This is annoying
my new co-worker
Well, yes she is..but her eating habits are so different from mine. She doesn't eat normally. There are no 3 meals, they are not balanced and she will not eat bread.
She ate chicken noodle soup and wondered if the noodles are fattening. she refused crackers..she actually said to the person who offered them that she is on a diet and can't have crackers.
She drinks 3 large DD coffees a day. One usually instead of lunch.
Breakfast is either nothing or cottage cheese and fruit. Ok, that's healthy but that is her largest meal of the day.
Lunch is one sushi roll, soup or frozen yogurt or coffee. Not together, just one of the above.
If she goes to the gym she won't eat lunch at all and then plans on frozen yogurt for dinner. She asks me all of the time if something is fattening.
When I suggested that she eat lunch a few hours before she goes to the gym, she had a look of horror on her face. She couldn't understand that you need fuel.
I went to get my boss lunch and she tagged along to get coffee and when I ordered a philly cheese steak sandwich she had a look of horror. She actually said with surprise, "did you really order her a philly cheese steak sandwich?"
She doesn't know I'm on WW. It's actually comical that she will ask me what's fattening. I'm fat..she's not.
You would think she had it all figured out.
I find myself hiding my eating from her. I don't eat badly, I eat very balanced and nutritious meals. I'm losing weight. I have nothing to be ashamed of but her eating habits are making me paranoid.
She always asks me what she should eat for lunch. Every day she asks and then says well I'm not hungry. She went to dinner for her mom's birthday at an Italian restaurant. She told me everything looked so good on the menu but she ordered a salad with grilled chicken.
I know this is a bit rambly. I just don't understand the mentality.

Re: This is annoying
when she recommends a restaurant she says, "oh, they have the best salads!"
Can woman live by salad alone?

yes, kind of sums it up.
I get a veggie omelet for breakfast with a whole wheat english muffin. Too fattening for her.

Re: This is annoying
I would find that extremely annoying also  She's only harming herself, I'd say she needs counsling, that is not healthy behavior.... You just focus on your own healthy diet and don't let her distract you. Try to remember that "health" is the key component of any diet.

Re: This is annoying
oh yeah, her 5 sugars and half & half in her coffee is very fattening but she is willing to have that.
She gets on the phone with her gym and asks about pilates and tells them she doesn't want to lose weight, just tone.
She tells everyone that.

I agree-I have a healthy respect for food, but I'm not afraid of it.
Well, except for office cakes. I am scared of those. They taste horrible but are still so tempting...

Re: This is annoying
she sounds like me - when i was eating disordered. i was so afraid of food. i cannot put into words how frightened i was to eat anything --
but i just read this

oh yeah, her 5 sugars and half & half in her coffee is very fattening but she is willing to have that.
 that strikes me as slightly odd. i'd expect her to drink it black or with equal or something...

Re: This is annoying
she's got other issues (we all have) like owing me money and hasn't paid me yet and I'm too much of a nice person to ask for it.

Re: This is annoying
I remeber you talking about this woman before. I felt then as I do now that she has an eating disorder.
It sounds like you really dislike her. Avoid her if that is the case.

she's making me nuts.
I would tell her that you work very hard to have a balanced and healthy diet. Let her know that her daily questions, comments and observations are making you uncomfortable and you would prefer to not discuss food with her anymore. Tell her, you can appreciate her desire to eat healthy or low fat and that you would be happy to direct her to some great books or resources where she can get qualified education.

I wish I could. She sits right in front of me and her boss works for my boss.
It's not that I don't like her. There's just something off.

Re: This is annoying
If she really has an eating disorder that's sad.
If she doesn't, then I would order a bacon double cheeseburger with fries and moan MMMMMMMM with every bite.

She definitely does- you cannot exist on that few calories. My office mgr is like that. The woman is 52 and a complete exercise bulemic.
If she eats a mini snickers from the candy bowl its the end of the freaking world- she's gotta do 3 classes to "punish" herself. ITs so friggin annoying. And she feels the need DAILY to tell me exactly what she ate for dinner every night.
Oh and she also watches what I eat. She's actually asked me how many points my food is...
