Today (day of all days), it’s been announced that my coworker who I work very closely with is Anorexic. Not sure if she’s still struggling or not, but she thought she’d pass along that information along with her current weight. Delightful. Also, my director tells me that she heard I went to corporate about the weight loss challenge, but explained that my Mum contacted them out of concern and frustration.

Later, my boss tells me she was Anorexic/Bulimic and can understand why this puts me into an awkward situation. Even though cat’s out of the bag, I’m still constantly feeling like by one employee (who else knows, I don’t know) googled for my eating habits. Weight loss doesn’t belong into the work place, and thanks to them for doing so.

I completely agree. The notion of team effort is innocent enough, but it would be better to focus on the positives of well-being rather than put others down for their choices. Weight is just one of many factors contributing to poor health.
