I bring up this topic because two of my clients mentioned something that has happened to them.
Both of these clients are females in their late 40's, and they are both professionals. They both told me of recent instances when their co-workers actually made fun of them because they are concerned about what they eat.
Why would anyone get down on their friend or co-worker when he/she is trying to exercise and eat better?
Get a life I say. If you choose not to take care of yourself, and make excuses for why you aren't losing weight, then don't give others a hard time when they are working hard to improve themselves.
