Any Waiters/Waitresses?

Anyone else work in the food industry trying to lose weight/stay healthy? It is so hard being around all the unhealthy food all the time and thought that maybe we could be friends and help each other out! Add me if you like whether you work in the food industry or not more friends are always welcome!!

    I did the waitressing/bartending thing for eight years. I only recently quit because of sudden social anxiety. I definitely miss it, it was good money! I had a horrible problem binging on our food but after discovering mfp in 2008 it became easier and easier to be around it. I'd literally just read through the forums on my breaks to distract myself from eating the food there. It also helped packing my own lunch and drinks to bring with me. Or if you really want an item on the menu just work it into your calories. I used to eat our mac n cheese until I found out it was 2000 cals haha. Whenever I craved it after that id just share it or portion it for the next day(s).
