Back to work = Back to nesting!

YAY!  My job that laid me off last year (that I loved) had an opening at their corporate office up here in Nor Cal and they hired me back.  I'm so happy to be back.

Now I have a little rant. 

So one of my co-workers asked if anyone wanted to jump on the weight loss bandwagon and do WW together.  She said she can't afford to go to meetings so lets just be supportive here and count points.  Ok fine.  Well today she brought in a scale and wants everyone to weigh in so she can keep track of everyones weights.  Whoa!  I will be totally honest about how much I'm losing or if I gain but FVck that!  I do not want people knowing how fat I am.  LOL  Does anyone else think thats kinda strange?  And would you be cool with that?

 

Re: Back to work = Back to nesting!

  • Um, that's a hell no I would not be cool with that.  I think the loss/gain thing is ok for public knowledge but how many lbs I'm sporting is between me and God.

  • oh god, she just basically forced me on the scale.  I was so embarassed I wanted to throw up!  Maybe that will be motivation for me.   She gave me this whole motivational speech about this being the start of a new day and the 1st day of the rest of my life.  I wanted to punch her. LOL
  • Oh wow! You are much braver than me! I would have cried and faked cramps to get out of it.

  • I've been doing WW for a few months and I'll be happy to share how much I've lost but no one but the WW employee knows my exact weight. My best friend was doing it with me and I don't even tell her.
  • Honestly, I would have completely backed out of the contest at that point. That info is way too personal for the workplace IMO
  • I know and as mortifying as it was, I'm going to try to use that as motivation.  Luckily she didnt say "damn!" or anything. 

  • Welcome back!! Your DD is too adorable Smile

    Regarding the WW... umm Hell to the na Susan Powers!!

    I like my CW's and all, but that's a little too personal. But if it you can use it to help you lose it than more power to you.

  • Hi Jayme!

    Ok here's my take.....My weight is my business.

    Side story. I was in the hospital waiting in pre-op for my c-section and the nurse made my parents and family leave while she asked me personal questions. (ie: My weight, last bowel movement.....you know, fun stuff.) 

    When she asked me my weight I whispered it in her ear. Even Donny doesn't know my weight. I've done a great job keeping my weight a secret thru this whole pregnancy.  So when the nurse is done, my dad walks in, looks at the screen and yells "woah, you weight xyz?? Thats more than me!"

    FML, Thanks dad!

  • Oh Lily, that's not a trauma you bounce back from easily! Hugs!

    PS - I love the name Presley for a girl! I put it on my list of names back in the dark ages when I was pregnant, and the XH vetoed it.  :-(

  • Seriously Pinky, I still replay it in my mind over and over. Donny never said anything about it, but the number was SO HIGH that I wanted to hide under the bed forever.

    Re: Presley's Name. Thank you!  I love it too. Matter of fact, I secretly wanted a girl so bad JUST so I could name her that. haha!
