You may know that I am giving up carbs (or you may not), but today is my 3rd day without any bad carbs and I am in total withdraw symptom mode.

So, early this morning, my boss brings in 2 - 5lb heart shaped boxes of candy and sits them on the table outside of my office offering them to everyone (and one is DOVE chocolate)! I profess that I will not have any and I have not. (Eventhough, I've *****ed about it enough to certain people - sorry for the wrath of Lisa today~)

So I go out for "lunch" just so that I don't have to sit with other eating people and when I get back, I walk through the door and the same, sweet boss that thoughtfully brought in chocolate (my favorite thing in the world) this morning, says, "I just ordered pizza ~ please join us."

I politely beg off and say no thank you, but now there are about 8 people sitting 25 feet from my office door in our conference room eating PapaJohns!!!

OMG - I think I'm going to DIE today. If the good Lord above is testing my strength ~ he certainly has put a whipping on me today.

I just shut my door. People are going to wonder WTF is wrong with me, but I've got to get through this.

Those people are not going to be there for me when I weigh 320+ lbs again. They are just going to be laughing behind my back.

Sometimes, it really sucks to try and eat on the straight and narrow when everyone around you is eating like a pre-op suffering from Last Supper Syndrome.

So did you eat lunch at all?

And I really do feel ya - pizza and chocolate - yep, better than sex. Sigh.

I HATE SKINNY PEOPLE!!

I think closing your office door is smart.

Ummm.........just the faux crab? Plain?

Oh, I agree. But what I was thinking is that maybe you need to get creative so you don't drive yourself nuts wanting what other people have.

IMO, the delicious stuff you had at the Pampered Chef party blew Papa John's out of the water!!!
