Banded co-worker eats McDonald's every day

McDonald's sausage and eggs may not be good choices for you or me, but it may be a good choice for him. Maybe before the band he was eating 2 Cinnabons, an omelet, sausage, and bacon for Breakfast. Cutting down to just sausage and eggs is definitely a better choice. Just remember that it's all relative. He is probably making the best choices he is mentally ready to make at this point. When you've been fat and eating junk most of your life, it's not realistic to suddenly change all your habits overnight and start eating kelp and bean sprouts. It's a process and some bandsters get there faster than others. Some never get there. And while Jachut has a valid point about the dangers of processed food and preservatives and additives, eating fresh, non-processed foods simply isn't possible for everyone. With my lifestyle, I don't have time to prepare my own food or even to go to the grocery store on a regular basis. I manage to make it to the store about once every 6 weeks (usually at 2 a.m.), and fruits and veggies and fresh meat only last about week. So I'm not going to be judgmental of this guy and say he's making bad choices when those may be the best possible choices for him at this stage in his life.

I agree... I am glad i found this post because I thought it was just me...lol.. I understand that we (I) can't control what other people do but it is amazing that people can tell u what u should and shouldn't eat when they know u are trying to loose weight...

It's funny that this post has come to life again because just last week I was talking to this same co-worker.

He was telling me what I should be eating because when he was 7 months post-op like me he had already lost 140lbs. I have only lost a little over half that. I reminded him that I am a woman...and that I am different than he is. It's working for me, but just at a different rate.

He tried to tell me it's becauese I am exercising too much and my body doesn't want to lose weight. Then he told me that I should stop at McD's every morning, just like him and eat sausage,egg & coffee on the way to work. I tried to explain to him that I can't eat in the morning and I absolutely cannot tolerate eggs anymore. He looks at me like I am crazy...just bc he isn't experiencing it, I must not be either. He then told me that if I had went to his dr, then I wouldn't have those problems. WTF????

Haha! Well, you know what they say......There's only one thing worse than a know-it-all, that's someone who thinks they know it all.:huh2:

I am amazed that he can eat all that in the morning! I am lucky to get anything other than my Protein Shake down before 11:00 a.m.
