Had a meeting last night and they brought out a HUGE fluffy cake with a soft lemony filling!!! Holy Crap!

I declined...omg...hard, hard, HARD! There I stood, up against the wall sipping my coffee. ...and watching 30 women melt as they tasted this piece of heaven !!!!

okay...what's the good point to all of this rambling?...it's the fact that I just polished off a HUGE steak with fried veggies for breakfast. (it's now 9:00 here, I have been eating since 8:30....lol) while all those women are probably trying to "make-up" for last nights treat ...and living on water with a few crackers ...LMAO. It was hard to resist BUT well worth it!


I just had to share!

Happy Halloween....stay safe.

Cinderella, I was just posting about this very thing in my journal this morning. I used to think of being offered cake and such as extrememly challenging. Now I love to be offered desserts just so I can show off my newly acquired "I can say no to dessert" skills.

You guys are too much!!

I get to test my nerves of steel tonight when I have my hand in a big bowl of chocolate to give to others!

POWER TO THE LOW CARBERS!!!

With it being Halloween week candy is everywhere. And on top of that my son had his 14th birthday party last Saturday. Bought him and his friends a huge chocolate cake with vanilla cheesecake mousse filling.

I DIDN'T EAT A BITE!!! AND I DIDN'T MIND!!!!

It really felt good not to eat it.

I'm starting to feel more confident about making it through the rest of the holiday season. I'm on a roll!

Cinderella:

U GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know how difficult that must have been for you to decline but how gratifying the next day! I'm proud of you!!

Hey, thanks for the inspiration! You did great!! Actually, you did much better than I did last night under the same pressure... will consider this a lesson learned!

Life is not fair sometimes! The office is FULL of food of all kinds (except the low carb kind, of course) today since our office decided to bring goodies to share today. I brought a cheeseball and have been eating some of that along with some fresh strawberries and grapes from a fruit tray. There are a few dips that I can have also. Especially good is one called BLT dip. OMG! I have the recipe now and that is on my list of things to make and take to functions. It is out of this world. I'll post it in the recipe section when I have a chance.

YES!! Please do...it sounds like it's just my kind of thing!

I gotta say....

I have a wonderful supervisor! While she brought in Krispy Kreme doughnuts and apple cider for our unit, she also brought string cheese and summer sausage for those of us who are on low carb.

WOW Lisa...sounds like you've got a great supervisor. That's pretty thoughtful! I'm sure those Krispy Kremes were lookin pretty good but at least you had something there that you could eat. Sure beats having to watch others chow down. Best part is, you have no guilt later on. Too bad I can't say the same for the others. hehehe

Kim

mmmmm string cheese & sausage.... how nice of her! And the doughnuts for the others! That's really great. Hope you have an awesome Halloween.

Congrats to everybody who blows off the cake -- and the pounds!

Well I have a tub of chocolates here for the 'trick or treat' kids and I have managed not to indulge - not even the orange or coffee creme ones!!
However I am not going to push it, I shall take any 'spares' into work tomorrow, there's only so much will power a girl has on a Friday night

Thanks everyone.....and thanks for the great ideas too....love the string cheese, sausage, cheeseball, dips.....YUMM

.....lol.....SO TRUE!!

I gave in to 3 of those little "Snickers-type" chocolate bars. They're in the small Halloween treat packages and they're about chocolate-size.

Does anybody have any idea what the carb count is on one of those things? Approximately?
