hi ihavent returned to my job yet, but i a few weeks i will be and im afraid ill be temped to venture off my diet and eat badfood. like mcdonalds and A & W hot dogs. lol mmmm see its hapening already. i want to lose this weight but im remembering how it was before every sunday was pizza day cuz we'd be so busy we wouldnt be able to take breaks so we'd all chip in for pizza. i dont want this to happen. pizza is my weakness. and hot wings and cheesy bread. ugh!!! i know ill cave.i can eat pizza after ilose 44 more pounds. well 44 ish i dont know my current weight til saturday someone help me please!!!!!

 you have to plan so that you are not tempted! take home made lunches to work, but you can have pizza occasionaly.I have one slice of veggie pizza once a week with a huge salad,not as nice as eating a whole pizza but at least i can still enjoy the social occasion and know that the scales wont make me cry when i step on them.

stay strong,and log onto the boards often for support

good luck and let us know what the scales say to you on saturday

Hi Kandlight1182,

I see that you already got some great advice. I agree about the importance of planning ahead and bringing food with you. I also think that it would be a good idea to look up the calories in the foods from the places that you typically order from. There is real power in knowledge. Once you see how many calories and fat there are in those foods you may not be at tempted as you used to be.

Keep us posted on how things are going,
