Why not just go and have a seltzer? That way you’re being sociable and sticking to your nutritional standards.

Yeahhhhh.....let me waste 2.5 hours with my team after work all so I can sit around and drink seltzer a skip all of the trash food like sliders, wings, and fries. No thanks. I have a workout to do rather than waste my time getting obese and ruining my liver.

NP - haven't you ever heard of putting in face time? You go, drink seltzer, hang out for 30-45 minutes, then say you have evening plans and have to go but it was great hanging out with everyone.

The point is that being fit requires a complete overhaul of mind before body. It requires discipline, which comes in the form often times of not surrounding yourself with toxic environments that contain things like booze and super high fat junk foods where the smells and visuals alone can overwhelm impulse control. You wouldn't understand it unless you've worked tremendously hard to overhaul your lifestyle to put your health and fitness first. They have done many studies showing that junk foods are even more addictive than even cocaine. Why would you even want face time in such an environment to drink seltzer while still being surrounded by toxic food choices?

At work one coworker always calls me by the wrong name and when I gently correct her she has said "You skinny girls all look the same to me, sorry." I'm not remotely skinny (5'3", between 125 and 130) but thanks?

I am not a talkative person and am quite introverted. I mind my own business 99.9% of the time and simply go about doing my work. The only thing I can think of is that they're angry at the fact that I'm very fit. You can absolutely tell. When I wear a short sleeved shirt you can see all of my vascularity, and for lack for better terms - my shredded arms. I am very trim and have nice shapely legs and a sculpted derriere because I do tons of leg workouts. My body fat % is below 13%.

Is it just a thing this day in age to discriminate against fit people given that the majority of adults and coworkers are now overweight or obese? Half of it too could be the negative mindset and low self-esteem many people have that has reuslted in their obesity in the first place, which they try to dump onto other people around them.

Fit shaming at work feels like it is getting more and more out of hand as the population gets more overweight.

OMG, maybe you give off "I'm fit and you're not" vibes. I'm skinny, you are fat.

It's a you problem.

Puhlease, women body shame other women for something as trivial as makeup, jewelry and fashion choice. You really think it is surprising then that women would shame others for being fit? We know they're probably subconsciously jealous of a fit person given that almost 75% of the entire US population is now overweight. Or they're insecure over their bodies due to being overweight and therefore feel the need to trash anyone who is fit simply because not being overweight is now a highly abnormal body type this day in age..

When they find out, they generally go "So what do you DO?", as if managing my family, our households and staff, pets, schedules, and of course my own fitness and interests is nothing.
