what do I say to this girl??
I work with this girl who can't keep her mouth shut about health and diet. She knows I am a low-carber and constantly talks about how "just eating healthy better for you". She uses the word "they" a lot too. It drives me nuts "you know they say black tea is bad for you...it's not as good for you as green tea...but i don't like that stuff, it tastes sick"...."they say not eating carbs is bad for you". I can't get through to her, she is a total numbskull. She is about a size 8 (complains when she buys in the junior department that she has to buy 11's), average height, weighs 130 (she told me) and still wants to be "115...that is a perfect weight". No matter how many times I tell her that I DO eat carbs, that some people, like me, have insulin problems and truly need to limit starches and sugars, she still wants to tell me to eat low fat, low cal. I'd love to tell her that I eat 2500 calories a day, over 100gs of fat and lose weight. She would have a cow! She also likes to preach about how children should not eat eggs and meat so much, and that she "eats a lot of fruit, and sometimes meat maybe 2 times a week" and has kept her weight down. Keep in mind this girl is extremely close minded and will not accept words from anyone unless she sees it in the bible or a women's magazine. She criticizes anyone who is not like her (thin, big boobed, young, with a child). I just want her to shut up or at least accept that maybe there is more than one way to feed your body.
