I am a newbie..I am trying really hard.I am just starting,but I am cutting things out so it won't be that hard later but its Monday and my boss just gave me a vanilla cupcake..I feel guilty even telling you I am having thoughts of eating it...but I know you will all keep me honest.

You are pre-op and just starting the journey? Or you're a new post op? Either way, you know the vanilla cupcake is a bad idea because of the sugar and carbs. Either give it to someone else or trash that cupcake in a way you know that you can't go back and get it. There is nothing of redeeming value in a cupcake, unless it's made of Protein. If you're a new post op, it's going to hurt to eat that cupcake, too.

Good luck! THIS is the part of WLS that's tough...making better decisions about what goes in our mouths.

Tell your boss that you on a diet and thanks but no thanks. No one ever questions someones diet. They won't be insulted.

I agress with IsB. Just tell your boss that you are trying to cut back on sugar for health reasons but thanks for the offer.

I always just say no thanks and have never hurt anyones feelings. If it is first thing in the morning just say you are still full from breakfast. If you are really worried about it go ahead and take it but I would trash it right away because the longer it sits in front of you the harder it is to resist!

Hello!

Have you seen then nutritionist yet? Mine has been real helpful. She helped me with these situations. You can say no thanks or you can have the cupcake in moderation. My nut says to eat anything I want, but only a small amount. We have to live life. I am pre op and surely have nutritional goals (daily), but I eat what I want. I have been loosing weight!! Feels weird to eat what I want, keep my daily goals and loose weight. A fantastic feeling!!! I must say!!

I have made many small changes, but I don't feel deprived of anything.

I would allow myself a quarter of the cupcake and go on a the minute walk or make sure to get some extra steps in.

Wishing you the best!!!!
