I apologize now if the subject offended you.
I do not use the term "retarded" often, and since my father drives
developmentally challenged people for a living, I certainly use the PC terms
when referring to someone who is differently abled.

But this post doesn't apply to someone who has a legitimate disability, but
it does apply to the big man who at work is called my "supervisor".

Back in October (late oct) when I decided to go on the first phase of the
Atkins diet, I was greeted with nothing but jokes and junk from my so called
"manager".
I should point out that he is about six feet tall, and weighs about 280lbs.
He is not in shape at all, and has had two hernia's in this lifetime of
being out of shape. Absolutely no muscle on him, and he is constantly in
terrible shape.

he made fun of me so much... over and over.

"You know what diet _I_ follow"? he would say.
"what" I would ask
"CANADA FOOD GUIDE".

I got so sick of this, one day I shot back "thanks, I will be sure to avoid
that one then since it gave you the great results you are seeing today".

"Oh, Atkins doesn't work for me. I am constantly hungry" he said, to which I
answered that he was doing the diet wrong.

after about a month of induction, after there were visible changes on me, he
announced he was going to do the southbeach diet, and now he has started
that diet.

So he went from putting down a relatively safe and well established diet, to
going on the least proven but still effective low carb eating plan.

Nice huh?
This is the garbage I am constantly putting up with here at work.
