The last three days has been a really strong test of will power for me. My work week is Tuesday to Saturday right now... So that means that Sunday and Monday I did the deep cleanse, Tuesday I arrived to work to face two solid days of bakery tables right outside my office doors (and the smell of popcorn in the banking hall for two days as well) yesterday the Halloween Candy started making its presence known in the office... Today? Well...
Yesterday I had to cover CSR time and the person at the wicket beside mine had a dish of candies out for her clients.
And still, I did not cheat!
Today was a near thing. At lunch I sat quietly eating my lunch... surrounded by a full table of people munching leftover candy. At one point, the woman sitting across the table from me opened a Peanut Butter Cup package.
OH. MY. GOD.
I almost leapt across the table at her - I swear to God she was eating that thing so damn slowly the whole lunch room smelled of peanut butter cup.
And STILL I did not cheat!
I'm feeling pretty good about all of this - really good in fact. The last few days have had me "peckish" after dinner - part of that, I think, is the sheer volume of food I have been surrounded by all day. I staved it off with half a dozen raw almonds one night - and the BBB last night and the night before also helped.
I have lunch on Sunday with my folks to look forward to - I'm thinking I may make sandwiches and I have a small lemon loaf I picked up last night on my way home - the thought is that I find some decent looking strawberries and whip up a little whipping cream to go along with it. Sunday morning I weigh and measure and hopefully there will again be positive results I can use as my carrot and limit myself to a VERY small portion of desert.
