Boston Cream Pie.  Red Velvet Cake.  Apple Pie.  7 Layer Dip with Chips.  Pineapple Upside Down Cake.  Chocolate Cake.  What do all of these things have in common?  They’re all in the office refrigerator waiting for the 3:00 monthly birthday party to begin.  That’s right folks.  I’m subjected to this kind of crap every single month.  Not to mention all the other things I’m subjected to weekly.  Tortilla chips and dip (any kind) are my major weakness.  But that red velvet cake and the pineapple cake look insanely delicious!  And when I opened the fridge to get out my Slim Fast, I could smell the Boston cream pie, and it was amazing.  I want to give in.  But I really don’t.  Nothing tastes as good as thin feels, right?  In fact, just today a female attorney expressed her awe at my weight loss and how good I look.  That is definitely a motivation builder.  Up to this point, they have always had a veggie tray at the monthly party.  Today, no veggie tray in sight.  So I’m not even going to go into the party.  And I’m going to fill up my water in the kitchen now so I won’t have to go in there for anything after the party (the kitchen is where they put all the leftovers).  I can do this!  I really, really can!  I’m holding out to splurge again until my birthday.  And today is NOT my birthday!
