vent: "we"

  • Now that it has become obvious that I was trying to lose weight (because I have lost some weight), people have started to "we" my weight loss.

    for example:

    "oh yeah we need to workout more..."

    or

    "we can't fit into that"

    or
    "yeah, we really need to start eating healthy/ paying attention to what we eat"

    arggg! i know that it sounds kind of blerg, but its like, no i have already been doing that, or actually i could fit into that! i wish that people would stop "we"-ing the things that they need to change with me because I am proud that I have kept it up for this long and that I have lost 87 lbs altogether!
  • Take it as comp. Your success is making them rethink their own "doability" in that area, and they want to think that they too can be like you.

    A.
  • Congratulations on your loss. You are doing great. Try to ignore comments that you get from the uninformed.
  • congratulations! you are doing amazingly well so please don't let others both you. it is very annoying but be pleased you are making them want to be healthy too
  • i see you hang around with a lot of nurses:

    "GOOOOOD morning!!!! would we like our sponge bath now???" [actually, nurse crivens, no - but if you wanna send in that hottie little intern that just walked past, i could be persuaded to change my mind]

    "oh, are we feeling a little upset in the tummy?" [until you walked in, i was just a little bit nauseous, thank you]

    "and what would we like for dinner tonight?" [what's the matter - kitchen run outta wallpaper paste?]
