for a minute.

My one coworker is obese

She easily weighs in the upper 200's, if not 300 lbs

She has complained to me that she can't lose weight "no matter what she does"

She even tried some new laser weight loss thing and gained weight according to her...

But in reality she's fat because she's lazy and eats like livestock.

It's 100% not my problem or business but when she complains to me I want to say "are you fucking serious?? You ate fried cheese for breakfast!!!"

I've never seen her turn down leftovers

The fried cheese she ate for breakfast was leftover from another coworker's lunch from the day before...Same thing when she ate half of a leftover cheeseburger and 3 slices of pizza!!

I've said something before - like "omg! Is that your breakfast? youre gonna be sick"

She said "no, I ate some boiled eggs earlier too"

She eats like 5-6 boiled eggs in a sitting. ?

When we go to Starbucks everyone gets their tall whatever or skinny whatever and then there's her ordering a fucking Venti java chip frappucino

Like wtf man

Why don't you say it? To her.

But for real advice, try offering her surgery. They sow your stomach up, so it physically cannot take any more food. Her's is by now stretchable like a condom i'd imagine.

Also, neuron are littered all over the digestive tract, she probably can't even help herself to say no to cravings. They sow this up too, no contact with upper brain.

She must have some Taurus or something in her because she's very stubborn

I have tried saying things as gently as possible seriously but she's so obstinate

And she's really sensitive so she'll just get all pissy and I don't personally give a shit enough about her to deal with that shit. We aren't friends ??‍♀️

Well while there is nothing you can do about her choices, you can choose not to listen, hard when your a nice person but maybe everytime, she starts to bemoan, you get up and go to the bathroom or pick up your phone or something. I dont think Im giving very helpful advice but Im with you, this would make me crazy - I dont like watching ppl harm themselves and not even realize, they are their own worst enemy, we all have blind spots to ourselves but when its such a physical one, it feels like they are screaming for help but then wont take it. Anyway, until she faces her own reality, she's going to keep doing this, so all you can do is tune it out.

I have a cousin like that.

She eats like she is storing for the winter.

Breakfast, 2 hours later a McDonald's value meal and will even take a couple extra burgers for the road, 3 hours later chocolate bars and a buffet dinner, then a before bed snack!

We are talking 10,000 calories minimum

When you're at 200-300lbs no amount of gentle touch gets through the fat to reach the core.

Also, food is like the drug the gods gave to normal ppl, it's difficult to say no, when your only pleasure in life are your taste buds firing.

I'm not advocating weening her off of food only to get her to do mdma and meth just trying to illustrate. It's psychological cause to keep gorging on food with no end, but after a while it becomes physical as the stomach is stretched and all those neurons keep sending signals to the brain "we're not full yet".

I'd tell her as bluntly as possible, fuck sensitivity when the future of the quality of her life is at stake. ijs, i know you don't care.

Fat, sugars, and salt all act like cocaine in the brain. From experience I know how difficult it can be to shake that monkey off your back. And I don't even have an addictive streak.

It sounds like she needs something else in her life to fill that void.
Oh trust me I know! I just quit sugar and all that the end of last year and I felt physically sick for a good week ....but you can't say you don't know why you're fat and then order a venti java chip frappucino!!

Leave her alone. It's not your busines. She's not going to do anything about it until she is ready. It's obviously a psychological thing. She eats to comfort herself.
Idk who liked this but you're both enablers apparently and being too sensitive



She has been ready to do something about it apparently considering she spent $ 1000s on that laser shit because she thought it was quick fix when in reality she'd get better results not eating like a pig and getting off her ass

Yes there are people who legitimately have medical problems that make it hard to lose and maintain weight - I get that - I have PCOS - it's been a struggle for me to maintain weight ...but I don't eat fried cheese for fucking breakfast and cry that I can't lose weight "no matter what I do"

I've gained weight in the last two years.

It sucks.

I don't even eat at McDonald's.....or any fast food for that matter. My fridge and cupboards are stacked with low carb everything. I haven't drunk dairy in years. I've turned down Thursday doughnuts at work for years.

It's moreso because of work and relationship......my work entails long hours at my desk or in front of a monitor and my relationship is just really comfortable and the little time we have together because we are both work mongers is spent on the sofa cuddling.

It's lack of activity for me.

it's a vicious circle though.....because to be active takes time.....and I don't have much time these days. Who the hell wants to get up at 3-4am to work out when you just walked in the door from work at 10-11pm? I want a cup of tea and to relax my mind for a bit.

And it makes you tired.

Maybe my new job will help but I have to be extremely disciplined because a couple months at a time will be spent in a hotel.....but the hotel has a gym....but it can get depressing after a week or two....and it will be winter time.

The cap don't seem to mind but I do.

😭



I feel you l. It sneaks up

I had gradually gained a couple pounds every year since I was 18 or so...one day I looked at a picture of myself and was like holy shit I look like a chode! ?

Getting old sucks and yes it's harder for some to maintain weight than others.

I had always been thin since i was lil. Till i moved to this city and hanging out a lot with this ladies who eat so much. They're nearly obese. And i kinda ate a lot too since we always having snacks everytime we're hanging out.

I'd craving for food here and there then Bam! My body just turned up to be the heaviest i have ever been all my life.

I decided to change my life style , since the weight just made me feel sluggish and such. Worked out and ate healthier.

I lost almost 20 pounds, i felt good my stamina just went better. But theeen these ladies all freaked out and started to picking on me said that i'm anorexic and so on and mad at me for being thin. "Encourage" me to stop workout and stop the healthy eating. I cheated for few days then before i knew it, i binged badly.

Gained few pounds back. And now i hate it!

And they seem happy that i'm no longer that thin no more.

lol...what the hell is fried cheese anyways? Like mozzerella sticks?

any kind of frappacinos are pretty gross, imo.
Fried cheese curds.

Yeah these

We got a Culver's here and these bitches act like it's the best thing to ever happen to them


Fried cheese curds are fantastic, I'll admit. Especially with some curry ketchup. But that's a weekend splurge food. Even for me.

I got real ones from our friends from WI and they were pretty cool I guess

They weren't fried...and there was a bunch of different flavors

Way better than the shit at Culver's

It's not enabling. It's minding your own business. Obviously eatting fried cheese is not good. But I'm saying she got a food addiction.... It's psychological. It would be easier to get a person off crack than you will someone with a food addiction.

If you really want to open her eyes, write down everything you see her eat in one day, the amount, time of day, for a week. Get a plate of everything, bring it in and put it on the table with the paper you wrote down her food schedule. Have someone else in the office initial it that they saw her eat it so you have back up. Or take pictures. Show her what she is eating. She will hate you forever but you seem more concerned about her being fat then being her friend anyway.

? talk about getting in someone's business...now we've gone from me venting about something I find contradictory and annoying to you suggesting I chart her eating habits for her?!

That's the thing - I don't want to be in her business - I absolutely do not want to be her friend, she's a hot mess and I like my peaceful life.

I'm just venting as I clearly stated in the title.

It's difficult to hear someone bitch about being fat and claim they've tried to lose weight and failed when the reality is you've never seen them turn down food and actually see them eat like livestock daily.

I've gained because of foot problems led me to being not as active.
It's hard getting old, trust me I know!!!

She has blamed her planters fasciitis(sp?)

But she got that from being obese , not the other way around. She's been fat since I've known her...she just started having feet problems a year or so ago.
I got mine after a summer of abusing the shit out of my feet walking on river rocks.

It's weird, isn't it?

It's like you are damned if you do and damned if you don't.

When I lost weight then....I was asked "Are you sick?"....."You have to eat something!"....I'm like....wth? I felt pretty damn great!

Then they would stop inviting me out with them....lmao

People are savages! 😛

Lol heard the same words too, and mostly from overweight people. Yet healthy and fit people gave me high fives.

I now been working on losing the weight from the binge.

so, it's an attention thing...maybe?

she gets attention by talking about her weight all the time.

like cc gets attention by being a negative cunt all the time.

she needs to find a different way to get attention that fills that space.

leo moons on female water signs are high maintenance.

I've always said that only fire suns can handle that moon.

There are few exceptions on the board....like Infinite8 (scorpio)....but most of the cancer or pisces with leo moons eventually lose their composure and snap.





Idk she's a bit socially awkward but I can see that is why she talks to herself and reads her emails out loud, etc because she's lonely and wants people to hear her / interact with her ??

I always saw her as a needy person - needs a lot of support just to get through the most basic tasks - can't make a decision herself - codependent on her dogs and parents

Maybe she actually just does all of this to hear herself talk and get attention ??

She looks like shit and she's never going to meet anyone and move on with her life and be happy if she doesn't even try to take care of herself

She got a divorce like 10 fucking years ago and talks about it at least once a day




seems to me you don't want to help her, just slag her off

i dont like obese ppl either - me being skinny & all - but since you know she s been through a divorce, you should understand her better; maybe she went through a depression after her divorce and comfort food made her feel better.

anyway, do you look like a supermodel? who the fukk are you to judge people like that?

click to expand


This has already been addressed bro, keep up.

There's no helping her - she can only help herself.

Also, I don't care about her divorce - it was 10 years ago, move on already. I can't even remember who I was fucking with 10 years ago

And I wouldn't judge her if she didn't beg to be judged - last time I'm making this point, then you can keep being oversensitive - don't complain that you can't figure out why you can't lose weight and eat things like fried cheese for breakfast and religiously consume a weeks worth of sugar/calories every day.

Nobody knows weight struggle like me

I have a medical condition that actually makes it extremely difficult to maintain weight due to insulin resistance, etc

But guess what? I don't eat like that and whine about being fat. I have no sympathy for these types ??‍♀️

And no I'm not a "supermodel"

I'm 4'11, for one

And would never describe myself as skinny

I am in shape now - but only because I got off my ass and changed my life style /diet for my overall health.

Which is why I can't listen to this nonsense

I didn't delude myself into thinking there was nothing that could be done and I should just eat 3000 calories a day and say fuck it

I don't even eat at McDonald's.....or any fast food for that matter. My fridge and cupboards are stacked with low carb everything. I haven't drunk dairy in years. I've turned down Thursday doughnuts at work for years.

It's moreso because of work and relationship......my work entails long hours at my desk or in front of a monitor and my relationship is just really comfortable and the little time we have together because we are both work mongers is spent on the sofa cuddling.

you know you need to make the time - don't just say there isn't time - start with 1/2 hour a day no matter what - and get in some of that light used for the winter blues - I need this same advice motivation all the time so I'm not just telling you what you need to do, I need to do the same cause I get blah over the dark winter months

they feel good but it's not for you - it's about them needing confirmation that what they are individually doing is a group thing and that it's ok - but it's not ok - if you hang out with them you don't have to eat anything that isn't healthy or if you aren't even hungry

She says "I'm gonna eat whatever I want because it doesn't matter I stay the same weight either way"

Nah bro if you ate normal serving sizes and healthier foods and got off your ass more than to go to the fridge you'd lose weight I promise
id say just that if she kept bellyaching to me ?

i dont fat shame but i dont make excuses either. thats shit i used to do when i was 200lbs at 5'4". now that im 120lbs i know whats up. with yoga 15-30 min 5x a week plus eating better (not perfect but healthier), the weight shed off without feeling like i was obsessing over it. in fact it went before i realized it. now for maintenance and toning, i do yoga whenever i feel like it, which i have te energy now that im not obese. it's getting started.... once people do that, they tend to understand the difference in living healthy. its not about being perfect. just about moderation and not being lazy all the time LOL ? mental illness and weight gain go hand in hand so i must say it is incredibly difficult but satisfying when the change occurs...

I've gained because of foot problems led me to being not as active.
It's hard getting old, trust me I know!!!

She has blamed her planters fasciitis(sp?)

But she got that from being obese , not the other way around. She's been fat since I've known her...she just started having feet problems a year or so ago.
I got mine after a summer of abusing the shit out of my feet walking on river rocks.

that is true, the weight put on the feet and the lack of proper support i.e. walking around in flat sandals and/or flip flops all the time can do it

I've gained weight in the last two years.

It sucks.

I don't even eat at McDonald's.....or any fast food for that matter. My fridge and cupboards are stacked with low carb everything. I haven't drunk dairy in years. I've turned down Thursday doughnuts at work for years.

It's moreso because of work and relationship......my work entails long hours at my desk or in front of a monitor and my relationship is just really comfortable and the little time we have together because we are both work mongers is spent on the sofa cuddling.

It's lack of activity for me.

it's a vicious circle though.....because to be active takes time.....and I don't have much time these days. Who the hell wants to get up at 3-4am to work out when you just walked in the door from work at 10-11pm? I want a cup of tea and to relax my mind for a bit.

And it makes you tired.

Maybe my new job will help but I have to be extremely disciplined because a couple months at a time will be spent in a hotel.....but the hotel has a gym....but it can get depressing after a week or two....and it will be winter time.

The cap don't seem to mind but I do.

😭


you know you need to make the time - don't just say there isn't time - start with 1/2 hour a day no matter what - and get in some of that light used for the winter blues - I need this same advice motivation all the time so I'm not just telling you what you need to do, I need to do the same cause I get blah over the dark winter months
lol.....there is no light.

I go to work in the dark....I come home in the dark.

no not outside, I used to use a tanning bed a long time ago but that isn't healthy any more - they sell lights and/or light bulbs where you can sit under them for like 1/2 hour a day and they help the blah blues when the body is down from not getting enough sunlight

I became addicted to exercise... think, Gemini dominant Aries Sun, lol. Didn't know it was bad. Went to the doctor when I started shitting what appeared to be fresh water (Virgo thought it was so cool, LOL!)

I had a treadmill and used to love it but I downsized to an apartment (on the second floor) because I wanted to pretend I lived in a European flat for awhile (LOL)....so, the treadmill did not come with me.....I'm not the kind of dick that likes to disturb my neighbors 😛

Plus I live with the cap now too and before I lived alone and could dance and act a fool around the house but my libra bits don't allow such things when others are present.

He lost a shit ton of weight during our hiatus and his regimen is hard core and it would probably kill me if I participated....lol

I was taking walks in the park with my Taurus friend but his son recently passed away and he's just not feeling it.

I don't mind walking by myself but it would have to be in the dark because I don't see much daylight.

we all make too many excuses

so walk in the dark

and/or do what you need to do or give it up and stop talking about it

it is true - but not in the beginning - you have to build up those endorphins - it doesn't take long - and then you get psyched to go again and do more and more - it's all about switching your addictions to the better path

This is why I love Sagittarius. You guys are so upfront and direct most of the times.

Either you take it or just leave. 😆

You're a Sag, aren't you?


Sags are the Honey Badgers - they just don't give a sheet lol
Exactly!

To them, it is what it is. My ex and current Sag has the same sheet.

It's depressing for some, but it's funny for me. If you want an honest answer, just ask the archers. Be prepare for the devils to tell you nothing but the truth! 😆

Actually, that's the best thing eva. It helps to motivate you, and show them that you can do better. 😉

lol yeah but they can be wrong and that pizzed me off totally about the Sag I was dating - I tend to think like that most of the time myself - one of my favorite sayings - it is what it is - but Sags can be "brutal" lol - I just could never be that "mean" for lack of a better word - even though I know where they are coming from ... sometimes I can cause I do have an Aries Mercury - but I hold back a lot more these days - more like an observer and smda cause there just aren't enough words in the world for most people these days - they gonna do what they gonna do regardless - da` gone !
