I had a mandatory training to go to for work today. Since you don't have time between work and the training they provide dinner. I wondered all day what it would be. Well when I got there it was Olive Garden Lasagna, salad and breadsticks, I almost died. I decided that even though I was hungry I would wait till I get home and fix my own dinner. So there I was with 30 or more co-workers eating Olive Garden. Luckily the meeting went short and I was able to get home and eat a decent dinner. Someone noticed I had lost weight though, but they kept pushing me to eat. No way, I limit myself to minor cheats on the weekend only. I have made a promise to myself to stick closely to my diet through the week. :happy:

    way to plan ahead. nice work. i hate the pressure to break the diet. I feel like saying, "why cant you just support me?" Stay strong. You have a great mind set already I know you'll do great.
