Re: coworker woes

I also can relate to not being able to discuss my goals and healthier

lifestyle with certain family and friends. Either they say " are you

still on that diet? " or " are you feeling ok, you look so thin. " first

of all it's not a diet and yes I feel better than I ever have and I

am at higher weight [due to increased muscle] than I was the last

time you saw me~ These people that say these things are family and

friends that could stand to loose a few lbs themselves but insist

that they just don't have time, or you have to exercise too type of

attitudes. So they are throwing their negative comments at me in

hopes of sabatoging my efforts so they don't have to rexamine their

efforts or lack there of.

I was brought up with the attitude if you don't have something nice

to say then don't say anything at all...you know I have noticed that

for the most part others practice this as well except when it comes

to eating healthy and exercising. Then everyone and their brother has

an opinion on the subject. So you can either let it bother you or

choose to ignore it...However it is hard to ignore it when someone

that you respect is full of negativity and is trying to sabotage the

efforts you are working hard on. I guess that there will always be

someone in our lives that will just not get or relate to anything

like these programs.
