Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004a funny... mildly OT
One of my Thursday students is a girl scout, and I don't think I need to tell you what that means. She's also one of my special needs students, and so, yes, I made the purchase. I bought several boxes, and they came Thursday - in one large box. NO, *I* am not eating them. My husband got two boxes that he took in to work for his work munchies (he's stick skinny, folks) and the rest of them went to a foodbank. I know, I know - pushing carbs - but I know that not everyone has issues, and I'm not one to make others conform. So, at any rate, as I was walking out of the building with my arms laden (two bags of music, my back bag full of music and supplies, and the carton box of GS cookies) I was feeling GUILTY, because in past years, I wouldn't have purchased more than one box. Why? Because as a fat lady, one shouldn't be SEEN with such things! Still thinking that way, I have to add - but then again, I'm still fat, so... And you should have SEEN the looks I was getting... enough to boil oil, which I found amusing, since it's been a week, and I've not touched a single one - in fact, they're all out of the house. Still, I found myself slinking into the parking lot feeling like crap. 347/260/180 (first goal) Since 8/5/02  SignatureNancy Howells (don't forget to switch it, and replace the ;) to send mail). > Still, I found myself slinking into the parking lot feeling like > crap. What, you helped a lot of people out and you feel bad about it? *You* know what you did was good, don't worry about what you think other people think about it. > One of my Thursday students is a girl scout, and I don't think I need to > tell you what that means.

Situations are not what they seem. SignatureJean B. > > One of my Thursday students is a girl scout, and I don't think I need to > > tell you what that means.

Hm... well, I would point out that in *my* world, situations are exactly as they seem. Sometimes. In case you aren't up on the world of classical singing, an elite singer (Deborah Voight, someone I'd consider a specialist in certain kinds of repertoire, which means "born to it, not just trained to it") was fired from the Royal Opera House for being too fat. This is my world. *shrug* But, seriously - despite the feelings of incipient non-causal guilt, I still found it rather funny, when I stopped to think about it.

Can't avoid buying the things right now. I always take 'em along to the staff at the gym; these guys are always as hungry as wolves presumably coz they take lots of exercise. I feel that way when I to a restaurant with a buffet. I feel people are think oh no there goes the entire buffet. I usually order from the menu because of feeling this way. > One of my Thursday students is a girl scout, and I don't think I need to > tell you what that means.

YOU know that you did a good thing. That is sometimes the only thanks we will get in this world, and it has to be enough. SignatureEvelyn (To reply to me personally, remove sox) >Still, I >found myself slinking into the parking lot feeling like crap. That's so sad. You shouldn't feel bad. I looked at your tag line, and you've lost 87 pounds! That's impressive. How does anyone you work with know that it's not due to eating Girl Scout cookies? And if any of your co-workers do not recognize the depth of your accomplishment -- the 87 lost pounds -- they are not worthy of your consideration.

Geeze you've lost an adolescent! Can your co-workers > claim as much? Oh, definitely they can. Most of them lose one or two adolescents a term... Sorry - a little "in humor" there. Point of fact, a number of my co-workers have never met me before this year. I work for a music center that serves as mostly a revolving door for a large number of conservatory students who teach for a term or two, and then head off. The voice faculty is different - we generally keep on for awhile, and i've been there for four years. Not a biggie, believe me. I was laughing, actually, because of the sheer ludicrousness of it all. I really do/did find it funny in an very odd way. SignatureNancy Howells (don't forget to switch it, and replace the ;) to send mail). > > What they said. Geeze you've lost an adolescent!

Actually, I'm in the same boat - I work at a military base, and there's a lot of turnover as the military folks transfer in and out. Honestly, being near goal weight and having people not know where I started isn't that much better (in some ways) when it comes to other people's reactions/opinions. If I refuse some homemade treat that is being offered around, and say that I'm on Atkins, they tend to either look at me either with disbelief (like they think I'm making it up) or disgust (like they think I'm being overly obsessive about my weight, for no reason). So I guess it's no-win. Either people are disgusted with you because they think you're too heavy and think you're *not* doing anything about it, or they think you're anal-retentive because you're thin but still 'dieting'. But ya know what - I'm not about to gain back 20 pounds every time a new person comes along, just to prove to them that I *do* have to watch everything that goes into my mouth, <g>. I can see the humor in the situation you described, though - especially since they don't know where you started. You have done SO well - who cares what anyone else thinks!
