Tomorrow (well, Wednesday), I have to start hearing it all over again - the coworkers who act like they invented weight loss, who are so proud of themselves for "being good," and then are "being bad" when they think about having a donut, who have to talk about every single thing they eat, who have to mention that they "can't" eat a certain ingredient in whatever I'm mentioning I made for dinner, and worst of all, the woman who has eaten the exact same meals every single day of the two years I've worked here, continuing to eat those same two meals, but telling everyone, over and over, that she's on her "21 day fix and loving it!" because somehow she needs to be even more rigid. Meanwhile I've been quietly logging my calories, making adjustments so I can eat the things I like, keeping my gym clothes in the car, and actually getting results. It feels so toxic to listen to all this "weight loss culture" and competition between them, because none of it is about health, it's about the importance of being a size 4, not a 6, or restricting yourself just to prove some sort of point. If only they dropped off in a few weeks - it'll go on like this for months. It makes me want to hide in my office to eat, because food gets so shameful around this time of year.
Is anyone else feeling like this in their office/workplace?
