[quote=Anonymous][quote][quote]I find it really hard to believe multiple women at OPs work are commenting on her food. No one would care that much even if OP eats like a pig from a trough. What is more likely is that maybe OP thinks they stare or give eachother looks or maybe nothing happens at all- but OP assumes this is the dialogue in their heads or behind her back because they are "skinny" and eat differently than her.

When I was 18 and skinny, multiple coworkers commented on my food and appearance. So I don't find this super unlikely. It was about being young and sticking out in other ways that made it easy to pick on me as much as it was about my food choices. You can definitely have workplace dynamics where one person gets negatively singled out, but you can also do things to shut it down.

Yup.  I serious am beginning to doubt the veracity of all these PP that are shocked, SHOCKED, that any coworker could mention eating habits.

I am completely and admittedly a sweet tooth.  I am (or was, thank you pandemic pounds!) a heathy-looking maybe even slim-ish 140-145 at 5' 9". Basically every work event (well OK, every other event) someone will ask when I'm getting dessert, seconds, etc.  My co-workers will sometimes email me when there are candy/treats out in the common area.  Until recently, I was relatively slim and didn't really care (and heck, sometimes liked the heads up!)  But the idea that folks [i]don't [/i]comment on women's' diets, is, well, utterly untrue.  I wonder how I'll feel about all of this, say, upon returning in summer 2021 with another 6-8 lbs on me?  And then I'll get told any sensitivity is "my fault" or somehow indicative of "[i]my [/i]eating disorder"?  :roll:
