Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:53:02 +0000 http://www.wholebodylove.com/?p=952#comment-759 my co-workers make fun of me- they say i eat like a rabbit and pretend to "order food" for me when we are having lunch in days (mostly because of my multiple food allergies). i take it all in stride though and sometimes it is REALLY funny! They'll say stuff like, "hey ann make sure amy's has extra coconut!!!!" i know its all in fun and the only other girl in my department appreciates that although i eat very healthy at lunch and b-fast, i will never let her eat chocolate alone! even if its only a small piece! I guess it would be different if i were working with all women, but guys tend not to say stupid comments out of cattyness and meanness, but rather to be goofy.. my co-workers make fun of me- they say i eat like a rabbit and pretend to “order food” for me when we are having lunch in days (mostly because of my multiple food allergies). i take it all in stride though and sometimes it is REALLY funny!

One woman actually called me a "quack". Huh?? How can anyone argue with eating healthily? My sense is that these people feel bad and wrong about themselves to begin with. When they see someone engaging in a healthy lifestyle they feel attacked, even if that wasn't actually the case. <a href="http://www.bodaweightloss.com" rel="nofollow">BODA lose weight</a> I’ve experienced people getting defensive when they hear I’m a nutritionist.

I wouldn't buy a cheap watch. If you really want it, you should spend the money on it. What do you think it would ADD to your health? http://thespecialktreatment.wordpress.com/2009/05/08/what-you-expect-vs-what-you-accept/ I wrote about this one time…it reminds me of high school, every one watching in terms of insecurity and feelings of competition.

We all feel that way sometimes, I think. But it's hard to feel included when others aren't practicing healthy habits. I totally know what you feel like in being the odd one out.

I would have to leave the room because it just got me. I am always the odd man out and made fun of. I'm not even that healthy I've had almost a whole box of Annie's chocolate chip bunnies hop into my mouth tonight! I LOVE to run too. I could never dissect.

It's annoying and hurtful when comments get said that are totally offbase and hurtful in the process. Believe me, I am a GF, SF, vegan. I get my share. But it's what works for my body. But yes, in certain circles I am soooo far the odd one out. When living in San Diego for the last 5 yrs (just moved to Phoenix) there were other people who were similar and/or just vegan and I had kinda found my tribe in real life. Now, starting over again finding those types.... People make the weirdest assumptions b/c of one’s diet & lifestyle choices and usually they are dead wrong.

You should be proud of them! I sometimes feel in the minority, but being around 33 other dietetic interns, I'm not judged as much. I think that people secretly admire those who choose to eat healthfully. I want a Garmin, but a basic Target watch is good for getting started. I want a Garmin because I'm starting to do longer runs now, and I have no idea what my pace is or exactly how far I'm going. But I've run with a little Target watch FOREVER! :-) Sorry that your boss and coworkers were so rude about your healthy eating habits. You should be proud of them!
