I've been wearing sugar goggles, but now I see!

[easytoforget]

We had a pot luck at work today and I didn't eat anything on the table. All I saw is sugar! I ate a late breakfast and drank a lot of water so I wasn't hungry, but I brought salad and a cheese stick from home just in case. My coworkers weren't very understanding about me not eating the fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, taco salad, guacamole and chips, soda, and chocolate cake with buttercream frosting. My supervisor asked me in front of everyone if I was on "some type of special diet or medication". I thought that was kind of rude. A coworker even shoved a corn chip in my face, but I did not give in. I had a piece of string cheese instead.

Hi easytoforget!

Kudos to you for staying strong in the face of such strong temptation.

I was at a gathering not long ago and was faced with similar food choices.
The one thing I did eat was some of the fried chicken WITHOUT the flour-laden skin. It was quite tasty!
Like you, in anticipation, I too brought along some salad.
Between the salad and the chicken, I ate quite well!

In our "low fat" brainwashed culture, most do not understand why we eat the way we do.
As your weight falls off, your coworkers will notice and be much more amenable to how you eat.
This is where you will have opportunities to help save others from the ravages of "sugar"!

Good for you easytoforget!!! That was kinda rude for them to shove it in your face like that! You should've shoved some cheese in theirs! haha...Just think of the better outcome you'll get! I feel the same way. Where I work, at the grocery store we have a small deli, and everything there is fried! Yuck! All I can smell throughout the store is the nasty smelling grease!! People line up for that stuff to! I want to scream Fat To Skinny rules at them!

Good for you for sticking to your guns. That's hard to do sometimes.

Your results will speak for themselves, and as your coworkers are coming to work in their overstuffed pants, they might remember your willpower. Or your cheese stick ...

Oh you did great!  Every little victory like that will make it easier for you too!  I remember when I first started FTS, and dealing with the "breakroom gatherings" at my office.  One guy kidded me by calling me "sugar free jan"    .....He doesn't make jokes anymore.     Sooner or later, people WILL see that this WORKS!!!

I think it's cool that you recognized all the hidden sugar and saw it for exactly what it is. That pleases me to no end. I'm proud of you for not cracking. Next time you have a moment alone with your boss show him this video

[easytoforget]

Thank you all for the support and positivity!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I went to breakfast this morning and explained the FTS way of eating to a friend.  I couldn't shut him up until I explained the simple science of it.  He finally got it! And saying it out loud just reinforced it for me No mooooo no more!

Maddysmom-Just had to tell you, the saying under your profile picture kept me from putting this off It's so easy to make excuses, but I keep playing that in my head.  Thank you

Thank you again mouseissue, snobles, joagain, rena, maddysmom, doug, and umpa!

you are welcome

Thank YOU for sharing that with me Easytoforget!     I had given half hearted tries to losing weight SO many times through the years, and never made it past a couple weeks. Someone asked me the other day what finally "clicked" to make me do something.  Honestly, I don't know other than the fact that I can do FTS and not feel like I'm on a diet.  I love eating this way!

Yesterday I went to a wedding.  I had expected to just avoid the tables at the reception, but I must say I was VERY pleasantly surprised.  Though I didn't go near the cake, there was chicken salad, nuts, strawberries, celery, meat balls & spinach dip too!  Also, you KNOW you live in the south when there's punch & SWEET TEA served at a wedding reception! ha ha  I was happy with some ice water.  This is really not hard at all.

Proud of you!!

Thanks Umpa & Doug!  This past Thursday, I decided to take the "Sherripie challenge".   I have cut my carbs down to around 12 to speed this little process along!  On Thursday & Friday, I felt like I was in detox all OVER again!  ha ha  I want to see MY ticker move like Sherri's did!!!      To be continued......
