| Insulted I know it is probably a cultural thing but I was really insulted by a co-worker yesterday. He is from an eastern country. I have been on a diet but have only lost 10lbs so far. I have also been sick for the past few months with some as yet undiagnosed illness that causes me to have periodic spells of anemia, nausea and weak muscles. I will be the first to admit that it shows on my face. Anyway he looked at me and in front of a bunch of men said "Are you loosing weight? Your face looks loose. It does not look as good." One of the guys tried to cover up with a joke by calling him a smooth talker but it hurt my feelings none the less. |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Consider the source...men are stupid. I also particularly love it...when one comments...man, you must be exhausted...you look tired. And up until that comment...you felt fine.

Hubby's aunt and uncle when they see me always have a comment. It's not like they are trying to be mean but jesus. I was rail thin when I was younger but I am having some thyroid issues so I have about 15 lbs more than I want..don't want to be rail thin again. Well when I run into them the first thing is "que bien....tu ta gordita". Like WTF I don't need anyone telling me my a$$ is a bit heavier.

| Some people should think before saying anything. Good for you for losing 10 lbs. I hope the Dr's can find out the source of your health problems. Take Care....

| hahhaa Men can be so immature. I am appalled he would say that to you, work is supposed to be a professional environment. I think you need to record this day and all the witnesses around you when this happened because that is a form of HARASSMENT! By the way, I hope you feel better and congratulations! Losing 10 lbs is a great accomplishment! I wish I can do that! |

| I had something similar happen to me, but it was not a co-worker but my BIL, I had just lost 45lbs and he complimented me by saying that I had traded in my pounds for wrinkles..... so don't let that strike it home, some people are just boorish and they will remain that way so you can't let that bother you. BTW congrats on the weight loss, it's not an easy road to be on but so rewarding once you have achieved your goal. Keep up the good work and keep smiling. You'll be a knock out.

| Is English his first langauge? I work with a lot of foreign nurse and sometimes the translation from one language to another just looses something. Let's just hope he didn't mean it as it came out (not that I'm defending the rude a@@)
