So my first week back at work was long and tiring, as I suspected it would be. Baby e was pretty good, he is still getting used to daycare but wasn't any worse this week. M is picking him up after work, because he usually gets home before me.
Anyway, back to my rant. At work before I left, I was obviously pregnant, and I would eat anything. I probably would have eaten lint if there had been food on it. So I come back on Monday, with all my lunches and snacks planned out so that I am on Weight watchers properly and have enough points left over to have dessert at home and not be over in my points. So what do I find on my desk? A donut. From a very well intending friend, so I couldn't really not eat it.
I still had my dessert that night, even though it took out some Flex points. then 2 days later, that same friend brought in "low calorie cake" (she printed the recipe out on Friday and it is NOT low calorie), so I had a small piece. I still ate dessert that night too, figuring no one else could possibly bring in any more food and I just had to be good the rest of the week. Then on Friday my desk-mate (her desk is right across from mine and she sees everything I do) gave me a Strudel to eat. Sheesh.
I can pass by a buffet full of desserts if I know it's going to be there, but I find it really hard to say no to someone who specifically brought in food just for me. it is like saying "I don't appreciate your kind gesture". I HAVE to learn to start saying no. I lost 0 (ZERO) pounds this week, because my will power isn't strong enough.
On a good note, I went on the elliptical this morning, and plan to start going on it every night (or at least 3 times per week) to help with the weight loss. Now that I have started top realize I can't fit what I used to do all day into 3 hours in the evening, I can shuffle things around and make time to go on the elliptical in the evenings once E is in bed.
