Body
I finally hit the weight that I wanted to start at for my final 20 kilos to go challenge. Christmas/New Year/holidays added 3-4 kilos to that and it has taken me the whole of January to get it off again. But with my final goal at 65kg, I needed to get back to 85kg to even start. This morning the scales read 84.5. Thank God! I am ready to start. I am officially starting tomorrow because I will use today to do all my measurements and photos. Gah! That means getting into my undies. Be forewarned peoples!
Spirit
My spirit is down lately. I restarted work and was excited about a new year. A new start. A new team. But, on Day one it was obvious that everyone just stepped back into their 2011 places. My "friends" are 4 girls that are all much younger than me (we have a small staff and they are the girls closest to my age). I really like them all and love their personalities. The problem is that they constantly leave me behind and in the dark. We have been back for 3 days and this has already happened twice. The first one was that last year I suggested that we all go on an overseas trip together. That I would ring my educational tour company and organise something. When they got back they had already booked a trip to Vanuatu for Easter without me. One of them said, "Oh! You didn't want to come did you? The flights are already pretty booked out". Charming! The second one was last night. We had welcome back drinks for our workplace at one bar and a whole town welcome back at another bar. At one point, one of my friends said "we are going to start at Bar 1 and head to Bar 2". Cool. But 2 and a half hours after the meeting time, I messaged them and they let me know that they had all decided to go to Bar 2 first instead. Thanks for letting me know.
So my question to you - Am I being paranoid? Or are my "friends" not really "friends"?
Boy! I needed to vent that. See ya tomorrow.
They are being rude.....not good at all.
ReplyDeleteYour friends are not being good friends at all. They are very inconsiderate of your feelings. It may be time to look elsewhere for friendship.
ReplyDeleteIt looks to me like they are NOT your friends at all.
ReplyDeleteThey are being downright nasty in fact.
Please find new 'friends', cos those 4 ain't.
In fact, their behaviour is exactly like that of school girls... being nice to your face, and sniggering behind your back.
You don't need freinds like that in your life.
Shame you have to work with them still in fact.
Sounds like a subtle case of bullying to me. It is nasty bitchy behaviour and they are deliberately excluding you for whatever reason. Find new friends.
ReplyDeleteYou are not being paranoid, they sound a bit like mean girls to me. They are obviously a bit immature and not very nice. Maybe just keep being friendly and enjoy their company at work, but don't depend on them as friends. You deserve much better friends than them!
ReplyDeleteHi Great job getting back to your weight!!I too need to lose about 20 kilos so will be following..Toss those workmates as friends. I know this is a late comment but just catching up after an absence:)
ReplyDeleteWith friends like that a person sure wouldn't need enemies. Agree with what the others have said, but will add I sure wouldn't be spending time with people who treated me like that. You certainly deserve better as their actions are completely inconsiderate, rude, and these are two things that are not part of real friendships. Agree with Chris H, in regards to the need to leave this group and form some friendships with people who treat you properly.
ReplyDeleteDitch the friends that ditched you...mean girls! You're doing great on the WL!!! -LBG
