It has taken me 3 months to lose 30 pounds. My surgery was a band to sleeve revision. Yes my weight loss has been slow but it's been consistent with no stalls. One of my co- workers had the nerve to shove a before & after picture of her cousin who had weight loss surgery the same time as me and had already lost 65 pounds and began to tell me that I'm not dieting correctly!! Never mind that her cousin is 15 years younger than me & was heavier than me in her before picture. Plus, she wasn't sure if she had bypass or the sleeve. Sorry for such a long rant but boy did she piss me off!!

I would have done my favorite response: Slowly raise your head up and look into their eyes. Tear up a bit. Ask in a small voice "Why would you say something like that?" Put head back down and don't say another word or look up. This really shuts 'em up except when they are stammering out an apology or lame explanation.

That's nice. I'd just tell 'em to suck my big ole' booty!

I would have told them the same thing, except 180 degrees around the corner.

The question is...are YOU happy with your success? If so, BEAM with PRIDE, SMILE with JOY, and be on you MERRY way!!! You don't answer to anyone BUT YOU. Sometimes, when you just walk away with that SMUG, SELF-SATISFIED way about you, it is MORE THAN ENOUGH, because it leaves them wondering....."HEY! Maybe she IS happy with who she is, and doesn't NEED my input". Maybe not, but worth a try....

I'm happy and realized that she is just one of those coworkers that you can't discuss this with. So now I keep our conversations work related
