I have food demons...

And most days I've got great self control. Some would say we're lucky here at work, because we have catered lunches by drug reps EVERY DAY! I consider them demons. Most days, I'm able to stick with what I bring. Other days, I get envious of what others are mindlessly putting into their bodies. Especially when I have a migraine, when a favorite patient has died, or it's the day following a long run.

My universe has collided all of the above into a smashingly great day, and those little food demons are getting on my nerves. I've been fighting the urge to eat all day. I'm up to par with my water, I've had a healthy day so far... but everywhere I turn, there's the damn valentine's day chocolate. So I'm literally being the "unsocial butterfly" here at work, hiding from the chocolate and really good bread, eating my oranges and drinking my water.

I hope everyone else's demons are behaving today...

    OH Dear - never mind bmaltermatt! (I'm kind of glad I'm a shift worker, and don't have to work today now). When there is yummy food on the table at work at lunch, I read a magazine and chew some gum after I've finished my lunch. Don't give up!!! Keep thinking of how you will feel when you get home and haven't caved! And maybe treat yourself to some sugarfree jelly? (That's my 'treat' in the afternoon if I had a bad craving day) Good luck!!!!

    Yep. That.

    Last week :

    A friend of mine lost her baby, full term, stillborn.

    My physio told me my ankle was as good as it was going to get, and I probably need more surgery.

    I dropped and smashed a mixing bowl my mother got me 5 years ago that was my favorite.

    I offended my sister by accident, right after she and her significant other split.

    I managed to not eat anything terribly wrong until Saturday, when I indulged in 1,000 calories of pizza rolls. You're a strong woman. Stronger than me!
