Hi Jules,
Thanks again for your comments, they really mean a lot.Congratulations on the added weight loss!! Oddly enough, Elizabeth and I had this conversation a few weeks back. Picture that pie (your favorite flavor), fresh out of the oven, with ice cream and whipped cream. Hungry yet? Now picture what that pie would look like...hanging from your thighs!! (Why cant I stop rhyming???) Still hungry? I didnt think so. I know I dont want to spend the rest of my life with a pizza butt and whoppers w/ cheese for lovehandles. I have discovered that 95% of my cravings are all in my head. You have several options here...1) go into a different room when the pie is brought in 2) bring a healthy treat to keep your hands busy and mouth occupied while your coworkers are filling up on excess sugar and calories. I suggest yogurt, a fruit cup, or a veggie plate. I bet that your coworkers will secretly envy you. Not everyone can say no to treats. Trust me, you are much stronger than you think. And if you do eat some pie, remember that you will have to face yourself sooner or later, and sometimes that is the worst punishment of all. How do you explain why you betrayed yourself?
I know it is hard to back away from somebody you love. My temper and clingyness, and being naive and scared really did me in this time. I have calmed down a lot since. The communication is far from what it used to be, but I am not giving up. I truly think we are ment to be together, despite what has happened in the past. I realize that we both need time to heal. I think if I was lucky enough to cross paths with him in the first place, it was ment to happen. At this stage in life, I dont think I am supposed to endure anymore heartache by meeting the wrong guy. I just have to stay positive and not back down with all aspects of my life, not just one select area.
