I don't have that issue at my job, but I have definitely had the comparisons thing go on.
It irritated me when I was mid-weight loss, but never when I had lost all the weight, lol.
You have to develop the attitude to deal with it. When a female checks me out now I am more likely to be amused OR to think to myself "I look good, AND what!"
I definitely feel for you though. That would drive me CRAZY. I would try calingl attention to it in innocuous ways whenever she starts until even SHE is embarassed by her behavior. Like "oh you want some of my bagel?" or "oh are you going to Wendy's too" or even "is there something on my shirt?"

Has anyone here ever lost weight, or been in an environment where how much you weigh/trying to lose weight is a MAJOR issue? It is ay my job and it's driving me nuts. There is this one particular girl who is CONSTANTLY staring at what I eat, what I look like, and it's driving me nuts. Yes, I KNOW I've lost a lot of weight, but PLEASE DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO ME! And I'm not saying this in a cocky way. I feel as if she is secretly trying to compete with me. "What's she eating today? Am I eating better than her? OOOOO! She has too many carbs on her plate!" GOOD LORD LADY BACK OFF! Yesterday, I was in the break room, toasting a bagel, and she is standing there watching me put PB&J on it. I walk over towards the fridge and I notice in the reflection in the window, she is literally looking me up and down....I notice that some women do this: get into secret competitions to be better than one another....IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!!
Has this EVER happened to anyone?? I need some feedback/support here!!!
