76dragonflies's Journal, 10 Jun 14

Today has been good for me so far and I am so happy with my choices. Usually I cannot pass up the sweets, but today I did. Please also let me explain - when I walk into my office, there are fresh pastries, danishes, breads, etc. I can walk away from those pretty easily.. now this afternoon someone opened a package of lady fingers and put them right on my desk. I actually gave them away (and to someone else I knew would eat the whole thing! lol) Then a coworker made a drink that had orange juice and sweetened condensed milk in it and blended - I gave that away as well. Our pastry chef came in with new cookies and fresh glazed donut holes they were trying out for us (a massive platter of them) I did take half of a donut hole (I bit it) and thru the other half away and just reminded myself that I had a taste and that was going to be it. Thankfully everyone ate them so quickly they were then out of my sight! lol. But I am happy I was able to pass them up! (I am not sure how.. and I am sure there will be times ahead I will struggle passing them up - but I did it today and things are one day and step at a time!) Hope everyone is having a great day!

I work for a major convention hotel in Orlando.. Rosen Shingle Creek - I love it..but I work closely with AMAZING chefs!! lol Its not even just the sweets - its difficult sometimes. We have our banquet chefs and then the chefs to all of our restaurants - its crazy!

That kind of environment would be really frightening for me. In my current frame of mind I could probably resist, but I'd probably cave at the first curve ball... Congrats on standing firm!

It is difficult - they just brought down different quesadillas from our Mexican restaurant and I did have a wedge (but I really didn't eat lunch today) BUT I stopped at the wedge. lol Thanks for the support.. its a good day.. just have to continue. lol

Just keep resisting. In a few weeks looking at that kind of food will turn you off. Remember, no cheating for it to work properly.

That's what I'm hoping!! Just sticking to it so it becomes the new norm...we get set into habits so I'm trying to get set into new healthier habits

Wow, and I thought my workplace was a tough with food temptations. You need to change your profile name to wonder woman, you're one strong lady to resist all those goodies!

Good job! We get food and meals brought in to our office all the time, but we have to leave our desks to go get them and I still struggle not to indulge! Thankfully we are no allowed to eat at our desks which prevents me from having food at/on my desk! Good for you...it will get easier and easier for you to continue to resist as you start seeing the numbers drop and start feeling good about the results you are creating each time you resist!!!

So very proud of you! Keep thinking about YOU! I can tell you, I had a really crap day today and wanted nothing more than an 8 oz martini!! But, alas, I didn't go there. Came home, drank iced tea and fish tacos wrapped in cabbage leaves. Was delish! Here's to both of us doing the work! Amen!

Thanks everyone..it's a fight..trust me! Shayes409..And getting away from my desk wouldn't stop me! Haha! But I think that's a great thing to help..not being able to have food at your desks! I mean it's not all bad (we have an awesome sushi chef here too lol) 4calico that's awesome..it's just fighting that stupid temptation! And jmb3450...I have the lasso to prove it! Haha seriously..this is just a first step for me...I have learned that I have to focus on continuing..if I lose focus I fall.. but you all are great (love this site!!) And totally help keep the motivation going!
