    I only looked!!!!

    Today was our awards assembly ( I am a teacher) and afterwards I was walking my class to take a break and there was a HUGE white cake with strawberry icing with real strawberries on top in the teacher's lounge. I am only into my 2nd week but I actually looked at it, drooled a little bit and walked out of the lounge!! Usually I would have had a piece and felt guilty all day and thought to myself that I already cheated a little so why not cheat alot!!! I am so proud. I am sick of feeling guilty and fat at the same time! God bless you Dr. Atkins.

    Good for you!

    Teacher's Lounges are NOTORIOUSLY bad! All the cookies and donuts and baked goods...who knew teachers were such carb-a-holics? It gets easier. I walk in my lounge and just sort of look at the junk on the table like it's sculpture or modern art. Still Life with Refined Sugars. It gets easier as time passes--so easy that the junk doesn't even look like REAL food anymore.

    Congrats on passing the carb test, and it will just keep getting easier from here!

          Great news!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! In my mind, I always picture my old fat self standing behind those pastries saying "Be just like me, eat this". Thats enough to make me walk faster to get as far away as I can.

                      You think a teacher's lounge is bad... try a nurse's break room... We also designate special drawers in the nurses station for communal chocolate, it's refilled on a daily basis! Isn't that sad?!!!
