I'm starting back at work tomorrow. I wonder how it will be. It's been nice to exercise whenever I want and it's easier to plan meals when you're home. I will have to learn to make up a whole new schedule for my new life. It will feel like I'm brand new all over again and probably need to catch up on things. It took me a few moments to remember how to check my voicemail!

It's at work where the temptations are. Each day 2-3 people bring homemade goodies to work. There's always some sort of snack lying around. At every meeting is a variety of salty and sweet snacks. Food is everywhere!

Girlfriend, I work for a doctor and it is all around me. Twice a week stuff is catered in, reps. bring by chocolate by the bagfuls, cookies by the platefuls.... I can say I am coping really well with it. (Okay somedays are better than others.) Use the force, and remember no snacking... I do it from time to time and have to remind my self to stop or dont start... print out a copy of the 10 commandments of WLS, post it at work, I did... it is here somewhere in the forum. good luck chica!

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment." Kate White

Marie,

I am certain you will handle going back to work with ease and grace.

From reading your posts I believe you to be focused on your goals while having lots of sense to live your life fully.

I often find wisdom and encouragement in your words.

I didn't even know you weren't working....

I know going back to work for me was all my htought process. I worked in Real Estate so we have reps that bring food constantly...not the good stuff either! I found once I got there... I didn't really want the junky food or I had one bite and walked away..never taking a plate!

The other thing I did or actually my fellow agetn did for me, was to tell the reps that I could only eat healthy foods, fruit veggies, low cal or sugar free. You what the reps brought a special plate of something for me every time after that! It was so nice...made me feel special. Sometimes you just have to ask.

Good Luck back on the job.
