Tempting day at work

Postby petiewheats » March 20th, 2006, 4:06 pm

At my place of business the CEO's wife makes birthday cakes once a month to celebrate everyones b-day. One cake per birthday, needless to say March had SEVERAL. I resisted Choco-peanut-cream: double berry and double cream: an cannolli!!
A co-worker finally noticed the weight loss too-- almost 20 gone! This is the best ever.

Isn't it amazing how those compliments help say no to the temptations?! Maybe we should start asking folks to say them into a tape recorder so we'll always have an encouraging word! You did great ... congrats!!

Wow . . . where do you work and how can I get a job there?

But on a more serious note ( :mrgreen: ), excellent show of strength and discipline. That sounds like a true test of will!

Thanks everyone! words of encouragement and the support on this board are a HUGE driving force in what keeps me going. I know I would have failed prior to this but thinking of all of you keeps me straight. It really reinforces that we are not alone in our struggles with weight

Dayna- I work for a start up medical device company near pittsburgh. The CEO keeps a 'home like' atmosphere, It's a great place!
Except for those monthly birthday parties!!
