I work with Truckers and Construction guys in the office doing billing. Anyways.....one of the major construction owners bought the whole office and work area lunch today. What they did was brought in a lunch truck that has Burgers, Hot Dogs, Kielbasa, Poutine, French Fries, Onion Rings, Chicken Fingers and etc.....

I went out there out my boss's urging and looked and said I wasn't going to get anything. As I turned around to walk back inside 2 of the other office girls stopped me and were like..."aren't you getting something?" I said no...they were both like "Oh come on....one day is not going to kill you.....enjoy yourself. I went up to the truck window to order something sat there looked at it all and turned around and walked away. Now my boss stops me and asks me if I am going to get something and I said "no, it is not worth it." I turned around walked away and went back into the office.

I survived the day and did not eat badly. Very proud of myself. I just couldn't make myself put that "CRAP" in my mouth and body.

    Good job and glad you didn't give into the "sabotagers" LOL! My coworkers do that to me all the time. Whether they mean to or not. They know I am very strict about the foods I put in my mouth, but they still try and get me to eat it with them?! SO...WAY TO GO!!! :happy:

    Congrat's that's some strong willpower! Show's when you set your mind to something how strong we actually become! But you would think that one day someone out there will figure a few people do want to be healthy and they would offer a wrap or some kind of chef salad or fruit bowl or something on those "chuck wagons" ..... GREAT JOB that really deserves a high five, pat on the back and of course the HAPPYYYY DANCEEEE!!!! :)

    Thanks for this post. I actually thought about it again a little while ago when I was on lunch.
    One of my coworker's mom made fresh pork tomales for us. I decided I will eat 1 and only 1 and eat my fruit and veggies I brought in my lunch.
    One of my other coworkers decided she was going to eat 3. She's such a brat and was telling everyone I ate 3 and she only had 1. Then she kept saying, you are only going to eat 1? REALLY? They are so good how can you only eat one? I said, yes they are VERY GOOD and that 2nd one will taste just as good as the 1 I ate. I don't want to make myself sick! See what I mean by "sabotagers" Goodness! :tongue:
