I know it feels like sabotage, but odds are it was oblivion rather than outright sabotage. :-)
I have done really well despite being surrounded by food this week. Everytime I am tempted, I pull out my handy dandy phone app and look it up. I then decide if I want to "buy" the treat by "earning" more calories through exercise. If so, I go for it. I "bought" myself a dark chocolate dove bar today. At 190 calories, it equates to a 30 minute brisk walk or 15 minutes of jogging in the pool (I love this because I have access to an indoor pool at the community center). I figured I was up for that trade... besides it was DOVE chocolate... I can't pass that one altogether. Before MFP though, I would have eaten all 4 candy bars my secret santa left on my desk this morning and then lamented doing it. Now I have a way to put it into perspective and make an informed decision.0 -
I like to give people the benefit of a doubt, and not always assume that they have ulterior motives.
For those of you who find yourself often slighted, think about the freedom you could experience if you simply choose not to believe "they" were jealous or out to get you or being mean or making fun or sabotaging or break-dancing.0 -
I have learned from past experiences, that once I am over the detox stage, I can decide if it is worth the extra couple of miles or not. With me, it is almost like coming off of a drug. I have to go into what is essentially rehab for about 2 to 3 weeks, then I can filter certain things back in. I usually cant handle sweets though. For some reason, after I had my gallbladder removed, anything greasy or with too much sugar and I have horrible abdominal pain and digestive issues. That sometimes helps me make my decision. I just have to do what works for me. And only me. Nobody else is going to have to deal with my diabetes, my shortness of breath, my self loathing, my..... well you get the picture. (at least I hope some of you do) I need support. I do not need ridicule. yes, I barked back. I was being bitten, so I felt the need to defend myself. I apologize if I came off b**chy or "hungry". I am neither of those. I am generally a very upbeat, happy person.0

Mmm after all this cupcake talk, I could really go for a salted caramel one.

Tell your coworkers if they want to bring you treats they have to bring you free weights and running shoes to go with it so you can burn it off while you work, that'll put a damper on the treat airdrops.0

I also hold issue with eating overly processed foods. I feel like chemicals are not good for you
Not really wanting to start a whole lot. Trust me on this, I know cupcakes and quite frankly, it a little irritating how you continually mention "processed" and "chemicals" in relation to the cupcake. You're making a cupcake sound like it came out of a lab. Cupcakes are fairly simple baked goods. Dude, I make an awesome vegan cupcake, using natural ingredients and all that awesomesauce. No, cupcakes aren't always vegan or considered good for you but man, not all cupcakes deserve a bad name.0 -
The particular cupcake in question was made at wal mart. I know it's not natural. And the bleached flour is processed. And would have upset my tummy. I would have enjoyed the taste for a few minutes, but regretted it for hours. I would love to try a vegan cupcake! My bfs daughter is vegetarian and leaning toward vegan and I would like to share with her if you don't mind sharing the recipe. No, not all are terrible, but it's almost all that are. And processed foods in general was what I was referring to. Not just sweets. Some of the preservatives in them I am intolerant to and even allergic too. I ate a frozen dinner once a few months ago that had me looking like I had gotten into a fight. I was swollen and red and miserable for two days and it was the only thing new I had been exposed to. Some people do okay with it. I don't.0

No! If I DO eat a cupcake, it will definitely be one worth the time to make up for it! Homemade or specialty cupcakes.0
