my superhuman self-control

[swingchickie]

somehow, i have managed to not devour a gallon of ice cream today. i'm quite proud of myself, that's my major comfort food in times of stress. and considering that i've had 2 customers die in the last week, and monkey is going to need to be hospitalized, and things ended with D... i think i should be having a threesome with ben and jerry.

one of my co-workers was an absolute doll today, when i told her what went down last night she took me out for a cup of coffee. ("out" meaning down the hall to the hospital cafeteria *chuckle*.) i vented a bit, wiped away a few tears, and we talked a lot about all the changes happening at work. it was just what i needed. although i did learn something that annoyed me... one of my co-workers talked about me behind my back yesterday, questioning something that i did. i wanted to send a card to the family of the physician that was in the hit-and-run the other day, from my whole group... i didn't need money from anyone or anything, i just sent a message to the team saying that i was sending a condolence card from all of us. so yesterday, this teammate supposedly called another one and was like, "*sigh*, so we REALLY need to send a card? why is she doing this?" i'm horrified. i hope she never has a tragedy in her life, where everyone thinks that exact thought... she will feel very lonely grieving by herself. argh.

i'm looking forward to my first WW weigh-in tomorrow. i've been a good girl (i even managed to resist veggie lo mein at lunch today, that was HARD), so i'm guessing i'm down a pound or two. just have to keep saying... "no ben & jerry's... no ben & jerry's..."

i'm back on WW, too. It is truly amazing how it works, and is so painless. Unfortunately, since i've been back i've been worse than a slug, and while i followed the plan religiously, i didn't drop at all. i plan to keep with it, though, because i know it works.

are you back in the states now? i've been a slug and haven't kept up with your LJ... if you haven't done it yet, join the LJ group "ww over 30", they're very supportive. i just joined.

Out of curiousity, what do you do for a living?

sales. plain and simple. which is why this is so unnerving, it's no occupation that you'd normally have a hig fatality rate in. *morbid chuckle*

I have come across people who bother more about money than about feelings.. It totally sucks.. i wish i could find a WW here :(

if you really want to try it, they have e-tools, which is an online version of the program. it's a small monthly fee, and you can track everything online. not quite the same as a meeting, but if it helps... :)
