My company hired a girl to work with me in development. Shes quite large...overweight should I say? My guess is that she weighs about 200 lbs. She eats at her desk all the time and offers me food that I dont want. I think its cuz she doesnt want to be the only person eating all the time. Shes speaks so loud and always bugs me about things not realated to work. My coworkers give me a hard time and joke about her being fat and loud. I feel bad for her sometimes but most of the time I dont cuz shes imposing and opportunistic. I'd be lying if I said her being fat doesnt bother me too. I'm sorry but it not pleasant seeing her sweat everyday. I think the hardest part is that I feel so restricted I can't talk about dieting (which I do), working out or even say the word "fat" cuz she might take offense at it. If she would at least talk about her weight casually it would make things so much easier. Maybe she's in denial but frankly I think shes selfish. Could you work with a person like this?

talk about dieting and say fat; if she is in denial it wont hurt her. if she has a problem i'm sure she will be more then happy to let you know.i dont think i could work with a person like that based on the other things you said about her, not just her weight.

do big women scare you? i bet if she looked like a freaking super model you would find that easy to work with right. Just because she is over weight does not mean she cant do her job. SHE IS HUMAN NOT AN ANIMAL. and people talk about the racist on here you are not any better. what does her weight have to do anything it seems to me you are embarrassed for anyone to see you talking to her. HOW RUDE OF YOU!!!!
maybe this girl is a sweet woman, maybe this girl is lonely because people treat her everyday like you do. How would you feel if someone did you that way.

Let's start with the food she offers you. First thank her and the go on to tell her why you don't like the food. eg. Fat content, sodium, msg, artificial ingredients etc. Then tell her what it will do to you, if you eat it. Next, whether you do this or not, talk about exercise. How many mile you run. Walk. Your visit to the gym. LIke rats, you need to recondition her with new responses to new stimuli. If her behaviour is unacceptable, ignore it, don't feed it.

Yes.. I could.. I work with people like this everyday and so do millions of Americans. Since she is your coworker, start a conversation with her and talk about your concerns (issues). You might be surprised at the results of the conversation.
