Okay, since we're going on our "rant du jour's" I'll throw mine into the pile.
I have a co-worker who lost a lot of weight (>20 pounds) on Atkins last winter (new year's resolution). I've noticed that she has gained a lot of the weight back, but of course I didn't say anything.
Today at lunchtime a bunch of us chicks were sitting around talking and someone noticed that I had a wonderful salad (iceburg lettuce loaded with broccoli coleslaw, sliced eggs, and pieces of steak leftover from last night) but said that it "looked fattening." So I told this person that I was on Atkins. So the "gaining weight" co-worker overheard and started to rant about how Atkins doesn't work, and that "the minute you go off of it, you just gain all the weight back," blah, blah.
So I gave her a long stare and said, "Yes, I've noticed what happens when you go off of it, and that's why I never intend to. I'm eating this way for life."
"Gaining weight" lady then goes on another tear saying that she could never stay on a diet that didn't allow her to drink beer on weekends. Yeah, and it SHOWS, honey!!
