Suprisingly, or maybe unsurprisingly, I don't have much to talk about. Al's challenge has made eating so simple that I haven't had to think much about food. I plan, I buy, I prep, I eat, I drink.
Luckily, or maybe unlucky for me, stress at work has been high for a little bit. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed and underappreciated. It happens, it passes, and the good thing is I'm going home every night and running it off. My second 5k is coming up at the end of October (assuming work doesn't interfere) and I should see a 100% improvement from my 1st 5k, no doubt.
It cracks me up how we perceive food these days. We had a potluck at work today, in which I provided the dessert and meat, however I brought my own lunch. I still got comments about how I was a food snob and they couldn't believe that I wasn't eating the food. Meh, you can't please everyone. I refuse to give up the 182 I'm consistently seeing on the scale this week for cake.
And this is why you rock! Proud of you for being able to provide a dessert and meat, and yet ate per the challenge menu.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome about your 5k training! I'm ready to start running (one more week off the feet and I'm there!). It really can be a stress reliever.
You are right, that number you want to hang on to is not worth giving up for less than 5 minutes of satisfaction via the cake. Great job woman!
OMG!!! Look how much weight you have lost! Very impressive.. you keep it up!!! Ignore those idiots at your work. I will gladly have the title of Diet Natzi (yes, I've been called that lol), Food Snob, Skinny Bitch (I will be soooooo happy when someone calls me that!), or any other title someone would like to come up with... in exchange for a size 6 butt. I don't give a crap what anyone thinks about my eating or not eating. Especially when they know how I feel about eating junk and my various food issues. It mostly just amplifies the fact that they, themselves are eating crap that they already feel guilty about. I used to work with a guy who would actually hide in the corner out of my line of sight when he was eating his snacks lol. I never said anything but I guess just being there was enough to make him feel guilty.. too funny.
ReplyDeleteThey are jealous because they can see you doing something that they can't find the drive to do. The people who really care about you will support your efforts and the rest of them can kiss your rapidly shrinking booty!!
You're doing great Food Snob. Just keep u the good work. :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you for standing your ground! I get the same thing when I visit my in laws. They say I'm being rude for not eating. Really? Because I want to be healthy and eating a stick of butter isnt in my plan?

Kudos for bringing your own lunch and resisting the temptation of the potluck! Shame that your coworkers don't support you in your endeavor.
ReplyDeleteGood job not giving in to peer (or snob) pressure! My co-worker asked me the other day if I was going to be one of those sick skinny people who are all bones and keeps wanting to lose more weight, adding in that he likes meat on his women! ewww. People say the rudest things because they don't want to face their own issues. Great job with sticking to your plan!
ReplyDeleteIt's so empowering to be able to do what you did. Being secure in our decisions is key. Whether those people were consciously trying to sabotage you or whether they were subconsciously trying to get you off track doesn't matter. It only matters how you feel about it. Well done.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I so hear you girl. I am always bring my own lunch to work luncheons. I've never been called a snob to my face, but people ask a lot of questions and I get a lot of black stares. Meh. They can eat the junk and fatten up. I'm not down.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for sticking to your plan!! Who cares what they think, right??
ReplyDeleteI hope things start getting a little better for you at work!
