...apparently.
Not impressed. Actually that's nowhere near how I was feeling yesterday, I was absolutely furious.
My new manager comes up to me yesterday and asks to see me in a meeting room. Generally this only happens if I've been doing something naughty or wrong but he said it was for a 1-2-1 (a general chit-chat about life and work etc) so I went along. He asks if I'm alright so I said I was fine and then he asked how I was finding work. I said it was rubbish and when he asked why explained that there was a bit of a rift between myself and some other team members. He said he already knew about this because someone had brought it to his attention. Apparently someone had told him that I've been isolating myself from the rest of the team and he found this worrying. He also said that someone had informed him that I wasn't eating and hadn't been for several weeks!!
(True on a technicality but I know very well what was actually meant...)
Now, correct me if I'm wrong but how I choose to lose weight is my business and my business alone.
I'm not getting angry at the manager here, he was given information and acted upon that info - I'm livid at the person who thought it was a good idea to gossip about me behind me back and to my manager of all people.
Before anyone takes the stance that whoever said it was probably just worried about me or something I'd just like to point out that this is not the case.
The girl who I've mentioned before as taking a sudden dislike to me went off into a room with our manager a few days ago. I didn't think anything of it at the time, just assumed it was for a 1-2-1 or something but in my 1-2-1 he informed me that I was the first in the team to have one. She was gone for quite a while that day and left giving me an odd look which I put down at the time to her being mad at me for whatever reason but now it stands to reason that she was telling tales.
I have to admit I was a bit like a rabbit caught in the headlights and lied about LT. I said I had a problem eating around other people (true) and that I just take myself to my car at meal times (also true) but I did say that I was on SF as he'd seen my shaker on my desk.
I really just don't understand other people's desire to involve themselves in my business. It's not like I'm forcing LT on anyone else. And she also knows damn well what I'm doing I reckon because I slipped up and mentioned it to a team member and I think it would have spread around. So telling him was what - sabotage? I don't get it. Is this a jealousy thing as well?
Day before yesterday I had my earphones in but my iPod wasn't turned on. She started talking about me, asking another girl about me. It went a little something like this;
[Girl 1] 'Has she spoken to you today?'
[Girl 2] 'Yeah, I saw her in the bathroom when I had a nosebleed and she asked if there was anything she could do.'
[Girl 1] 'Oh. You know what she's doing, don't you. Do you think she's lost any weight?'
[Girl 2] 'I don't know, maybe around her face.'
[Girl 1] 'I don't.'
What's it got to do with either of them? You jealous that I can show self-control? Wish you could do it too but instead find pleasure in filling your face with rubbish?
I'm just so angry about it all. It hits a nerve and I don't understand why the hell I should be putting up with such idiotic behaviour at my age. I chose not to tell people about LT because I felt it was the best decision for me. Now it's been brought to the attention of my manager I feel like I'm going to be watched and given that I've no intention of coming off LT it's going to look like she was right all along as I shrink with each coming week.
J (the boy) reckons I should put in a complaint but I don't want to cause any more trouble. I just want to be left alone.
Sorry for the essay guys and dolls...
