You must be a candidate for sainthood by now, no ? Your dedication to healthy eating is an inspiration, thank you!

I like this a lot :happy: Don't get mad, get even!

It's been fine the past few days. I just make sure to eat every couple of hours (not easy b/c I'm on two medications one you take with food, the other you can't take within 2 - 3 hrs after eating). I haven't had more than a piece or two since Monday :happy:

No customers at all, we are actually in a very remote location so we rarely even have visitors.

Why no more jello ? Are you avoiding sugar (I assume) ? I eat the sugar-free but I would love to kick the artificial substitute habit in the near year!

Well aren't you just an absolute troll...bad karma for you. I THINK I WAS PRETTY CLEAR WHEN I SAID THE LUNCH ROOM.

That doesn't even make sense?!! My co-worker KNOWS I LOST WEIGHT, SHE KNOWS I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SUGAR and SHE INTENTIONALLY MOVED THE CANDY DISH BACK ??? I consider that pretty mean spirited and question if yes, she's means to sabotage me...Misery loves company and she is always battling with her weight / diet...

I am never satisfied with a liquid breakfast. Now Jello on the other hand as a snack is perfect! I guess it's solid enough to seem like food :)

I like how you completely ignored my previous question...

Don't they have "their space" in their office ? I don't have that unfortunately. No office walls, no cubicle, just a big open space...

It had a printer on it a long time ago. Hmm, that's a thought, to move the table. Once Christmas is over, it's bare. I think I'm make a note to move it in a few months when we are busy so I can avoid this next year :)

How about smoking in front of a co-worker that kicked the habit ? When you had somewhere else to go but couldn't be bothered...

Well isn't weight loss a first world problem for us all ?? I highly doubt you are on MFP to gain weight. If you are on here to maintain, it's b/c you lost weight. There are people starving in other countries, just saying...

ndj1979: We did not poll the office for the record and I highly doubt that any other colleagues would care where it was, as long as they can get to it. This was one person who moved it back one time.... I guess you can't help but be defensive, how sad for you. I congratulated you but you didn't extend the same to me. I…

Let's no argue but at least agree you would not sit bowls of candy, potato chips and a piece of pizza at your desk you sit at 8 hrs. a day / 5 days a week, right ? Just like at home I sure you keep these items in the panty and you can go to them when you want a treat. You don't leave them out in the open all day long.…

Exactly, thank you!

I would never say that. And it should be noted there are numerous other goodies typically in our lunch room this time of year (like most offices). I resist b/c it is out of sight - out of mind. This is purely about it being so close to my desk and someone deliberately putting it back in my face.

I tried putting fruit in there before last year also (to share) and that also got moved and replaced with candy. I can't believe how some people are reacting to this. I didn't "take anything to management" and we don't have a policy about it. It was a simple conversation between employees. I highly doubt I would be viewed…

I wasn't easy admitting I have a problem with sugar. I felt like a child. I was being sincere when I said it. I have also mentioned int the past I have a history of diabetes in my family. Yes, I know sugar isn't the only culprit but it's pretty bad and contributes to an unhealthy lifestyle when abused. I like your smoking…

I'm going to do this b/c it would be helpful. Skinny cow is great!

I thought about that and I think it's a great idea :smile:

My mother told me if I can't say anything nice...I would definately say jealous...She's made comments in the past about my visiting the gym like "you can't do that everyday". This response was unprompted as I did not ask for her opinion.

I never said I was going to dump it in the trash for goodness sake...I wouldn’t take it to that extreme. I did not intend to “hide” it either, just simply move it to the lunch table which is also a public place everyone can access. I tried this before and someone moved it back in front of my desk. I guess I’m in the wrong…

I'll try that again and see how it goes and just continue to move it. It didn't work last yr. but I'll have to wait an see.

I'm sorry "rants" would imply plural as in more than one rant. What other rant do I have ? Clearly I have spent time in the past dieting / exercising, how else did I lose over 20 lbs. ?? Anyone with any experience will tell you maintenance is the harest part. We are all human and give in to temptation... I noticed you just…

Agreed, it's a huge part of the problem in the US regarding rising healthcare costs. Obesity, lack of exercise, healthy food choices.

The Scarlet Letter - my favorite!! any type of mythology too like the Illiad and the Odyssey.

Yes, I agree. I think many women blame the pill and not lack of exercise / poor diet for a large amount of weight gained. I am on the pill myself as well as most of my friends. I would say we gained anywhere from 1 -3 lbs max. I have heard though the depo shots are a bit tough. I have seen a few girls I know really put on…

Trivora 28s - pill for about 8 yrs, maybe a pound of two gain but only when I first started taking it. I would say no side effects.

Agreed, the sunken eyes, drawn face not a good look. Good for you turning over a new leaf. That is huge!
