Over weight women at work...talking about exercise

Muckie

Im working in an Office on a Tech Desk.

Number of women on the desk too, 3 over weight girls, love to talk about their
"spin classes", which they half do for a while, come in the next day...all ratty..

But Jesus, they keep mentioning, how they are going to cut out this, and then start some other fitness regime.

I eat a few biscuits (skinny fecker that i am..lucky enough always have been).
But if i offer them around, told "oh cant eat those, but they do anyway)

Also there's a fit girl who drinks coke, eats chocolate, they go to town on her, "coke is sooo bad for you..etc..)

But then i'd be a b*stard for making the fat girls cry!

Thank you Muckie, that was very insightful.

Get a job in construction OP. You seem way to manly for an office job.

So, they make some kind of effort to lose weight, by going to spin classes, and you slag them off for slipping up?

They sound like they are kind of stuck in a vicious circle. They know they are fat, want to be slim like they were at their debs, but they just love biscuits too much.

They probably didn't post in the "Horriblist biscuits" thread as they find all biscuits irresistibly delicious.

How dare they

That's hilarious you're trying to make fun of their spelling

This is going to be like the teachers holiday thread I can tell they usually are, they always attract posters with a slightly cranky obsession about women and their weight.

They probably only do one spin class a week and are ratty because they haven't lost a stone after it. These type of people irritate the sh!te out of me. Stop being so lazy, the weight didn't go on in 24 hours it's not going to come off in 24hours...........aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrggghhhhh

It must be great to be so perfect lads :rolleyes:

To be honest, I kind of understand where the OP is coming from. I hate people judging me on what I eat. My mam struggles with her weight and is always on weight watchers/slimming world diets etc. While she is on them diets, she comments on everything I eat.

'Ohhhh...real butter you shouldn't be eating that. Oh now, I can't eat that. How many syns is in that, would you not try my fat free jelly?'

If you are on a diet and trying to lose weight fair play, but don't lecher me on what I eat when you're the fat one.

Oh you must be an enraged fatty, sorry about that.

Go have a Mars bar to settle down.

OP
Don't be so judgemental.

It's none of your business what they eat or how much they weigh, and office chat is inane and mind numbing regardless of what the conversation topic is.

The person I sit next to feels the need to read me headlines from the Daily Mail website every 20 minutes. That's the joy of working in an open plan office. I get my revenge on her by showing her XKCD comics and watching the blank look on her face

The funny thing is, you're better off with real butter and ****ing lard. Fills you up and satisfies cravings. No point eating rice cakes and "diet" granola bars all day. Then out of desperation, running off to get getting a delivery of a kebab and chips

someone on the internet called me fat!!!

What a lovely thread.

Though spin classes were for really fit people to pedal like hell and sweat like a pig.

Pedalling a static bike for an hour or whatever is fairly useless I'd imagine unless you're really giving it the beans.

People tend to talk about whats on their mind, and if they're currently focused on diet and food, they'll talk about this. The problem is when someone doesn't filter their comments and just says everything that pops into their brain.

It could also be one of the consequences of being on a calorie restricted diet is a loss of impulse control. There is loads of scientific evidence that people have lower self control when they're hungry.

I don't care if some women are fat, what I don't like is their disdain for the fit\model\celeb types,

"she is way too skinny"
"I'd be fit too if I had all the spare time she has"
"they hardly eat that's why they are so skinny" (no **** sherlock)
"we'll see what she looks like after having 2 kids"

put down the fork & get out walking or shut the Fu*k up:D

Muckie dearest, what is it you want to discuss here?

It can be irritating to listen to people bemoan their weight when they do nothing, or little, about it.

Many moons ago I was in the staff canteen and overheard an overweight colleague complaining about her inability to lose weight and I could only think 'that Twix probably isn't helping'. The kicker - we worked in a gym. She could have walked out the door of the canteen and found someone who was qualified to give her an exercise regime and a diet plan within 30 seconds. She wouldn't even have had to pay to use the gym, but she'd rather complain about it while stuffing her face with chocolate.

One thing I have noticed about fad dieter and yo-yo dieters is they think themselves experts on nutrition.
One girl in work tried to educate a school friend of min. This friend is incredibly athletic, has been interested in fitness since he was a kid, and is a fitness instructor. While he would not even claim to be an expert, some of the knowledge these girls tried to bestow upon him was hilarious. In fairness and for balance I have seen guys do the same thing.

I've a feeling they weren't. :rolleyes:

Obesity is directly related to food, not exercise. It doesn't matter how many fitness programs they engage in, as fitness can only accelerate weight loss, but doesn't get to the core of the problem - the quantity of calories you're consuming per day, regardless of the food. For instance, you could easily become overweight by eating too much fruit and "low fat" products. What matters is caloric count not how many vitamins the food confers.

These gluttonous pigs hope to have the same diet, with a few small trimmings to make it look like a genuine concerted effort, while all the time doing a fitness program. They want the best of both worlds and they'll never get it. That's why they keep on failing and will continue to fail in the future.

Yeah that's what I'm talking about. My mam always falls off the bandwagon. She won't listen to me atal. I went to a PT a few years back, best thing I ever did because he sorted out my diet. I was doing it wrong. And I hate the term 'diet', everyone is 'on a diet', a diet being what you eat everyday. If yuo want to lose weight and keep it off, it needs to be a lifestyle change, not just a quick fix thing you can't stick to long term.

I just hate people who comment on what I eat and in my case it is women who start these 'diets'. One lady started WW's in the office and I think she thinks she's a nutritionist. Just please, do not comment and what I stuff my gob with. It really grinds my gears.

I thought that was more what the OP meant rather than berating the ladies for trying to lose weight.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't - if you're fat, you're fair game for anybody who happens to feel like bitching a bit, both online and in real life.

Hate to break it to you, but in my case, exercise did and still does make all the difference.
Weight is NOT about the calories you consume, it's about the calories you take in vs the calories you burn. So you can either take in less calories, or you can burn more. Either way, it will tip the scales the right way.
People will point out that they find it easier to not eat 300cal rather than go for an hour's cycle, but at the end of the day that really is personal preference more than anything.

Muckie

Thats it 100%, Christy, i probably didnt express that point well.

I think its great, that they have these plans, it just they sh*the on about it, pick on skinner people

who eat the odd treat.

Maybe ranting & raving would have been a better place for it

I love seeing some women in the gym. My god the excuses they come up with NOT to do anything are incredible. usually the best one is "thats too hard, ll never be able to do that". They will then proceed to not do it, or any other exercise that the instructor asks, and then complain after the class that they get nothing out of it. This is all too regular occurence at a class I attend.

Yes, it is hard, that's the point. You are not going to see any benefits unless you give it a go.

I have no doubt that these are the types then that will tell all and sundry how they did 2 TRX classes and 2 spin classes and aren't losing a gram.

Personally I loved the ones who stand at the back of the class having a chat and going through the motions rather than actually exerting themselves, then they complain to the instructor that the class wasn't much good today.

Bingo.

This isn't really a discussion, it's just a bitch and moan about the fatties.
