    I Made It!!!

    this week was a True Test for me i was put into another section at Work to help out and this section of my job is Very Well Known for having a Potluck going on almost Every Single Day! and being only 1 Month Old, i thought to myself... YOU BETTER BE STRONG!!! and yes, it happened... Monday they had a Potluck Lunch, Wednesday another Potluck Lunch (and they had NOTHING legal in that room for ME to munch on!!!) and today a Birthday Party Potluck Lunch... oooh man! there was Candy, Cake, Cookies, Cupcakes, Mac & Cheese, Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Soda Pops, Lumpia, Pancit, Sweet & Sour Breaded Chicken, the list just goes on and on and on and on... and the person i was sitting with had a Huge bowl of Hershey Kisses on her desk that everyone kept coming to grab and I KEPT SMELLING ALL DAY LONG............ it was really driving me CRAZY!!! and every time someone asked me if i was going to join in, i just said "No Thanks, Im Trying To Eat Good Now - None Of This For Me!" and it was easy... i just walked away after work today WITHOUT TOUCHING 1 MORSEL!!! i am very proud of myself because before i came here to i would have really gone overboard! and regretted it later, but i would have just had a ball with all those goodies... but i didnt do it! i was strong! and the best thing was IT WAS SOOOOOOO EASY FOR ME TO SAY NO!!! i truly want to thank you all for all of your support and knowledge! i am a much stronger person now because of what you have taught me! God Bless You!

                    Re: I Made It!!!

                    Thanks Everyone! i will be working in that new section at work for the rest of October and knowing that i CAN say NO! Whoo Hooooo! that was Great!!! i ALWAYS take my own lunch and snacks to work so that makes it much easier to stay on track... but i have to tell you... it was just so easy to say NO! i mean it all smelled soooooooooooooo good... but i didnt have that feeling of "I JUST HAVE TO HAVE SOME"..... i just didnt feel it! what i felt like was... "WOULD THAT MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER OR WORSE"? and NOTHING makes me feel as good as eating the Atkins Way! this is 1 of my Greatest Accomplishments! now i know for a fact that this is a new way of life for me! and no matter what! i will stay on track and keep doing the right thing...
