Making the right choices.

Today we are having a party for a guy that was let go last week due to a "reduction in force". He's been with our company for 17 years and I have worked with him for 8 of those. He was told on Thursday that his last day would be Friday so we couldn't pull a party together that quick. Anyway, for the last several years when his birthday would come around I would fix him Swedish Meatballs and boy are they yummy. I told him that if he would come in today I would fix them for him. When I got home last night and started putting it together I figured out it would be over 400 calories for just 6 of those little boogers:mad: . I told my husband there was no way I could eat those for lunch. I would be starved to death. So...I decided to bring something I could eat as well as the meatballs for my friend. Now I'm going to be having a delicious and lo-cal lunch AND make a friend happy. Where I was going with this is that another coworker told her boyfriend (who needs to lose weight) that I wasn't even going to eat the meatballs because of the calories and he said that he was amazed at me being so dedicated and he's proud of me.:happy: I'm just hoping that one day he will see that if I can do it He can do it and join me. It's all about CHOICES.
