To think my colleague has put me on a diet?

[sayyouwill]

lighthearted

So in my office there is one girl who has nominated herself as the ‘lunch getter’ as she is the* only one who has the time to actually leave the building on her break. She is the most junior so has a lighter workload than the rest of us. The rest of us just eat at our desk or take 10 mins where we can. We have nowhere to store food from home either so I tend not to bring* it in.
Anyways, so every time I* tell her what I want, ‘conveniently’ the shop doesn’t have it or she gets me the ‘light’ or ‘diet’ version by ‘mistake’. Even if there are 3 of us having the same sandwich, she’ll give the other two* theirs and mine will be the ‘light’ version!

Thing is... I’m* not even big!! I’m a size 12 so not super super skinny, but I go to the gym 3 times a week and don’t eat a lot of crap. I’m genuinely staring to think that she is trying to ‘thin me down’ or something!*

So, AIBU to start fattening her up? She’s* a tiny little thing and I* think it would be sweet revenge...

No wonder young girls have issues with appearances if a size 12 is considered fat by adults these days.
Good grief i would love to be a size 12 again!

Cruel world. I'm a size 6/8 and still think twice about what I eat. Not proud of it, not too stressed about it.

What the fuck

[reallyanotherone]

If it's an M&S size 12 you are definitely fat, OP. Unless maybe you're 6ft.

Fuck off.

Oh dear. Sweetheart you can call me what you want. As I’ve said, I’m very comfortable in my own skin, sad to see that you obviously aren’t if you are warped to think that everyone must be a size 0

[Topseyt]

M & S size 12 isn't fat. Fuck that idea.

[AdoraBell]

Do you give her money in advance? If not then just say - oh, thanks but I really don’t like that type, I’ll pass. Or start taking food in a small food bag. A frozen bottle of water will keep stuff cool.

[mikeyssister]

Tell her no substitutions, get nothing if she can't get what you as for?

[NewPapaGuinea]

Eating Al Desko is not healthy, so take your entitled lunch break and buy and eat it in peace.

[Hebenon]

Just say 'sorry, I'm going to go out and get my own lunch as you keep getting me things I don't like and I want to choose it myself'. There you are. Job done.

[Jenala]

Take your own lunch in a small insulated lunch box with an ice pack in.

[pinkliquorice]

If she’s bringing you an apple when you asked for a muffin then she’s being rude.
If she’s bringing you a Diet Coke when you asked for a coke or a reduced fat tuna sandwich when you asked for the tuna sandwich, I do t see the problem.
Have you specified that you only like full fat, full sugar food?
If it’s offending you I would ask her about it, if she’s insulting and dosnt stop then I would start bringing my own lunch.

[NoSquirrels]

If 3 of you want a tuna mayo baguette, she'd bring 2 of those, and then a tuna wrap with salad, is that the sort of thing? Or 2 cans of Coke and 1 can of Diet Coke?

In that situation, I'd ask someone to swap with me. And if they moaned/asked why, I'd say I REALLY DON'T LIKE the diet versions, thanks very much.

And rinse/repeat as often as needed.

Very odd of her!

[frieda909]

I’m so curious about what kind of person seemingly gets a kick out of telling a total stranger, who they’ve never even seen before, that they’re fat and need to lose weight.

It’s happened to me on here a few times too and it’s just so bizarre.

[TeddyBee]

Christ. I’m a 16 and while definitely overweight, I don’t look fat. And I’m 5’2”. What’s with the sizeist comments?

[TheFickleFingerOfFate]

I think she was trying to put an emphasis on some words using bold or strike thru etc but it didn't work.

[TheFickleFingerOfFate]

Stop letting her get your lunch. Either bring something in or go out yourself. You have a lunch break - use it.
