My Nsv Of The Week



Recommended Posts

Yesterday I wore my skinny leg jeans, a ribbed v-neck white sweater, my black leather jacket, and my pointy-toed black boots. Yeah, I looked hot! Smiling still...

This was the 1st day in the two-weeks where I could really show off my new body and weight-loss to everyone. First, one of the directors chased me down to say how great I looked. That made me smile.

But, the true NSV was from the group of women that I truly cannot stand. These women are a clique and spread hateful gossip like WILDFIRE! These women haven't said a single word to me since my return to work 2-weeks ago. But, they do stare at me.

So yesterday I'm in an early morning meeting with one of them discussing a new priority project. One of the key-cliquer's is in the meeting. She watches me get up and then looks me up and down with her mouth gapping....does she not think I cannot see this? I'm laughing inside and keeping a straight face while talkikng with my boss.

Then another cliquer walked in and I get the same reaction from her...looking me up and down with a gapping mouth, but not saying a word. I act like I don't see her, but she goes over to her clique-mate and they start whispering. I'm sure they are talking about how I took the easy road by surgery, but I don't care.

My take-away from this...the joy of seeing them look me up and down in shock over my current transformation. Just wait girlies....there is more to come!

Good for you for pretending you didn't see them! They are so childish. Yuck. I also can't stand women like that. Eeew! Congratulations on your weightloss! Great NSV.

Sometimes it's the little things that give you the most satisfaction, isn't it!?! :) Who CARES if you took the "easy way" by having surgery? The results are the same...and so is the work once you get started. You are rocking your sleeve! Good for you!!

BTW, I'm catty enough that I might have had to swing my booty a little extra for them! ;)

That is most awsome. I only wish you could have took a picture of their faces!

I have had the luck of an office full of people who have been polite for the most part - I even had a guy in the warehouse that commented I might need to be careful so I won't blow away (I was on top of a tall crate and the wind was blowing). There was even a joke (emabrassing but funny in hindsight) that our company waited till I returned to add a nepotism policy - just to be safe.

One of the things I am beginning to notice is how I am treated when no one knows...just normal, I blend in with the crowd.

Thanks everyone.

I know I should take the upper road on this one, but I am truly sick of these women and the drama they bring to our office. It's ugly behavior on their part, and I will not become one of them. I've always felt you treat people the way you want to be treated.

That being said, when I started in this job almosts 4-years ago the one key cliquer befriended me. I truly thought she was a friend I could confide in. I realized within a year how she was talking badly about me and telling this to her group.

At this point I've not confronted her and one other, but I've come to the conclusion that when I resign this year, I will ask for extra exit interviews with her and the other, and I will speak my mind about their ugly behavior.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
