[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I am glad this thread is helping people. It’s certainly helping me. Today I had oatmeal and blueberries with pecans and 6 g of added brown sugar. No added sugar for lunch or snacks but I may make some hot chocolate with 5 g of added sugar on this dreary Sunday afternoon. I had a nice run today and did my shoulder exercises. This week is going to be very difficult because I have two all day work meetings where I am being fed breakfast lunch and dinner. Going to have to stay strong to meet the challenge.[/quote]

Good luck with that. Are you likely to get pushback from anybodythere if you avoid dessert? If so, think about what you are going to say ahead of time. Stick with the protein, veggies, and fruit if you can, and if you really need something sweet a cup of coffee with cream and sugar isn't all that bad.[/quote]

This will not be a social pressure situation at all. All of my coworkers are lovely people who would never comment on anything anyone eats. The problem is my own willpower around sweets like bakery brownies and cookies. They aren’t even that good! The pastries at breakfast? Those will be hard to resist. A free soda? Bring it on. When I have to pay for these things there is a barrier to entry and I do have a money loving heart. But around free food my willpower goes out the window. Actually that’s what broke my streak last year, it was a work trip with lots of free food. I really need a plan to stay on track.[/quote]

Oh, I totally get that. Sometimes it helps for me to say it out loud to somebody that I'm avoiding the wheat or sugar so I don't get a headache, and then I'm less likely to eat the wheat or sugar because I've told somebody it's what I'm going to do (and I don't want to look like a failure, I guess!)

But you can do this. Before you pick anything up, remember how bad the pastries and brownies actually are! Drink the diet sodas. Drink the coffee with cream and fake sugar - having a low-cal drink can keep you away from the crappy food. [/quote]
