So BORED - Vent Post!

[Sarah1341]

Okay, this day seems to be taking forever!!!! I hate being at work with nothing to do when I can think of one thousand and one things to do at home. That is my vent for the day. I am absolutely tired of being at work.

Anyone else want to step up and vent now?

Vent:

All I wanted was 3-4 hours of uninterupted sleep. Instead, the entire world decides to call when I lay down & kids decide it's the best time to fight and be obnoxious to each other.

Re: So BORED - Vent Post!

I would like to vent about other peoples inconsideration...today at work we had potluck. There are some really good dishes and desserts. I ate what I was allowed to have and had no problem with it. The thing that made me a little irritated was, all the ribbing about not eating the desserts and carb dishes. When I kindly explained that I was ok with what I had, I heard..."what you dieting (I never told anyone I changed my eating habbits)?" I explained, I was trying to lose some weight. Some of them were cool with that and left it alone. Others were "what kind of diet are you on?' I told them and I really got neg. feedback about this woe. I asked if anyone of them had tried it and they said no it was a stupid diet that could hurt you and people do not lose weight on it anyway. The majority of the ladies I work with are huge and could use to put down the daily danishes and pick up some celery. I didn't say anything after that. I just thought of all of yous on the forum and the many that has lost tremendous amt. of weight. They will see. I will be lean and healthy and they will want to know how I did it.

Mcotton - big hugs your way!!

Some people just don't think. I would say it was a little jealousy on their part. They saw you making wise food choices while they were eating the sugar laden desserts. Don't sweat it, just walk away knowing that you made the best choice for you. A few months from now when they see your progress, I guarantee they will be a little more interested in Atkins and your approach to change.

Re: So BORED - Vent Post!

mcotton,

I have a similiar situation where I work. Probably 8 of the 12 hours we are there, we are in the lunch room. If some people know that somebody else is on a diet they try to sabotage them. It's a joke to them. It don't bother me any more. They can do what they want 'cause my pounds are going down!

Don't let them bother, just keep on trucking. Remember, you got a destination... slimsville.

mcotton,

You said that right!

Re: So BORED - Vent Post!

You know, Warsaw, good point. Why do people try to sabatoge? I know that you said people do it as a joke where you work, but what about others? For instance the woman I work with that claims she made me low carb muffins, but really doesn't know what low carb means. Hmmmm......something to ponder. And how often do we sabatoge ourselves??

Okay, I admit it. I need a topic today. Again, have nothing to do at work. Someone please help me make it through a horribly long Friday work day.

Re: So BORED - Vent Post!

Most the people I know are supportive to a person (myself) that is trying to lose wt. In my case it is the 4 women that are greatly larger than myself that is always being so critical. One of them(im venting again) eats all day long (my secretary). No kidding...from the time I walk in to the time I leave she is eating. She is a diabetic with hypertension. I try to counsel her on her eating habits when she will ask me how she can lose wt., but she never follows anyones advice. She just shovels all those muffins and pastrys and fast food lunches into her mouth. I think sometimes she catches me looking at her(because I can't believe she is eating again) and tells me..."I know you are on a diet, but do you want one?". They bring in home made desserts for the break room on a daily basis.I don't have the desire for the food, but still it is a gripe for me. Well I vented again today.

Re: So BORED - Vent Post!

Get all those vents out! That would be frustrating. Where I used to work, the receptionist would eat all the time. I swear, one day I came out and she was eating breaded fried chicken at her desk. But I'm fat for a reason. I used to eat all kinds of crap too. Except I'm a sugar junkie, so I was not eating fried chicken, lol. Candy bars were my downfall.

Sometimes I wonder if I have any emotional issues behind my eating, but other times, I simply think you know what, I like food. Plan and simple, I enjoy food. Grrrrr....damn food. To bad we have to eat to live. Cannot just cut food out of your life.

Re: So BORED - Vent Post!

Im bored @ work also and i can relate! I work in an office also where everyone is huge and think they're "fine" so they always have food here. One lady though, she actually eats all day....and i mean all day. And shes always like "im sorry i couldnt get that, i had something in my mouth" WELL..........try to not stuff your face 24-7 and you might not be like you are. This lady eats "breakfast" as she calls it which is 2 whole bags of extra butter popcorn. EVERYDAY! she hasnt skipped a day yet. and my boss, it about my age and my size and she knows im on a diet, and it seems like shes doing this just so i dont become smaller than her, but she will get a cookie, brownie, anything and come to my cube and go "ymmmmm, and wave it around" LOL I just laugh b\c its pathetic.

I feel your pain!
