Fat people at work

I’d have left the stall door open and let them see it all, including if i had my period and had to empty my cup. Ya wanna see? WATCH! Gender be damned.

I worked at a small mom-n-pop store and was watched all the time as well. Owner was paranoid, but the bathroom was the only place, like you, where I could “breathe”. Close my eyes and let my face emote all that I’m forced to hide from the public. And sometimes have “silent movie” rants lol

I wondered this as well…


(Susan) #144

Because I am at the entrance and see everyone coming in.


(Jane) #145

Well I could see you watching them bring a box of pastries in when they come to work, but do they walk up to the entrance and munch on their salads in front of you? :laughing:

I’m also trying to visualize how you “sneak” peanut butter while being watched on a camera - it isn’t easy to eat! Or cottage cheese, yogurt and tuna with mayo unless you have a small fridge under your desk.

Hopefully you have cut out the carbage and eating more at your meals so you can stop snacking. Not good for your health or insulin and you could be a thin TOFI

Right now I just had eggs and cream cheese for breakfast.

Good!

I think salads are a misunderstood dish. They are often painted in a rather vile light. They are presented as healthy, but then you are told to have them with little to no dressing, or that they come in as higher calorie than many other items on menus. And I hate it when I hear a guy say I don’t want to date a woman who eats salads. Like all people who eat them only do so out of shame, or only do it because they think they are good for them, but are really secretly doing it to punish them selves and would rather be eating anything else.

Anyway I have been a eating a salad for breakfast. It is fast and easy, I am lazy and don’t really enjoy cooking. It comes in at about the same number of calories that I was eating before with a frozen breakfast burrito. A hard boiled egg, some chicken or bacon, mushrooms, cheese, a little bit of tomato and onion for color and flavor and a nice vinaigrette, and I get more greens in my day. (Not looking to go down the antinutrient rabbit hole.)

Carrots are very high in carbs.


(Susan) #151

Agreed --you would use up the total 20 grams allowed daily if you eat any.


(Jane) #152

Sounds delicious!!!

I’ve never had salad for breakfast until eating at a local “fresh, locally sourced” breakfast place in Little Rock. Trendy. Run by young, energetic kids. Love it!!!

I had an egg dish with fresh greens as the side instead of toast or potatoes. Was a refreshing option!!! Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Then again maybe you shouldn’t! :joy::joy::cowboy_hat_face:

Salad eating in the morning is fun.

Wake up. Bare foot. Go outside to get some morning sunlight (I heard the other way to do this - from Chris Kelly via Nourish Balance Thrive podcast - was that most people have a cuppa in the morning, so take the cuppa outside and walk around). I walk through the potted and planted vegetables pruning off leaves, snipping odd snow peas (they never make it back inside), picking ripe cherry tomatoes, picking the blueberries and strawberries, I’ll grab an avocado for later, maybe some mulberries, harvest a cabbage to make some sauerkraut… I get to water the plants and thank them for the fruit. It’s all seasonal and local and straight off the plant. If I have too much ripe at one time, I’ll take a box of produce to share - put it next to the donuts and bagels.My wife complains that our vegetable garden does not seem to be very productive (she’s usually already at work by 7am). I agree with her that the snow peas never seem to produce much.

I have a biggie with hot and cold meals. I love hot meals. A salad was always cold and not inviting to me. Hot steaming juicy comforting meals always take priority over anything cold to me. Even in summer serve me up the BBQ from the grill.


(Susan) #156

To me a salad is something you have before dinner. Lettuce is 97 percent water,
it’s not a real meal.


(Jack Bennett) #157

You can fix that problem with bacon bits, healthy dressing (avocado, coconut, or olive oil based), chopped chicken or steak, etc. :grinning::seedling:


#158

I always think putting my food that eats that food on top of the food it eats is just useless HAHA Eat the meat, ditch the gut bloaters. Veggies are vicious to many.


(Susan) #159

I think salad is boring to eat. It doesn’t thrill me. I like to eat food that thrills me .


#160

great thought…I do too :slight_smile: I like to walk away thrilled with my meal and I do all the time. A bowl of weeds doesn’t have that effect on me LOL


(Jack Bennett) #161

If I add enough of my homemade ranch or Caesar dressing and some pulled chicken or beef, the most boring salad becomes thrilling to me.

But if the greens disagree with your system or make you sick, that’s a perfect reason to avoid them.
