Warning: Whining
Just had a run in with a co worker. This girl has done some seriously risky behavior and I have never judged her, never said a negative word. She was upset I didn't tell her about my surgery beforehand and she said it was because I knew she wouldn't approve? Ummm, no, I didn't know you wouldn't APPROVE. She then went on to say why couldn't I do this with diet and exericse, because the people on BIGGEST LOSER DO IT. I was stunned. What an idiot. Of course,s he's never had a weight problem, so I'm basically avoiding her as much as possible.
Good person to avoid in you journey. You do not need anyone in your life with those kinda vibes. And if we could all have a person trainer, chef and babysitter 24 hours a day, like those on biggest loser, we would probably do as well as the people on biggest loser. And there have been many reports of those people "being on their own" after and gaining it all right back.
The point is, its not hers to judge. Stick to your guns and give her a never mind next time she passes your way. And always feel free to come here and let it out. We will always be on your side. Kathy
Hope you don't have to work with her, or run into her often.

Sorry you had to go through that.. sounds like a total lack of understanding, empathy, common sense and research on her part. There are some people at my work the same, they want to be in the loop and were stunned when I announced in a meeting on Monday that I would be off for the next few weeks having gastric bypass.
Too bad, so sad, these are OUR lives to live, to make decisions, to do what is best for us !!
She's an idiot - steer clear, smile at continue to drop those pounds !!

For the love of Pete... it never ceases to amaze me how self absorbed people can be...or how stupid they sound when saying their 2 cents. Who gives a flying fig what her opinion is. Of course you don't share the EXTREMELY personal and PRIVATE decision, you don't share because of people just like her. She wouldn't approve...? What, not that you care. She wants you to consult with her...not like you didn't have to jump though enough hoops without stupid co workers...that is idiotic of her. People like that really get my dander up! I have a friend who will not speak to me anymore because I didn't consult her before having RNY. My jaw dropped when she told me that. I don't want friends or aquaintences like that and I am sure you don't either. You are a smart woman...you did all that research, travelled to another country, paid lots of money and she thinks it is "the easy way out?" The biggest loser comment...only a moron would say that. They have trainers, supervision, accountability, chefs, baby sitting, supportive family and spouses.
KICK HER TO THE CURB!
Boy, people like that REALLY TICK ME OFF in the worst way! You are doing great...Keep up the good work and we will keep supporting you.

Ummm...the people on Biggest Loser get to step away from their lives, go live on a ranch with personal trainers and a WHOLE gym in their backyard. They get their meals prepared and they have the incentive of winning $$$!!! Other people have to go to a full time job, sometimes a job with people like her to deal with, they have STRESS and bills and not to mention a family at home to take care of. I would totally brush off her comments. I've had people tell me that I took the easy way out and I say that until they walk a mile in my shoes they will never know what it's like to be me or make my decisions.
