your thoughts?

Another one of these talks with my nutty coworker.

He told me that they should give prizes at my weight loss group for the most lost in a week. I say that would be unfair because it's easier for someone with 100 lbs to lose to lose weight than someone who has 30. I would never win becaues my weight loss is on a smaller scale.

He's trying to tell me the woman with 100+ lbs needs more encouragement than I do. He says she could die from being that overweight.

While I agree she might have more urgency to lose weight than I do; I disagree that she should get more encouragement than me.

I struggle daily just as I'm sure she does.

What do you think? Who should get more encouragement?

I'm not sure I understand exactly what question I'm supposed to answer.

I fixed it. Who should get more encouragement during the weight loss process?

I think if the possibility of death isn't encouragement enough, she has bigger problems that just her weight.

You sould give out candy to the one who loses the most. That should keep everyone in check.

I'm still a bit confused....but ......
ummmm well all of you, it is a support group right?

but yes I see how you might even have to work harder for less. but sounds like you all need the same support for the same type of goal.

sorry if I was no help.

Ultimately we do all need the same support. But in the course of the conversation he stated she needed more than me because her reasons were more urgent (she's downright obese).

The solution at my office was to split the money. One prize went for the largest overall loss and another to the largest % of bodyweight loss.

That or go with the candy for the largest loss suggestion. That's my personal favorite.

As you can see from my recent photo, I am a psychology major- and I think this guy likes you and is trying to psychologize you into becoming dependent on him for information pertaining to your self esteem- its a common ploy. But thats just my professional opinion.......Uh, can I have your phone #?

anyway- what kind of prizes does he think would be worthwhile if there was such an arrangement?

Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires.

We each get $5 per pound at the end of 3 months after the end of the program.

He was just talking motivation each meeting.

The problem with weight loss is the boobs always go first. I'm having a hard time encouraging this.

Not necessarily. That's the last place I lose. I've lost 90 pounds in the last two years, but still DDD

You both should be encouraged but she should get more of it.

My reality and yours are quite different.
