Ok, so there is a gent that I work with that has told me a few times to stop losing weight...which gggrrr
(you ALL know what I mean).
So three weeks ago he said something more 'stern' and I keep trying to remember that he's coming from a place of kindess, his daughter is my age. ANYWAY, he said "you need to stop losing weight" to which I replied "I've been done for two months and my doctor is in love with me and all is good, it's ok" - not that I needed to even say THAT but I try to keep where it's coming from in my head.
WELL! Today he said something AHGAIN! So I said "INSERT NAME, if you look at my BMI I'm still over weight! Stop telling me I need to stop losing weight, we've talked about this three weeks ago, my doctor is happy with me" and he said "pfffft, BMI" and rolled his eyes at my friend (he was standing in her office door so he is between us) and then I said "your not understanding, I'm giving you a hint at my weight, I'm considered OVER WEIGHT, therefore I'm NOT TOO SMALL" and he said "I don't like when..." and he ran his fingers over his neck. My girlfriend said "INSERT NAME, she looks fantastic, leave her alone"...the jerk actually looked at my friend (btw he's her boss) and said "Meh" and walked away. So I stepped into my friends office and closed the door and just sat down in shock....I actually had a lump in my throat.
LASKJEFL:KSDJF I'm so very agravated!! He totally TOTALLY stepped over the line...
On the other hand, the frustration I felt made me run faster on the treadmill today! And the friend I was with (a different one then the one above) who's runs marathons told me I looked like a gazelle, but she also knows the story...so she also knew how ticked I was!
Like, UGH! he'd have never said "You are really over weight and I don't think you look good...you should lose weight" what gives him the permission to say something to me NOW. I said way to much back to him (which I now regret), should have just said "shut up"....ugh
2RIDE good to see you friend!
come back more often?
today I did 5 minute warm up 40 minute run 5 minute cool down for just over 4 miles...tried last 4 minutes @ 6.1 miles an hour...trying to go faster a few minutes a run. Only doing it twice a week for a bit just because I get really tired and don't want to feel like that a lot of the week.
