Ahhh yes. They are out there. The people that KNOW that you are low carb, dieting trying to be successful in staying on track and losing weight. Yet, they ask questions like. "Want some cookies?" I smile and say no, thanks.
But, I can't help but think....why? Why not support me with this? Why not say..hey she is serious and is looking good. I better not ask her.
Is it envy. That I have finally gotten serious to do something, the weight is falling off and frankly...they don't like it.
I am the first to admit a girl I work with took off about 35 pounds and I looked at her and said...you look great. I am so happy for you and I said....out loud...no quams,,,,I am soo jealous! She blushed and gloated a little and said..thanks!
I am starting to get snars from people at work. Some people say things like in a positive forum though.....Hey you are getting thin! Your clothes are hangin off you?
I work in an office of people that all that they do is eat all day and like I used to do...complain that they are in the next size up.
I know how to ignore them but, I just wish that they would be just more supportive or NOT say anything at all to me.

Thanks for listening or reading.
If you anyone else has thoughts, ideas or stories.....please do tell.

It kinda reminds me of when someone has quit smoking someone is always right there trying to entice them back to taking one more smoke. My husband is an ex-smoker and he says "exactly." I'm not sure why people do that but they will say "Wow, you look great! How'd you do that?" Then a little while later bring out a big dessert and say, "You're going to have some aren't you?"

Hmmmm, my friends and co-workers know I've been following this way of eating for a long time, so when we are together, they don't even bother to offer me anything off plan. If a plate of cookies is being passed around, they go all the way around me. Do I feel snubbed? No! I feel loved, because they are respecting the way I eat, and go out of their way to keep the stuff away from me. Guess I've got it good!
