It's Tuesday and every Tuesday I pack my lunch like a good girl, go to work, and leave my lunch in the refrigerator in favor of the usual catered lunch at this particular facility.

NOT TODAY!

I hope that by posting this, I will be more accountable to my plan.

Today I will eat my packed lunch. I will avoid even going near the catered lunch. And I will report back to you all with how I did.

Sounds great! Here's some extra willpower for you:

gnnnnnnngnnnnnnnnngnnn

good luck today. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

It's so hard to pass up free food at work. I know you can do it.

Thanks so much for the warm and fuzzy thoughts. It was actually a bit anticlimactic, cause there was not a catered lunch yesterday...but the only reason I know that is because I heard there was not one. I did not even go down to look or check it out. I was 100% on plan all day...and I feel really good today!

good for you!!!!

I had the opportunity for a "free" lunch, dinner and "snacks" at work yesterday -- special celebration.

I had to go to the dinner, but packed -- and ate my own lunch. I had no snacks or desserts. Dinner ended up being veggies and a stuffed chicken breast.

It IS possible, but we have to break ourselves of that "free food" mindset sometimes. That food may not cost money, but it doesn't mean it's free!

You are so right, Wyellen! And your loss shows that you are really benefitting from your choices....Look at you go!
