When someone we know is making changes, it can really mess with those around us. Why? It messes up the dynamic of a group...that's why even though on one hand be our biggest supporters, they can also be our biggest saboteurs (aka cake pushers lol).
One way to avoid the judgement may be to quiet your own outward statements. They may hear you say one thing and do another...ed is serious and if you are concerned visit a doctor :) Then you can tell the friends, I have been checked out and my doc has no concerns.
Okay, so unhealthy options are provided at the office...a few options: bring your own lunch, have a little, have a lot. If finances preclude the 'bring your own' option, then just do what you do...make the best choices you can with what is available. Want a hamburger? Maybe do without the cheese or bun (dear Lord my kids and hubs give me crap for ordering what they call 'burger salads' and I call 'bunless burgers' lol) or have half a sandwich or a bit of cake/pie.
