My coworkers food addiction is emotionally draining me.
She’s the kind of person that complains all the time that she’s fat, but only eats fast food.
She’s always dumping her personal issues.. even though I’m quick to ignore her or change the subject. “I don’t make enough… I’m so poor… I’m so fat”
Lady will walk in every morning with McDonald’s, eat chips all afternoon, go out and buy 3 tubs of fried food for lunch, and then snack on candy and cake until close. It’s sad really.
I’m in shape and healthy, and she always commenting on my weight and food choices. Whenever I eat lunch or a snack she asks me what I’m eating has to eat herself. I never once comment on her eating habits, although it’s disgusting to smell all the time. She has insulted me for eating healthy has bought junk food “for the office” and tried to influence to me to eat things that my body literally just can’t digest. I turn it down, she acts like I’m stuck up.
This is toxic at this point. At first I was happy to be able to snack and have lunch at my desk, but she’s abusing that privilege and eating herself to death in front of us. I get that food addiction is a mental illness, but her lack of boundaries has worn me thin on caring about her wellbeing like I would for anyone else.
Honestly, she’s so bad at her job anyways, I’m just counting the days until she’s fired. She’s just trashy and unprofessional and considering she can’t not keep her private life private she’s already told me 10 times that the boss has told her he doesn’t think she’s right for this job.
Thanks for listening to me vent.
Edit: There's been a lot of assumption that I'm a health nut because I stay in shape. I wish I liked working out that much. I'm not even super skinny, but I know I have to have a balanced diet and regular exercise to protect my body. I am preachy about it to no one. I'll eat takeout on the weekends and junk food on occasion; I'm not that strict.
