Didn't touch a bite!

I posted yesterday about an office party today for a co-worker's birthday, there is pizza, bourbon cupcakes, real cupcakes and a bourbon bar in the break room.

I have not touched a single crumb or drop.

    As well you should! Congrats!!

    Edited to say: If that's what you needed to do yesterday. Sometimes total abstention is required to keep ourselves from overdoing and having that control is fine when you need it! So, y'all who plan to chime in with "eat the cupcake?" Shut up for once.

    Great focus and determination!! Those things can be so tough.

    My trick, I try to go for a walk outside, so you're not tempted to help with the leftovers.

    You have great willpower. I can't be around pizza yet without wanting to eat 2 to 3 slices. Over time I will be able to eat a portion of it. Congrats!

    Coworker's birthday today, and we had carrot cake. I had two slices - one for me, the other for the "they're all selfish" lady.

    Why not?
    don't you like pizza and cupcakes?
    Have an allergy?

    I get if either of those were the case.

    But could you enjoy a slice of pizza and a cupcake, and make it fit your day?

    Because I only eat dinner, and I have meals at home already pre-prepared. I am on a very tight budget and I am not going to waste food I've bought and cooked, and besides, what I have at home is healthier than pizza and cupcakes. Besides, I had the willpower not to touch one but if I had tried to eat just one or two, it would have turned into 6 or 7. I know me.

    1. Way to go! I know that some days I can do the "just a little" method but some days I need to totally abstain. Way to go on exercising your will-power muscle!

    2. I'd like the contact info of the HR department at your place of business please. LOL!!
