Work functions: eating and drinking

[mountaingirl61 4]

I'm keeping my gastric bypass on the down low with coworkers. I seem to be getting unwanted attention about how little I'm eating and not drinking alcohol. Anybody have similar issues and have tips for diffusing comments.

Making a lifestyle change, getting in shape and eating healthier always works, then when they see the weight coming off they will know why. Which isn't a lie! Drinking is always easy because when your trying to lose weight alcohol is unwanted calories that have no benefits. Good luck!

I'd just laugh and say either:

1. I gave boozin' up for Lent.

2. I'm givin' my livah time off for poor behavior.

I wouldn't comment about the small food consumption unless pressed to do so.

Giving up for Octsober do you have that there? Turn it back on them and raise some money for charity

In the early days people would make comments and I would be well that's how I'm losing weight eating less of everything and giving up alcohol!! Now i eat almost as much as most peeps.

The comments start to get tiresome but imagine if they knew u had surgery then to would be - will that make u crap yourself? Or do u wish u could eat this cake?

It will pass people get over it and eventually u can eat more.

Just making lifestyle changes to get healthy!

People don't care much really. Don't over think
