Part of my job involves cooking and I don't get to eat any of it!! I've gotten used to it but it was hard at first!

I agree with the quote for sure but I thought friends would want me to succeed and therefore be supportive. I am glad I found this site where everyone wants to help!!!!

Sometimes your friends can be the WORST!!! My friend of almost 30 years has been OBVIOUSLY avoiding me. I thought I was imagining things but we were supposed to meet for lunch today and she called to say, "I'm just too tired." Yep, pretty sure she's avoiding me.(Haven't seen her since March) We've always been the same size. She has no interest in any type of diet which is fine, but I don't want her to stay away because I've decided to get healthy. I'm not the type to talk about it and try to "guilt her into" dieting too. :shrug:

I agree that friends are the WORST. I have some who are very supportive and others who seem jealous and want me to fail.

Last time I ate thia chicken even before IP, and 45 mins after we ate I had stomach cramps, and couldnt make it home, it flew out of me lol..

So today they pick that same place. I said well I am sorry but I cant eat their food. They have a menu of 5 items. My boss has a tummy that looks like he is 20 months preggie. He eats fast, and like a pig, no class, drips food all over his shirt, its all over his face, its really gross. I told him I wont be there, I dont want to be sick after to try and work after eatting. I asked him why he doesnt pick larger places with full menus most places always offer healthy choices. Even Mcdonalds I can get a chicken salad without their dressing. He likes these little out of the way places. Last time we couldnt even eat, didnt even know what we were eatting, pork something LOL...this place had 10 places to sit. So....I watched them eat. I said I am not doing that again.

So for myself I decided not to go. I told them I cant eat those sauces and not be sick, they were kind of shocked. But I feel better inside knowing I did something for me and my health, instead of sitting there eatting something I didnt want to eat and knew it would set me back a whole week. Plus I would feel sick, so yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh to me~~:carrot:

I am so glad that I work in a small office with only 4 other coworkers. Normally, the only time we have snacks is when I bring them. I did bring muffins in last week, but didn't touch one.

My first real tests is a potluck tomorrow night (I will eat first) and a birthday party on Sunday afternoon. For the party, I will treat myself to a chocolate drink before the party so I can feel like I already had something good and sweet.
