MY FOOD... Argh!!

I think I might use this blog as a place to log my food for a bit as well.  I am struggling since this last meet to stay on track with my eating.  I have good intentions.  I make my meals like always and then when I get to work I am faced with all sorts of other things to eat.  That's the downfall of working in a building that also has a residence for youth attached.  I can often avoid the food by just avoiding the residence, but days like today get me.  We had a farewell so I went over with the intention of having salad and then eating my food after.  I should have done that the other way around.  I had salad, and some perogies (I really need to get tested for a true gluten intolerance already so I know to either truly stay away or not to worry) and 1/2 a smokie.  Then when the cheesecake came out I had a small piece.  If I had just stayed in my office I would have eaten my chicken salad but then I miss out on the opportunity to participate in saying goodbye to this young person.  The alternative, really, is that I am dedicated enough to my health and wellbeing that I eat my food as planned AND participate in the farewell but not partake in the food.  I used to do that.  I used to sit in a room with desserts everywhere and eat only the food that was "compliant".  I need to get back there because I feel better with that level of strictness.
