to think my colleague should just admit she is on weight loss injections?

@WeirdyBeardyMarrowBabyLadyyep just this. Couple of other threads by the same poster would suggest the same.

Nah she doesn’t. I think you’ve just not got the response you wanted.

This^
congratulations on your success

Don't you dare say anything. It's none of your business. She doesn't owe you an explanation.

OP appears to be mad about her colleague continually gloating and putting down others for their "bad" diet choices, which is even more egregious when she hasn't suddenly adopted healthier choices through the "willpower" she tells others to have but is getting help.

In the same way as in my example further up, if I went around lecturing people with unmedicated ADHD on the importance of staying organised and concentrating, when actually the only reason I manage is with meds.

I don't think your colleague has to admit anything to you. Mind your own business.

Most unlikely

yabu in that you’ve picked the wrong thing to object to. Her telling people they shouldn’t have snacks is outright rude. That is something to be annoyed about. It frustrates me that so many people harbour the belief that all women must want to lose weight. I’d be finding a polite way to tell her to piss off (I’m not good with confrontation).

The injection isn’t relevant. And I agree with PPs that it is more likely to be insulin. You say you know all about her health problems and that she is not diabetic, but you also say that you know she is on weight loss injections and is keeping that from you. How can you be so certain she is lying by omission about weight loss injections, while also being equally certain there is no way she’d be lying by omission about diabetes. Surely you can see the contradiction? It’s entirely possible she is embarrassed to admit to diabetes caused by obesity.

The injections are posted to you in a cooling bag. Once opened, it can be kept at room temperature but with it being so hot recently, no one is going to risk carrying it in their bag. I’m confused by this story.

Christ, stop whinging on here and woman up then.

TELL her you'll eat what you want, when you want and you don't want to hear anymore from her on the subject of food.

The end.

It's none of your business

Honestly OP just bloody ask her to not comment on your food any more. It isn't hard. Just ask as simply as that - Sally I would really appreciate it if you could stop commenting on what I'm eating and/or should be eating instead. I find it irritating/upsetting/tedious.

The End.

Op, you dont sound like a very nice person tbh

Whether this woman is on WLI or not, its not really the point is it?

The point is, you think you have seen something to "trip this woman up " and have rushed to MN to gloat and try to get validated in you "outing her"

I probably bore the arses of the lass I work with, Ive been battling my weight for over two years now - and believe me they are the first to hear when Ive gained a pound !! Im doing it the old fashioned way ( Id take WLI like a shot if I was eligible ) and its fecking hard, it takes a lot of effort, and Im also bloody proud of how far Ive come , but I do grump and knock myself if Im having a bad week

And Im sure the girls I work with are sick of hearing it, probably about as how sick as I am of hearing how tired they are, how they cant be arsed and all the wee dramas in their lives

But we say nowt, listen and support. take it as part and parcel of spending more then enough time with people you probably would never choose to

If it really bothers you, then tell her directly - " I dont need advice from a lay person about my diet and eating habits thank you - keep your opinions to yourself and we won't be falling out". That's the grown up way

You are painting such a bad picture of yourself here

Coming in late here, but I think the fact that the OP has taken to implying that those who disagree with her are on MJ, like it's some kind of devilishly clever gotcha, might suggest where her real feelings about WLIs lie.

These people can never keep up the facade can they? The mask always drops sooner or later.

Agree!

So fucking what though? It's not a reason to look for something to try to shame her about, which is ultimately what's going on here. People mad about fat person losing weight, again.

This is like the Yorkshire Tea advert, Sarah Lancashire needs to review the cctv footage and point out you are all criminals and eating your own biscuits.

She would carry it round with her if she was diabetic. WLI still require some willpower and exercise and a change in diet, they are not a miracle cure for obesity. OP, keep your nose out, it’s none of your business

Yup, bollocks.

@Carpedimum no, WLI pens don’t need to be refrigerated once they are in use, they can be kept at room temp. Both Wegovy and Mounjaro. So that aspect of it is irrelevant.

Maybe this women did have a WLI pen in her bag because she’s a bit odd. It’s irrelevant! The OP just needs to tell her colleague to stop talking about food! It’s that simple. But the OP seems to be enjoying winding peiple up, so I guess the thread is about that now.

But hang on - I thought you were saying she should “just admit it”. If you think she’s having to cover it up at home, surely you understand why she wouldn’t “just admit it” at work? Your contradicting yourself.

It’s much more likely to have been an epi-pen or similar because the weight loss meds need to be kept refrigerated and there’d be no need to take it out of the house.

We’ve gathered that… we just don’t understand why she can’t just ask her colleague not to comment on her snacks.

or she is diabetic. I developed sudden onset diabetes at the age of 28. I was already thin and couldn’t explain the rapped weight loss I was experiencing that didn’t stop for months after I was diagnosed. I could tell loads of people were talking about me behind my back. people should mind their business.

Of course, it is by diet and exercise but these injections help with the cravings, making it easier to diet.

I think op is annoyed due to her colleague repeatedly telling others to not snack.
