I am almost in tears. I am getting banded tomorrow and my work is having a pitch in today. Big crock pots of food all in the training room. Deserts all over the place and Here I am with my broth and carrot sticks.

I swear I could grab the whole freakin pot of sloppy joes and eat the whole damn thing. I am not even that hungry but my willpower is really taking a nose dive. I really just want to go down their and eat the whole thing.

All I have to say is thank goodness everyone here knows I am getting banded. So if I eat they will all know i cheated

You poor thing. Stay strong, you WILL be able to eat those types of things again, just not in the immediate future.

Here's a (((((((cyber hug))))))) for you!

Thanks. It just sucks. Here at Christmas time and all this great food and I cant have any of it.

But I am Stronger Then the Food! (I will just keep repeating it.)

How much longer do you have to be around it at work??

Cerrin,

I do feel for you. This morning they were baking gingerbread men in the kitchen here. Christmas is definitely a tough time to be on liquids! When I picked it, I thought "oh how tough can it be?" Big words coming from a fatty!

But I try to keep in mind that the reason I wanted to do it now rather than AFTER the season is that these ARE my bad foods and if I waited, I would have an EXTRA 10 pounds to take off. Who wants that?

I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and trying to send you positive thoughts.

Steph

Hang in there. I am drinking broth with string beans right now, and got a flavored decaf coffee that smells heavenly, so with all the food circulating, especially the kalua cake with fresh whipped cream, I am smelling my coffee very deeply.:biggrin1:

I have another 3 hours left with people. Thank goodness the lunch is over. They cleaned it all up and put it away. I am ok just Extremely hungry

Thanks everyone for the support. I swear I was in tears from the smell of all that food. it was the hardest thing I have had to do not to eat it
