My Thursday Challenge
So, I thought I would share my Thursday challenge with everyone..actually this is my every Thursday Challenge when I'm at work. We have a wonderful tradition here of making popcorn every Thursday at 3 PM...we even have one of those industrial type popcorn makers like the movie theater...only smaller. I love popcorn, but I can't have it. My challenge is that every Thursday at about 2:55 I start to smell popcorn through the venting system in my office. The staff lunchroom is 50 feet down the hall and sits in a newer separate building from the one I'm in, but somehow that small seems to travel the venting system and come straight into my office...my assistant smells at the same time as I do. So now I'm sitting here craving popcorn on a day that I've been struggling with head hunger.
Just thought I'd share. Hope everyone is having a great day!

I applaude your strength!!!! 
It's not easy to say "no thank you" when everyone else is having something we want and even crave. The other day a guy came into the office with a carrot cake from Trader Joe's. OMG... my favorite. He's cutting pieces and handing them out and puts one right under my nose. I wanted to just faceplant myself into it. Instead, I said, "No thank you, I don't eat sugar, but thank you for the sweet gesture." He went away not feeling rebuffed but I felt great. Yeah, for about 20 seconds I was pissed and felt deprived but it only lasted 20 seconds. And then I looked at the size of his ass as he walked away. LOL... and then realized that I love my own ass in my tight jeans better than carrot cake.
Again, Brid, keep up the resistance. It is these challenges that make us stronger... jus as a butterfly builds it strength to fly from struggling out of the cocoon.
Stay proud and strong.
