Very disturbing argument at work?

They are jealous and feeling guilty for not taking care of their own bodies. I got the same thing when I lost over 50 lbs. I'd get comments like "well I don't know how you can do that.. you must be starving yourself or not eating right..."

Sorry that they can't handle your success, but don't let them knock that self accomplishment out of you and destroy what you've worked so hard to achieve.

And if that doesn't work, bring them cookies to fatten them up even more, but keep eating your celery sticks behind their backs. ;)

You might want to take some time to self-reflect. Have you really NOT done anything recently that makes you come off condescending? Maybe you mean one thing, but sound like you mean another.

I'd back off from the women for awhile, and do your job even better. Use all the energy you would have worrying about 'them' to really stand out in performance.

I've learned that you can't control what other people think of you. Even if you think you're being a nice, decent person, someone else might take something the wrong way, or take offence, and there's nothing you can do about it. There's nothing you can do about it afterwards either, to make it better. You just have to accept it, be the person you think you ought to be - that's the best you can do.

The only thing I can think of is jealousy of your successes. They're jealous about the weight loss (congrats, btw), they're jealous of your position at work, they're jealous that you're smart and you don't rub it in others' faces. It makes them feel inferior and it's something they have to deal with on their own. I offer you the suggestion that I practice in my regular life: ignore them. Let them be. If they see you worrying about your "flaws," they will see it as an opportunity to try to weaken you. They don't like that you're nice and helpful, they may see it as you having your nose up in the air. But who cares? I'm flattered when people react that way. Just go on with being yourself and brush them off.

i know it will be hard but take an old wives saying and dont let it get to you. more then likely they are just jealous because you have been able to do something they havent... lost weight. thats a very sore spot for some people but that shouldnt get in the way of how you feel. Like i always say if you got it flaunt it! dont let the haters get you down! If haters wanna hate then its their lost!

I would say she is lashing out at you because of your weight loss. I would let the comment slide and wait to see if anything happens. If it does maybe take her aside or write her a letter ... or even approach your boss about it.

Don't feel bad because you have made a decision to loose the weight and get healthy.

WHEN ANYONE CALLS YOU A NAME that you do not agree with or understand, WHY is it that you cannot just ASK them?? Instead if ASSUMING why, just ASK. Say "Excuse me, can you please explain what you mean by calling me 'condescending'?"

Its called putting the ball back in their court, and forcing them to either apologize or EXPLAIN what they MEAN. By ASSUMING what or why they talk that way to you, you are no better than they are. As you SHOULD know, communication IS the key to understanding!!

dont let them get to you. go about your buiness on making yourself a respectable and hard working news anchor-women.

let them dwell on their misery. they are just jealous and need to learn how to grow up. report them if you need to. no one should speak to eachother this way when you have to work with them everyday.

Do about 6 pints of Ben and Jerry's.

Actually, I do';t know. I would suggest NOT going out of your way to be helpful. People may be misinterpreting that....
