There's all kinds of food up here at the office for Valentine's Day, and not a single bite of it isn't filled with sugar or starch. Worse, it's all in the empty cubicle next to mine, and so I'm stuck here smelling the food all day long and listening to everyone else yak about how good it all is.

I don't find most of it to be very tempting, but the huge red velvet cake with cream-cheese frosting is absolutely killing me. This is my absolute favorite dessert, and I can smell the sugar in it from here. I didn't think to bring meringues or some other kind of "legal" dessert that I could eat instead. I ate my lunch (stuffed cheeseburger and green beans) early in desperation at 11:30, but they're not helping very much. I've drunk 2L of water so far this morning, but it's not doing the trick either. I don't usually have terrible sugar cravings -- been LCing a while now, and never was a big sweets fan to start with -- but it's TOM, and that's not helping at all.

I am absolutely determined not to eat even "just a tiny piece" of that stupid cake, but it's just killing me. However, I'm that much less likely to eat it for posting this thread -- I'd hate to come back and tell y'all that I ate it after all. I need to be accountable to someone else right now, because being accountable to myself just isn't working today!
