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

[betnet]

At work we have all noticed Sally has lost a lot of weight in the past few months. She is always talking about diets and what she eats and does not eat anymore and makes a big deal about avoiding the biscuit tin in the kitchen. She keeps saying it is just willpower and cutting out snacks.

Last week I walked past her desk, her bag was open, and there was one of those weight loss injection pens in plain sight.

Now I cannot unsee it and every time she goes on about her self control it feels performative.

I am not saying she has to announce it to the whole office, but when she is preaching about anyone can do it if they just try it feels a bit dishonest.

AIBU to think she should either be upfront or just stop making a song and dance about how she has done it all naturally?

But right at the top of her bag so that anyone walking past might “just happen” to see it?

GDPR??😂What data has the data subject given the OP, how has she processed it and where is she storing it??

How about you? Do you need to lose weight?

I have an epi-pen I carry everywhere….

That made me laugh too 😂

I don't think.it is anything to do with anyone else, although it would annoy me if someone was professing it was all to.do with diet and will power

Leave the thread if it is bothering you that much. No one is forcing you to stay here.

Maybe go get a snack or something and calm down.

Are you 8 years old with your childish and ineffective attempts at witty repartee?

Cringing for you.

Wegovy pen definitely requires fridge storage, btw, from the manufacturer's website, like I suspected.

😂

OP, if you weren't sensitive about your own weight, this woman (and what she's doing or not doing, or whatever she says about biscuits yadda yadda) wouldn't even register with you. Yet here you are posting on MN about whether someone is on MJ or not. Who cares?

As I said, if you're that bothered, go on MJ yourself. Christ on a bike.

In the meantime, in the minuscule event that this office woman is real, just tell her you know she's in MJ because it's in her bag. Give me strength! Are you all 6?

Why would you need a thread about any of this?

Obviously she doesn't have to disclose anything to you. But people who go on and on about their bloody diets are boring. I also think people who harp on it about are inviting judgement from others.

No. Do you usually assume people are lecturing when you read things online?

Once a Mounjaro pen is in use, it can be stored out of the fridges for up to 30 days. Unopened they should be in the fridge.

Do you need to lose weight? Why don't you get on it?

People can start threads for whatever reasons they like. You are not MNHQ.

Thank you. A lot of people seem very confused.

Sorry wrong thread 🙁

Nah, just can’t see any reason why someone would carry a WLI pen around with them. It’s nonsensical.

I also can’t see any reason why you can’t just use your big girl words and say ‘please stop commenting on my diet, it’s tedious’.

In the normal world when random woman in office loses weight ...

"Hey Pam are you on the MJ? It's working, you're looking fab! Good for you."

In OP's world -

"How dare she. She is LYING. LYING I tell you. I must start a thread to slag this outrageous weight-losing person off. No I'm not jealous at all. Noooo! Jealous me? What makes you all think that?"

You have posted this in the wrong place.

You really need the MJ, huh?

She might be hiding it from her family. She has said they give her a hard time about her weight.

Just because you can't see a reason doesn't mean there isn't one.

It’s none of your business.

And as I have said twice (at least) upthread, what would she do with it she had to go home from work? Where would she store it at evenings and weekends? And why would she keep it visible at the top of her bag, rather than hid away at the bottom/in a pocket of the bag?
