Lunch was just delivered for our Board members. There's HUGE bowl of fresh fruit....strawberries, blueberries, watermelon chunks. The Board will be leaving in about an hour and I know there will be lots leftovers. Do I eat the forbidden fruit?? What will the damage be? It looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good.....

Help!

All I can say is...don't do it! LOL

Put the fruit down and just walk away. That's it, just walk away. Nobody needs to get hurt. We are all here for you, please just put the fruit down and walk away... gently.... slowly... thats it.

Grab a cheese snack, couple of nuts or go to lunch... You will feel much better if you don't cheat. Fruit will still be their when you are ready - no need to rush.


Stay strong.

Don't do it... just think about how physically yucky you'll feel afterwards... and how PO'd you'll be at yourself for giving in to temptation.

It's not easy, I know first-hand. I was out of town for two days this week and had to eat out. GEEZ!! Lucky for me, I was able to convince the wait staff to "alter" my meals. I'm still not entirely sure that some sort of sugar wasn't lurking somewhere. . .

Hang tough... you won't regret it!

well, is there a chain on your wrist? LOL Is it pulling you to the platter? Is someone forcing your mouth open? LOL hmmmmmmm I have read your posts, and i KNOW you can resist this. BUt, may I suggest here, that if you are beyong Induction, A 1, single, mono, uno, berrie may be ok, so long as you stop there. DOc says so, right? So, I am telling you to be strong, and also rewarding your inner child. But, you get to decide, yes?? LOL

Man...y'all are tough!!

I've been on induction levels since the first of May and I've had a couple of small cheats along the way. Nothing major. I know I should just back away from the bowl, fork in hand, drool on my chin, and I probably will. I know that if I get one, single, mono, uno, luscious strawberry in my mouth, it won't be enough. The funny thing is....there's a huge bowl of pasta salad in there too and I have no desire for it. The bowl of fruit just looks so darned pretty....all red and blue and pink colors. Maybe that’s why it looks so desireable. Maybe I should wear colors more often. Hmmm.

Ah well.....thanks for your words of encouragement, Atkids. I'll crawl back in my LC cave now and eat my chicken and swiss cheese. BUT I’LL BE BACK, MR. STRAWBERRY, SO WATCH OUT!

Sigh……
