The other day I was pouring myself some coffee at the office and realized I was out of my liquid creamer. I loathe the powder stuff so I looked in the fridge for other options. Low and behold there was a bottle of whip cream.
Score! My mom does this all the time with cool whip or whip cream. She love to put it in hot chocolate too. While this was all going down my coworker had walked into the kitchen also. We are both in a Biggest Loser contest together at work, and I mentioned that I had not been having much success lately with my weight loss efforts. She looked at me pouring the whip cream (keep in mine I only used maybe a tbsp but still, it probably did look bad) into my coffee and she says loudly "Well, I can see why!" I felt like I heard screeching brakes in my head. "Say what? Oh no you didn't..."
Here's the thing. It was funny. I laughed. She laughed. I get that she was joking. But for some reason I can't get it out of my head. It's been a week later and it still bugs me and I think about it every time I see her. DUMB I know. Stupid little things like that always get to me and I know it shouldn't. Eventually I'll forget about it. Do y'all let little dumb things get to you also?
So I've decided to let that little annoyance just motivate me to work out harder. We have all decided to continue our biggest loser challenge a few more weeks so hopefully I'll put my money where my whip cream is! ;)

I take the smallest things people say & harp on them forEVER ... so I get it...
& personally, a tsp of whip cream isnt gonna make that much difference - so enjoy! :)
The only way that whip cream was going to harm you is if you ate the whole container and skipped the coffee. :D
I let little things like that get me sometimes too.
Little things like that do bother me as well.
It makes me harder on myself.
I'm with you though.. the powdered stuff??YUCK!!
Oh I am the same way!! even though it was a joke, it was a hurtful joke! I would be thinking about it every time i saw her as well. One time (years ago now) I was in a busy airport food court. I hadn't eaten in nearly 24 hours and was starving. I got myself some chinese food since I knew I had a 6 hour flight ahead of me and wanted to have a real meal instead of something snacky. I shared a table with an eastern european woman who was eating soup or something. We were chatting and then out of nowhere she says- "you know, you would be really pretty if you lost 2 stone (28 pounds) and stopped eating food like that." UGH. I know she didnt mean it as an insult but I STILL think about it to this day...and dont eat chinese food anymore.
