What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu, RNYers?
on 10/4/19 5:13 am
Happy Friday! I am headed into town today for a mani/pedi and grocery shopping.
Yesterday while at work, I heard someone make a comment about my weight. He was telling another person that I look like I am "packing on the pounds" again. It really upset me! It kind of put me in a funk last night. It brought me right back to that girl that was 280, full of shame and wanting to hide. I know that I am not "packing on the pounds" I told him later that his words were hurtful and that my weight was none of his business.
QOTD- The support group at my WLS center is once a month at 7:30pm. I live an hour away, so it just doesn't really work for me. I am also not that impressed with the dietician that runs it.
Food for today-
2 eggs, 1/2 c. cottage cheese
burger in a bowl at five guys
Halibut with zoodles with pesto
Light and fit pumpkin yogurt.
Lots of water and vitamins always. Be kind to yourself!

I am sorry you had to deal with that and good for you for addressing it with the asshat that made the comment. It can be hard to have that type of conversation but you did it!!

I know it doesn't help, but if I were there I would have punched him for you!! I hate people who think they are entitled to comment about other people's weight. It's one thing if he had told YOU directly bcz he was concerned, but using your weight as gossip is not acceptable.

I am so sorry that this person thought your weight was fodder for discussion. It absolutely isn't and I am so proud of you for speaking up for yourself. I would have loved to see the look on his face.
You keep doing what you need to do to make yourself feel good. This is a journey, and there are sometimes mean people on every journey. Don't let him or ANYONE ever make you feel less than what you are, which is amazing and blessed to be here.
That being said, if he does it again I would consider it harassment, indicative of a hostile work environment and ask that HR be involved.
Sending you love and light!

I am glad you were able to tell him how you felt. How rude of him! It truly is none of his business! I am so sorry that even happened.
You can't measure your achievements with someone else's yardstick!
