And no, it doesn't involve customers.
I have a friend...well....I've taken to find him quite annoying since he went on disability from work and started Facebook and Yahoo and text message stalking all of his friends.....while we are sleeping during the day I should point out....but still a friend.
Anyway...I felt I really had to call this guy out on his bullshit. He's been on long term disability for over 6 months now, I really feel for the guy, but I think he's making things up for attention.
A couple of years ago, he was very overweight, for his height and his body type. He was probably 250 pounds. (I'm not saying 250 pounds is ZOMG FAT. My father is 6'4 and nearly 300 pounds, he's just a tad overweight. My friend is about 5'9 and a smaller framed guy.)
Before he went out of comission, he lost quite a bit of weight and ended up looking pretty healthy. Then his health went to hell and his first few months of his disability claim, he gained nearly all of that weight back again. Then as time went on, he started eating better again, going to physical therapy, but wasn't able to do extreme cardio or extreme exercise.
For the past few months, since winter anyway, once a week, every week, on Facebook, he writes that "I lost another 10 lbs this week!" and a few days ago, he wrote "In the past two years I've lost 230 pounds!"......
This is where I call bullshit. If he lost that much weight, he'd weigh as much as an elementary school kid or a very anorexic girl.
And even if the 230 lbs is a lie, even at 10 lbs a week, he'd be down to my weight about now. It just doesn't add up.
When he doesn't make status updates about losing weight, it's about working out at the gym.
I had to do it. I just felt the need to. I had to call him out on it. What I pretty much said was:
If he is supposedly too weak to go to work, if he cannot do a job requiring standing and lifting for 8 hours, explain to me why he can go to the gym almost every day and seem to be able to do workouts that help him lose 10 lbs a week.
I just had to. It sounds like such bullshit. When I had an eating disorder as a young teen, I wasn't even losing 10 lbs a week.
Was I a sucky friend?
