I know there are a lot of posts like this, but I just need to vent. I ordered a taco salad today at work and I was commenting on how it came with no meat...just lettuce, tomatoes, olives, cheese, sour cream and salsa on the side. Somebody said, "what about beans". And I said, no I'm not eating beans yet. So everybody starts discussing this. The one girl pipes up and says, "The Atkins diet is so unhealthy. You know that Dr. Atkins died from it". I said no, he slipped on the ice and fell. And everybody in my department agrees with her...that yes, he fell, but he fell because of a heart attack. Whatever. I just let that point go.
So I continue to say how I don't know how anybody can say that what I eat is unhealthy because I eat good meats, veggies, and no sugar. So the same girl says, "Atkins isn't a no sugar diet, its a no carb diet." So I continue to go on to fight my point, about how I eat healthy carbs and how sugar is a bad carb, so in turn there are no refinded sugars. I finally just gave up and ate my salad without continuing to argue.
The thing that makes me mad is that the girl that was so against Atkins is very slim. She just magically lost 25 lbs over the last year (its a mystery). She has a rule...she eats nothing that's green...about the only veggie she likes is carrots and she doesn't even really like them. Every day at work she lives on candy bars, chips, hormel chili, pizza, and regular soda. She eats nothing healthy, and she is trying to rip apart the way I eat! I wish I had some balls to step up and say something more to her about her eating habits, but I just gave up the fight. She is telling me that eating this way is going to kill me like it did Dr. Atkins. ARGH!
This is the same girl that said to an overweight coworker...if I ever weigh 200 lbs, I hope somebody shoots me. And the coworker she says this to is well over 200 lbs. I am going to throw a party the day I weigh 200 lbs. I'm thinking a banner in my cube to celebrate and maybe some ballons. She will be mortified that I am excited about something like that.
Ok, that's the end of my vent. I really don't care what she thinks, but it just annoyed me.
