Hey guys,
Can I ask what you told your co-workers as to why you were on a special diet or why/what surgery you were having?
You see where I work there are a couple of “bitchy” girls who like to analyse your lunch at the table and pass remarks on everything. For example I have my 17 stone self sitting at the lunch table with a salad and they’ll be like ‘is that all your eating?!’ Or if I get up and buy some chocolate from the vending machine they are like ‘good woman!!!’ It rattles me so much, they just love having me there at the fat girl!

To be honest I am dreading having to dodge their constant enquiries. I don’t owe them ANY excuses but I just know what I will be up against -_- ANY advice would be super appreciated :) thank you!

Just smile and nod and be satisfied that you know in your own mind what's going on... you are getting healthy and they really don't deserve or need to know why or how or any of the details.

Don't let their words wound you.

Or, you could just tell them to 'p*ss off'.

My co - workers Aunt had the surgery and was in surgery 2 weeks later because she ate a large slice of pizza.. SOOO.. my co-worker believes 1: I will need emergency surgery at some point. 2: I will fail miserably.. it just motivates me to prove the nay sayers wrong.. I’ve lost 64 lbs since mid January 19.. surgery date was 2/4/19 and I have kept on track which totally blows my mind .. who is his new person anyway!!!
