To tell the truth, when she isn't busy pissin' me off, I actually feel sorry for her. Because I know, I think we all know how difficult this battle with weight lost can be. Lord knows I still have a long ways to go myself and am nowhere out of the woods yet.
I know she really wants to lose weight. I've watched her spend her money on EDiets and WW. She even started having her food delivered to her through EDiets, but each time she falls off plan.
She always laughs it off one way or another, but I know she hurts inside when her efforts don't work out as planned.
I watch her struggle to eat those little boxed meals, and choking down those V8 drinks. On top of that, with us being in the travel industry we ALWAYS have vendors/hotels bringing us, mailing us, goodies ALL the time. It's hard enough just dealing with everyday scenerio, let alone free food.
It's hard when there is always FREE lunches and snacks sitting in the lunch room and if that's not hard enough then most of her friends here are always bringing her or coaching her into eating something or buying her something. Yep her staff kisses up to her Big Time, but unfortunately they bring more pain for her than good as she struggles to stay on her chosen plan.
One time she even lashed out at them "you guys won't even let me try. You see I'm trying to do this damn EDiets thing" I've told her several times about LC'ing, but with both of us being in upper management, having egos to the hilt, and generally just not caring for the other much anyway, she doesn't want to do anything I"M doing. She wants to do it her own way...she's stubborn...just like me.
So yeah, when she isn't pissin' me off...I do feel for her. I know her pain all to well.
