Hard Work

So many of you know that I am trying to lose weight! I also decided to quit smoking at the same time. The smoking thing is a lot easier then I thought. I really don't need it and I have realized it. If I want a puff I could have it and still know that I would not start smoking but I am not going to have that puff.... Now that is will power!

Ok so the losing weight thing... Not so easy. I have been on the diet for 3 weeks. I lost 5 pounds. Not bad considering that I have not fully followed the plan cause last week I was sick. This week, I am determined to do better. I have been doing better until today that is!

My job involves entertaining people and getting them to try food. So today I had a menu tasting. I have to with my clients, try the food that they are going to have for their dinner. So at lunch time I have to eat a full dinner. It is kind of hard to not eat with my clients. "Yeah you eat the food and I am just going to watch cause I am on a diet" Yeah right... The other thing is not eat all of it but that is hard as well. It also looks bad if I don't eat almost all the plate cause then it looks as though I don't like it.

So tonight, I only had 2 points left for my dinner! Screw that! I had a really bad supper. After feeling like shit, I got up, put on my snickers and did my exercise. Yeah that is right, I did them. It was hard and I did not feel like doing them but I did!

So I say, I can quit smoking, well I can lose weight!

Do what I do, it always works:

Don't eat more than half of anything, less than half if you can get away with it. At some point in th convrsation, say something along the lines of how you have to discipline yourself not to eat such delicious food, but you have an average of 10 tastings a week (total lie, but what do they know??, and clearly hotel food is a TREAT, not something you are meant to eat every single day. That way, you don't have to eat it all, and if your client DOES eat it all, you have already given them that suggestion that this IS a treat....because maybe they just fell off their OWN dieting-plan by eating your food. Everybody's happy.
