I was reading Citygirlbites blog about tempting treats in the office and it got me thinking.  Lucky for me I work on my own, so if there are any tempting treats in my office it's my own darn fault.  I do have to deal with temptation though, as do all of us.  In fact, last night was a hard one for me - my son's hockey team had their wrap up party and it was pot luck so you can imagine - potato salad, lasagna, chips, cheesies, chicken wings, butter chicken with fresh naan bread, samosas, pizza and Dairy Queen ice cream cake.  Yikes - it was like someone read my mind and presented me with a smorgasborg of every irresistable food that I have been avoiding even thinking about for the past two and a half months.   The hardest thing was every well meaning soul who said, "Oh go ahead, a little bit won't hurt you.".

So ... what did I do?  I thought of all of you.  I thought about all the support I get here, all the words of advice and encouragement and all of the hard work and dedication it has taken to get me to where I am today and I reached for the veggie plate.  I had a little chicken and some salad that I had brought along so that was manageable.    I drank a lot of water too, that helped a lot.  It wasn't easy, but it was doable.  

So thanks guys - without even knowing, you sure helped me last night!  Just another way the support here is really making a difference in my life.  Have a wonderful day!
