Re: there are SABOTEURS everywhere!

[Guest guest]

There's no one particular person, but my office loves a reason to eat

cake, sweets, whatever. We have birthday breakfast the second Friday

of every month. And they eat junk while I sip on my water. One guy

said the same thing to me -- come on, it won't hurt you!

Do these people know the meaning of the word discipline? Or the

concept of Eating to Live and not Living to Eat? There are only two

other people in my office of about 40 who go to the gym regularly.

No wonder they look at me funny when I tell them I get to the gym 6

days a week.

We're having a going away party tomorrow for a lady who is quitting

her job. Cake will be served. I swear, can't someone think of a

better way to send her off? Uhg!

Why don't you tell him you found out you have all these food

allergies. you can be allergic to chocolate or what ever ingredient

is in what he is offering.

last week a co-worker actually waved a doughnut under my nose!!!! what a b!^@%.

I think she's jealous of my restraint and wants me to be the " old " Angie.

Instead she inspired me to have a " less free " free day. I don't care if I ever

see another doughnut again.

Take a piece or two and save them for your free day - this way - you

have the goodies you were craving and don't have 1/2 a bag left to

tempt you all next week. OR you could just be honest and say " I am

on a special eating plan and don't eat junk 6 days of the week " .

Those people will usually spend the next 3 weeks trying to get you to

mess up though too ! Darn Weenies!

That is priceless!!!

That brings to mind an incident that happened at my office a few

weeks back - Friday is jeans day and I am standing in the breakroom

making my lunch and 3 women are talking behind me about some topic -

then out of the blue I hear one of the three say " God those jeans are

tight " - I was the only person in the room besides this wench and her

pals so it WAS me she was talking about - no doubt.

Heifer - made me wanna lose another clothing size and go buy a

tighter pair of jeans! : )

My office was having Pizza the other day. I LOVE Pizza, but I love

getting results better. So while I was sitting there eating my W/W

tortilla and turkey wrap, someone says to me- " You don't like pizza? "

I said-Yeah I love it, butI am allergic to it...It makes my ass swell!

Got some dirty looks on that one!! Oh well!

I almost spit my water out reading that! Too funny!!! I finally

learned to tell people I'm allergic. At least it gets them to let up

on me. No one seems to appreciate it if I say I'm eating healthy or

just don't want something.

I totally agree with this advice!! This is what I do at work too,

and it actually has turned out to be a help to me. I tell people

that I eat really healthy 6 days out of the week and then I can eat

whatever I want one day out of the week. People have been really

cool about it. Occasionally I would take Free Day during the week,

in which case I would eat a doughnut or something if someone had

brought them in. This would usually elicit horrified stares and

gasps of " You NEVER eat that!! " to which I would say, " It's my day

off from angelic eating. " and then people usually asked more

questions about my eating plan.

Or I get the " Don't offer any of that to , she doesn't eat

that crap. She is a good girl. " Actually said in admiring tones,

not sarcastically! Pretty nice. Of course, I have come across the

a$$holes too, but I usually just smile and say firmly, no thank you,

several times if necessary.

You just have to let stoopid comments roll off you like water off a

duck's back. Keep in mind that in 10 years, all those negative

people will actually LOOK 10 years older (or maybe even look 15-20

years older) and all of us will not look a day older than we look

now. Hopefully.

You can also say. " Sorry, I have heart disease. If I eat that, I'll

die. " I do that to my co-workers all the time and they just laugh

at me. They know i'm not serious but it reminds them not to push.
