Hi all, so I've been trying to lose some weight but more so to get healthy and feel better. I started on the treadmill just about every day since December 2020 after seeing a photo someone took of me at a work function, I knew I had gained weight but didn't quite realise how much! So that spurred me on and to make some goals. I've found I've plateud somewhat on the treadmill so I've been trying to change it by doing aerobic and cardio type workouts, then thought I needed to improve on my eating, I don't eat alot I don't eat breakfast, and I can go through an entire day not eating at all so in the hope of speeding up my metabolism, I thought I'd try and eat during the day. My issue: I'm finding at work my colleagues always seem to have some comment on what in eating, so I thought I'd have an avocado in the morning one day, one woman I work with says to me, you aren't going to eat that whole avo are you? This isn't a big avo, the ones I easy are very small. Do you know how many calories are in that she says? I felt so disheartened and judged, I didn't ask her opinion, I actually ended buying tuna the next week, and I get is that in oil? It should be in water if you want to lose weight. Why does everyone feel like an expert, and that they need to educate me, im trying, it's not for you, I'm doing this for myself! Like wow, I now feel like I can't eat anything without someone saying something oh that can't be healthy, i.e vitawheat crackers, like come on!! It's not burger king no 4 with extra BBQ sauce, if there's a birthday at work I usually don't have any cake, I get judged more when I say no thanks, I don't understand it. Im honestly trying not to care what anyone thinks at work but I am however so sick and tired of the comments especially when they aren't constructive, im not a calorie counter it's too overwhelming for me but I am trying to make good choices. Anyone got an advice? I know people say things without thinking but I want them to know it's not okay without turning it into a big deal. It just makes me feel bad 😔
