My lunch with a box of donuts

  • I did say my lunch was with the box of donuts instead of the box of donuts being my lunch. Once a month, the agency I work for has a board meeting where our very important people come in so our assistant director buys donuts from this little mom and pop bakery for not just the board meeting, but for the office employees also. These donuts are not just the run of the mill grocery donuts or even Dunkin Donuts, these are amazing donuts. Well, I managed to stay away from them all day. I even ate lunch in my office's kitchen, at a table beside the open box of donuts and was not even tempted to eat one. In the past I would have eaten 3 throughout the day. They smelled wonderful, two people even came in the kitchen and got one and yet I continued to eat my salad with lots of greens, peppers, broccoli, onions, tuna, boiled egg and almond slivers.

    Whew...at least a month before the donuts are back!
  • That sounds sooooo hard! Congratulations for resisting!
  • You are a stronger gal than me, WildThing! I would have had to be physically away from something that tempting.

    I salute your determination and will power (or WON'T power, in this case)! Keep up the good work and you will be sending a whole raft of Pounds O'Fat off homeless into the dark night.

    B'wahahaha!
  • You hold onto that feeling for when you need it in the future ~ HOW POWERFUL YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excellent job!!!
  • oh god bless you hunny, i don't knwo if i could manage that. you go girl
  • Congratulations! You did a great job for resisting!
  • Congrats!
  • Well done for resisting!
  • What a great victory! You did good....keep it up!
  • Way to go... it's always hard to turn stuff down at work. You rock!
  • Good job! You are STRONG!!!
  • Now that's self-control. I don't have a thing for donuts fortunately but I don't know if I could exercise such restraint if it was my favorite calorie-laden junk food. Kudos!
  • That is an awesome victory! And just think of how much better you felt having eaten that salad and how GROSS your body would have felt if you had mowed down those donuts. You rock. In the best kind of way
