Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: UGHHHH!!! CO-WORKERS!!!

I know it isn't much but they are going to continue to trash their bodies eating that junk. The last office potluck everyone brought this cheese and meat and other junk. I bring hummus and pita chips along with some honey crunch mix. Safe for me and better for them. Long story short something caused food poisoning and the majority of them eating the same crap made it tough to figure out what. I have the veggie tray, bread tray and the stuff I brought as the only things in common. Secretly I was so glad it wasn't me but I know they'll keep eating the crap. Sure I put up with all the teasing but I keep thinking that's muscle and not fat. I can do six flights if stairs and not be winded (four if I have my laptop) and I am happy with the person in the mirror who cheats once and awhile on a piece of really good dark chocolate but savors it over five minutes and does it when there is a project accomplished.

Sooner or later you will have one or two that come around. After three years one of the gals and her husband became vegans. We now share cooking tips and occassionally leftovers at lunch to improve the recipes. The three of us feel better about ourselves diet wise but also keep hope the others will figure out.

Keep your chin up Kappy. Somedays are definitely rougher but it isn't worth cheating and being sick to fit in. Your health is so much more than a slice of breakfast casserole is worth. Too bad you can't have those ruled as offensive smells and have them banned from the office.
