Default Can I cry now???

I'm at work and it's dinner time. I open a brand new can of tuna that I purchased this morning and it has a strong odor to it. I think oh well gonna try it anyway. I put one bit in my mouth and almost ralfed. It's rotten!!!! So I am stuck here with no food except the carb filled vending machine. I call DBF (no d is not dear) and he is like sorry, can't help you. What?!?!? I mean I have the friggin money I just cannot leave the front desk. I know it's kind of a long drive but geesh.

So now what would you do, fill up on peanuts out of the vending machine or starve for the sake of staying below carbs because of induction (that and we can't have peanuts?!?!)

Oh that is TERRIBLE! If it were me-I think I would probably suck it up and eat a handful of peanuts. Just enough to get me by until I got home. I mean you have limited choices and sometimes you have to make the best choice you can under the circumstances.

I feel for you.

Default Peanuts

Go for the peanuts. Just don't go for any high carb foods. Hang in there. And keep a back up meal at work next time. Or take an extra can with you. Remember your goal, and resist.

Good Luck!
