Weight Loss need advice, weight loss jealousy at work! Apr 27 2009

What does that even mean... "you're going to look like a smoker."  A smoker of what?  My first thought was more along the lines of 'you're going to look smoking/hot.'  But you didn't seem to take it that way, so there must be something I'm missing.

hey, smoker means someone addicted to drugs, people sometimes call them crackheads, usually very skinny. My coworker was trying to tell me to not lose any more weight or I'll look like that.

I had the same thing happen with an ah*** coworker, only she told me that she hoped I was done losing weight because I was right on the edge of looking really old.  I just looked at her and replied "Do you ever hear what comes out of your mouth?"  she just kind of stammered and walked away and has not said anything further.  People are funny when other people lose weight.  When you are in control of your weight it shows in other ways beside's your body.  Maybe the woman you work with is threatened.  Either way, shine it on and be proud of yourself!

hey betzc, you're so right on this one! The lady at my job actually said the same craziness, that she hopes I'm done losing weight or I'll start looking like a "smoker" aka crackhead, drug addict. I'm thinking to myself, how would that be possible when I'm not even under 200 pounds yet? She's ignorant basically.

health_zar, you are so right! What you said makes alot of sense, people get so jealous when others make progress in general, unless they are confident in themselves, than they can just compliment us. The main thing is to keep striving for our goals in spite of the jealousy and negativity from many people.
