I want to ask people how much money they make when they ask me how much weight I've lost. Then I want to ask them if they plan on making more. Or better yet, I want to say, "Wow I would have never guessed you made so much!"

Then of course I want give them opinions like they shouldn't even try to make a penny more because they look so well off.

Maybe if time allows and I haven't picked up any non verbal cues to tell me to go away I'll bend their ear for a good long time about my attempts, half hearted or not, in regard to how I personally have tried to earn more and failed. Or I'll share horror stories about others I know who did the same thing but died due to a non compliance issue with their attempt to work similarly.

I suppose my point is people ask horrible questions, give unforgivable opinions, and share personal details in regard to weight that they would never ever do about personal statistics, such as income.

It's a number that certainly has impact on how we live, but it's not the beginning and the end of who we are. I'm just being cheeky, but I swear I'm going to do it. :biggrin:

thanks. Hes a really big guy. I think that he sees me as a test subject. OR maybe he is too scared of the surgery and wants me to fail. Either way I wish he would get off my back.

:cursing:I was banded on feb 27th and I haven't had a fill yet. My first fill is april 17th. I can't wait...but obviously I stopped losing about a week and a half ago. I have lost 30 lbs but it has stalled and I am anxiously waiting my fill. Thats the back story

Where- Work

When- Yesterday

Who- Co-worker

This co worker who knows I have had surgery because the people here are freaking big mouths. About once a week he asks me about it even though I don't usually have much to say on the subject. He came up to me yesterday and said "Why is your face broke out?" It caught me off gaurd...I do have a zit on my forward and some spots on my chin. It happens. I didn't know what to say so I just stood there open mouthed

So, he answered himself. "It's because you have been eating chocolate, huh? You haven't lost anymore weight right? Why did you stop? Your not eating like your suppose to huh?"

I spent the rest of the day feeling fat and pimply.

Why can't people mind their own business.

I would say he's got issues, and pulling other people down with him makes him feel better. He's a jerk, don't give him a second thought! You are doing a great job and don't let him make you doubt yourself. You are worth more than that!

Next time, tell him that not that it's any business of his, you're breaking out because of the weight loss. Hormones are stored in fat, after all. Then make a comment about how his skin is looking very clear lately!

What has really made itself apparant to me lately, is that when I was fatter, some of DH's people at work, could not find it in themselves to even bother to speak to me. Now.....between the weight loss, and his promotion, they come up to me and fawn all over me, like we are long lost friends, and want to ask me questions about being banded.

Now normally, I am a major band advocate! I tell anyone, anytime, and am quite vociferous about loving my band! But---I absolutely REFUSE to interact with these stuck up, snobby beyotches!!!!

There was one a couple of weeks ago, she was one of the worst, she is prissy, and maybe a size 5.....she has NEVER spoke to me. Well now she works for my DH. Another employee introduced us---even though we had been introduced before and at company things together for 5 years or so. All this time, I honestly thought her name was Adrianna....so I called her that, and she screamed at me---causing heads to turn---"GAWD!!!!!!! It isn't Adrianna it is Abrianna!!!! I think about that time she realized she is yelling at the new bosses wife, so she tries to cover her ass and tells me "But that's ok Kathy".......I give her a go to hell look and told her it isn't Kathy, it's "Jones" as in MRS., and walked away from her.....

She actually has referred to me as Mrs........(not REALLY Jones!) but usually avoids eye contact now. Little snot!

But the others, they all want to know how much I have lost--which is probably more than some of them weigh!!! And yet others need to lose at least that and more, and even they treated me like crap----now they are curious, and fake sweet, like we have always been buddies, and I'll be damned if I share with them!!! LOL

The ones who always treated me decent, I will tell.....

Next time ask him why he left his muzzle at home.

I'm feeling particularly hate-full right now.

I'd be inclined to say, "I see your mouth moving, you must be saying something but all I hear in my head is, 'shut the eff up'."

Turn and walk away.

Don't let people make you feel bad. I know that's easier said than done, but he's a dick and looking for a reaction from you. Don't give him the satisfaction of getting one.
