Coworkers are the devil:-)

To celebrate Valentines Day they brought cupcakes and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Torture!

Holding firm though. Smells so good!

Tell me about it, a coworker of mine brought everyone a russell stover chocolate heart filled with caramel...no on here knows i had surgery since it was prior to my starting here.  they do know I'm working on my weight but it's the thought that counts! Now, if I can just make it till the end of the day to give it to my son!

We can do it! Be strong!

I have the added motivation that I don't know if I have dumping. I don't want to find out at work.

Oh yeah, that's the worst place to find out that you dump! It is not fun! That happened to me Monday. I just wanted to lay down until it was over. Of course, I'm at work, so I can't really do that, can I?

Ahhh I feel your pain! I have a big bag of peanut M&M's here on my desk from a kind co worker they are my FAVORITE candy of all time, and a few feet away in the office kitchen is a box of the most delicious gourmet cupcakes I have ever seen Oh God help me! My baby carrots and I are fighting so I hope we don't lose!

If it makes you feel any better, today is my first day of CLEAR liquids, and there are TWO boxes of Dunkin Donuts and a bag of Panera bagels (and cream cheese) on the dang table about 20 feet from my desk. I think my head is making me hungrier because I know that I can't eat anything even later.

......there are everything bagels....

.....have you ever had an everything bagel from Panera Bread?

....SO GOOD.

 

I can sympathize...I am on a liquid type of diet (my doc didn't require it, but I asked to do it...so this is self-inflicted) My loving co-workers brought in cinnabon style pastries, a BIG bowl of chocolates, and are order pizza for lunch...my protein shake and I are holding on for dear life. 

I am a school nurse.  Food is Always in the teachers room.  I always get candy and cookies from the kids as gifts.  We have a big breakfast every other Friday.  Just have to learn to smile and say no.  Along with chewing on your fingernails, drinking mega amounts of decaf tea.  LOL.

I hear you.  I broke down and had a chocolate soft cookie with pink cream cheese icing that my supervisor brought to a meeting for us.  God...so good!  But I am paying for it a bit now with some cramping and gas pains.  I can tolerate some sugar but an entire rich cookie worth, not so much.  Be stronger than me, folks!

I brought a fruit and veggie tray in preparation for today.  Cookies and cupcakes and candy are all on the break room table....and so is my lonely tray of fruit and veggie stuff.  lol  They also ordered subway.  i have my jerky.  22 grams of protein, 1.5 grams of fat, 3 carbs.  yummy.   If temptation gets the best of me, i will have one mini m&m package and not let the guilt get me.  So far though, the thought of that one dumping session when i tried a piece of brownie a few months ago is keeping me on the straight and narrow.  And its a victory really.  Before I would have been into everything and had most of the bowl of minis!  today I can allow myself to indulge in one and know I am making great food choices.  One liter of water in today.  One to go.  I wish i liked it better.  sigh.
