So today at work, we celebrated a couple of birthdays. Wouldn't you know that the desk next to me is vacant right now so that is where the food sat - all day. One of our co-workers ALWAYS brings cheesecake and a chocolate cake that is to die for because everything about it is chocolate. I prayed that I wouldn't be tempted, and kept in mind that I would be logging tonight. I can honestly say that I was not tempted and did not eat one bite. I also cleaned up the mess when everyone was done and threw away the cake board where the edges were covered in creamy chocolate. THAT, my support group, was a huge victory for me. Normally, I would have eaten two pieces of that cake, plus cheese cake and some of everything else that was there. Thank you for being here. I think MyFitness Pals are what I've been missing out on for a long time. PLEASE keep me accountable!

    Congratulations! You did great! I think I would have had a very, very hard time. In fact I'm pretty sure I would have failed. That was some huge willpower, well done :smiley:

    Thank you Barbs2222. Today was a good day, but that's just one day out of oh so many more to go.

    Super NSV!! I hear you so much about work. My workplace is atrocious for junk food. There are vending machines with candy/chocolates. Then it seems like at least 2 or 3 times a week there's a birthday or we "earn" junk food. I've said NO so many times since I started this weight loss journey - I deserve a medal :wink: Now, they're talking about a TREAT CART so they can wheel the treats to employees, so they don't have to get out of their office to get the treats. Seriously. That is FUBAR. But whatever. I've lost a lot of weight so far and I'm gonna keep it going, and so will you! We are stronger than other people!!
