SHE-RA!! Okay, so I am not exactly warrior princess in likeness, but dang it, I am in spirit today!!
I just came back from attending a retirement party for one of my friends at an office where I used to work. It is a friendly office and I enjoy the people, I just haven't seen some of them since I put all this weight on and I was really nervous to have them see me. Not one of them has a weight problem in an office of 15 people and not that they would judge me, but I remember every time my boss would see a fat person he would come back and make fat jokes and I just really hope that I am not the butt of new jokes.
Rambling. Sorry.
Anyhoo, I was in a vulnerable place and they were serving pizza AND cake and guess what?? I didn't eat ANY of it, I took a piece of cake when they were passing it around because I just didn't want to deal with everyone asking why I didn't want one - but then it just sat there and when the next person showed up, I passed it down to him. YAY for me!!
So, lesson for today is that I didn't NEED the food to get me through a scary emotional day. Maybe you really CAN teach an old girl new tricks!
Happiness and Health to you,
Moonflower

Way to go: D
So proud of you: D
Is that not a great feeling? To just pass the food and not think about it....Woooohooo! Keep it up and it will only get better.
In regards to the "boss" I think thats very rude of him to make fun of people. Don't pay much attention to him, Gods watching and he'll get his due. You concentrate on getting to your goal and then we'll see who has the last laugh: D
yay! That is definitely a WIN for you! They do A LOT of eating at the school I work at and its always a challenge to be around it. I always feel so great when I make a good choice.
Keep it up, those pounds are going to come flyin' off in no time!
I'm not certain that I would have left the cake sitting there! lol I know what you mean, I cringe every time I run into someone who hasn't seen me since my skinny days b/c I'm always wondering what they might be thinking or saying, but oh well! Life happens! Glad you made it through w/out having a total melt down or chickening out b/c you didn't want to be seen! You're awesome, confident and have an iron will power, girly! Keep it up!
