Having a bad day

I don't like to whine but I'm going to indulge in it today.  Work had another food day...lasagna bake off to be precise.  I'm 6 months out and can't tolerate pasta very well and feel very left out.  I got asked why I didn't have any lasagna and I said because I can't eat it.  I got stared at and frankly am just tired of being stared at.   

We just had our quarterly "Potluck" for our dept. today.  I am two weeks post surgery and I still had a hard time.  I wanted so much to eat what they ate, but could not.  For me, part of it is still my old way of thinking.  I at compulsively alot and now I have to control that.

I know how you feel.  You are not whining.  Keep up the great work!  Look at the weight loss you have had and visualize what you will have.  It will keep getting better!!

 Yah, foo on all of them staring! Wonder how they would like to be stared at?

Hey, don't worry! I tried to eat some whole wheat spaghetti and meat sauce my family had for dinner tonight too and couldn't swallow more than 2 small bites and right now it's sitting in my stomach like a rock. I'd have to turn down the lasagna too.
Would these people be staring you if you had always been a thin person who said that you couldn't eat the lasagna? Maybe, but probably not. Would you mind that they stared at you if you had always been thin? Maybe, but probably not.
What I'm saying is, don't give in to your insecurities. Now...You can get mad at them, or you can ignore them and go on doing what you know you have to do to reach your goal! I recommend the second.

Maybe in the future it would just be easier to say, I don't care for it, or It doesn't agree with me. Maybe you should talk to the person who organizes this food day and ask about having some that focus on healthy low fat foods?

You are not whining.. it is hard to be put in this situation. We are here to listen! I commend you on your progress and good choices!

I'd get in their face if they push you about it.
for crying out loud that is just rude! and staring?? omg that is mean.

I am glad you felt safe to come share with us.  I use the "my stomach isn't up to that today" when I need an out.  When faced with potluck, I try to make something that I can eat and others will probably not realize that is wls friendly. 

you should work where I do! LOL....the detectives really try to push the donuts on me! LOL..just tell them it doesn't afree with you any more...my work is now used to me not eating much....but I still get comments about how "skinny" I am getting, the females worse then the males....

Thats probably cuz the females are wishing they were smaller..lol

patrece you are right, the worst one is my coworker, she is always telling me to stop losing weight, as she is shoveling mounds of pancake with syrup and butter into her mouth...LOL
