The Third Day

Third day was not the charm. First day at work on the diet. I thought I was really prepared. I brought eggs for breakfast, some meat for a snack a huge salad for lunch and a hard boiled egg for a snack. Breakfast was great ...and then i headed into my meeting where there were plates piled high with bagels, bananas, muffins, danish's, doughnuts. I felt like someone did it just to punish me. It smelled so so good and for a moment i thought to myself, what if i just have a little bit. Instead I sat as far away from the food as possible, even though that meant yelling to my colleagues across the room. Thank god for the distance on the table between me and the pastries...i could have gone down a bad road! After the meeting i left and everything was fine, out of sight out of mind! Third day with no sugar and i am down 4 pounds as of this evening!!! I feel really good. Have to stay prepared and bring more snacks tomorrow, don't want to be hungry which could lead to a black out moment where i eat everything in sight.


One other funny story. I went to the grocery store to stock up on meats and some more veggies. I needed a lime for a recipe. Well, I saw the them in a pile and there it was,  a glistening jewel of a lime and I knew immediately that was the one I had to have. I went for it without thinking, not wanting anyone else to take my beautiful lime! God only knows why they put the good ones on the bottom, where this particular beauty also happened to be. I was to excited to think about the logistics of the situation or the structural integrity of the pile and of course they all came tumbling down. Green lime balls rolling around all over the floor. Good thing they don't break...because I would have been buying!
