this is not a good day.....Its very close to TOM and the flood gates have opened to release the fury of water weight gain. I know that I havent fallen off plan AND I've been exercising daily.... only to step on the scale this morning and I'm back up 4 frickin' pounds . I'm trying not to get discouraged. Just blame it on nature. But, I really dont want to hear this lady's theories today. I am not in the mood. So, I say to her(Lord forgive me for telling a fib) very dry and short...."Well I tried them and they didnt sit well on my stomache. They made me sick.".........then she says, "Really? I'm sorry to hear that. Well you know I'm just looking out for you. I know you said that you started exercising. I just dont want to see all of your hard work in the gym go to waste because of bad food choices.".......At this point I want to let her have it! tell her everything! but I still bit my tongue and thanked her for being concerned and then got up and acted like I had to go to the copy machine. Lawd Have Mercy!!
(This is going to be a long summer!..lol..My goal is to keep working hard and get her off my back by the end of the summer. )

Aah don't worry about the water weight from mean old TOM. Give it a few days and it'll be back to normal... I've decided to give up worrying about weight for that one week of the month, and just stay on the LC as best as I can.

I can't believe this woman is making a point of commenting on your breakfast EVERY day. Sheesh! Although it's providing all of us with a lot of entertainment, I'll never get over how some people find the time to judge others in this way.

Keep up the good work swight, we're all behind you 100%, even if your co-workers are being a pain in the arse!

Its puzzling to me too....I try to be respectful because she is kind of like the "mother" of the office being the oldest and all. Then I come and I'm the youngest in the office. She is the WW ringleader. I assume she has recruited everyone else and now I'm a new project for her...lol......i'm gonna be a tough cookie........no a tough steak to catch!!..lol...

Yow, did you sign a paper or something making her GOD ALMIGHTY!!!?

I really admire you for sticking with the subtle method under such pressure. I don't know if letting her make "agreements" for you is a good idea in a workplace, but I doubt there is anyway to avoid it without blowing your cover.

You could try, "I looked it up and did you know that egg whites are almost pure protein? And you know how those dangerous high protein diets can make your kidneys asplode..."

Thats what kind of pinched my nerve....I'm thinking, "what!? I never agreed to anything. All I said was thanks for the advice."......She is the oldest here and she is kind of bossy and a little pushy. Everyone just kind of goes along with her. I swear she has everybody in here eating egg whites and oatmeal!!..lol.....i dont know if they are eating it happily or just to shut her up...lol.....

When she does finally get off your back (damn she has a thick skin!!) you'll certainly weight ALOT less
