Office sabotage!

I swear, sometimes it feels like my diet is being sabotaged by my fellow co-workers. (lol) Like today...the morning started off with the simple Pork Skin breakfast. I know your saying YUCK but it gives me a "full" feeling and curbs my appetite like nothing else. But anyway... a wonderful drug rep (Pharmaceutical Co.) brought us lunch. Guess what it was?? Pizza Hut and Maggie Moo's ice cream!! OH MY LORD!!!!!!!!!!! When I told my co-worker that, "ahh I better not..." She insisted on me coming over to her office. So here I go thinking the entire time I will just be sociable and maybe eat the smallest piece I can find. That is exactly what I did. I got the smallest slice which looked like a 1/3 of a normal slice of Pizza Hut Pizza. Then Maggie Moo's....they only brought it for 4 of the employees. Me being one of them. (how special am I? *giggle) So, I ate probably 8 bites of it and decided I would share the LOVE with my friend Betty that is also on a 1200 cal diet. She just looked at me when I brought it to her office. I felt like the devil with the forbidden fruit saying, "go ahead...it won't hurt you!" She ate a couple of bites and threw it away!

So, MY QUESTION...how can we be sociable but yet not eat the food loaded in calories?? Is there a simple solution?

My ANSWER: It varies on the situation. If you have a healthy choice and not so healthy choice it becomes LESS difficult. You can choose the Most healthy. But like my situation above. The only choice would have been not to eat at all but....who can do that? SO, I think if you must partake then do very small servings. It's all about self control. Which I am slowly learning.

On the weigh in issue. I read in a fitness magazine that if you are trying to lose weight then you should weigh yourself everyday. But if your like me, you do that anyway. This morning I weighed in at 142.4!! Finally a break from the 143.0 !!!! Small break but a break. I'm going to be somewhat unrealistic this week and push for a 3-5 lbs loss in a week! So, hopefully by next Thursday I will be around 138!! Can you say STRICT!!!! Pray for me!! (lol)
