Food Issues

Thursday, March 11, 2010

I realized that I may have emotional issues surrounding food today, that I didn't think I had before.

Long story made short my boss, when she found out that I had lunch plans with a coworker, told me "You don't come in early just so you can take a lunch everyday."

At first I was angry, then appalled, and now I'm just sad and too scared to go eat (I canceled my lunch plans).

I haven't gotten the chance to talk to her about it yet, but I'm too distraught to eat, and food shouldn't do this to me.

I'm sure she doesn't mean I can't have lunch, but I'm too upset to care what she really meant, because I know what I heard.

The whole thing was an apparent miscommunication, she didn't understand my plans for the day. I used to be a restaurant manager, so taking what she said verbatim about not taking lunch everyday caused me to be appalled. Thank you all for your concern, I do normally go straight to the source/person, but my emotions got the best of me this time. I'm going to work out my frustrations.

It's a shame you canceled your lunch plans and that your boss upset you. But I agree with Jackie, that this isn't a food issue. To me this is a jerky boss and you not standing up for yourself issue. Let yourself calm down and then tomorrow talk with her about it. Know the facts about your rights to have lunch (labor laws, policy when you were hired). And make sure to tell her that you were insulted by what she said. It can be hard to confront people (actually I'm an oddly confrontational woman) but you'll feel better standing up for yourself. And you give her a chance to apologize so that no grudges are held. It is best for you and her. And next time, stand up for yourself right away. You are worth it. Report Inappropriate Comment

I don't think its the food that made you upset I think it was what she said! I don't understand bosses like that!!! I'm sorry she made your day bad and made you cancel your lunch plans :( I hate how jobs become high school when it deals with lunch! Report Inappropriate Comment

I am a boss and i can tell you I would NEVER say that to one of my employees. First of all, there are labor laws that are against that, second of all that's just inconsiderate. I am sorry she made you cancel your plans!! Stay strong, people worth that aren't worth the effort. Report Inappropriate Comment

"...Get back on"

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

This is a quote from tonight's Biggest Loser. Michael stopped on the treadmill and Bob said "What are you doing?" "I felt sick, like I was going to throw up." "Then throw up and get back on." (I changed the title of my blog to just the last part of the quote so no one would assume I think people should physically harm themselves in the interest of fitness. See my comment for more details.)

It made me laugh a little. Later when I was working out and I got a pang in my leg, like I didn't stretch properly, Bob's voice popped into my head "The stretch it out and get back on."

It's a good life philosophy.
- I'm sad ... "Pause and get your heart right, and get back on."
- I ate too much... "Record your food and note where you went wrong, and get back on."
- I don't feel like working out... "Put your shoes on and get back on."

Fill in what you're going through; it's the same adage of falling off a horse and getting back on.

A command to correct the action, then a command to go.

Fix, Go.

It's a good thought.

Great philosophy - "get back on"! Going to keep that one in the forefront of my brain! Report Inappropriate Comment

I have been missing this season's Biggest Loser, but I love both trainers. This is real stuff and it's nice to not have the difficulties of getting healthy sugar coated. It's because of that show that I decided to get back on the right track. If 400lb people can work their butts off and change their life then why can't I?? You would think it's easier to lose 30lbs versus 130lbs, but its still the same road to healthy!! It's tough but you are right Robin...we just need to get back on it! Thank you for the bit of "Biggest Loser" inspiration that I have been missing lately! So how are you liking the game? Report Inappropriate Comment

I am glad you added that little comment about the trainers personal knowledge of him. When I saw that he said that I was like wow that is not even right. Thanks for clarifying! Report Inappropriate Comment

I think that's a great little reminder to keep in the back of your head. Especially when you're feeling thwarted by life in one way or another. :) Report Inappropriate Comment

The show is done under the complete supervision of medical staff. Were Michael actually in any danger, they would never have let him keep going; and I fully believe the trainers knew that. It's in Michael's personality, based on what I've seen in the show, to occasionally get down on himself. That's why I think Bob said what he did, because he knew Michael was going to that place. He wanted Michael to get his head back in the game and keep going. Report Inappropriate Comment

I agree that it's a good philosophy, EXCEPT when you are exercising. If you are ready to throw up when you are exercising you could be having a heart attack. STOP! And then get medical attention. But I agree with you the fix, go is a good way to get through life. Report Inappropriate Comment
