Reward system for my co-workers
I have to admit, my co-workers are a very supportive group of people. I am always asked when people bring treats if there is something they can get me instead of the usual crap that gets served. I think that is really sweet. They have seen me since day one with this surgery so they have seen the accomplishments I have made. The inevitable office sweets are still there often, but I dont really partake of them anymore. I did have a small sip of apple cider and a half of a small butter cookie today. Its not a reward or a treat, but I decided I was going to have it. Please do not crucify me for that. I know my limits and I rarely ever eat off plan.
Anyways, for every ten pounds that I have lost so far (i made it down to 280 now!) I give one of my co-workers a choice of what treat I will bring in. This turn, the girl is pregnant and has been craving cookies, so she asked for me to bring a big frosted cookie. Now, back in the old days, i would have eaten half the damn thing myself, but this time I will not touch it. IT used to be a big "CRAVE" food but now does not even tempt me. If I am looking for sweets, I made myself pumpkin fluff which I love now! (SF, FF Cool Whip, pumpkin, pie spice and truvia)
The girls in the office say that this is just a ploy to make them fat while I get skinny. I plead the fifth!
