I work at the most heavy eating nicely catered company out there - every event and meeting has catering. This ain't no wheat toast either - this is nice fat sweet danishes, freshly prepared chocolate chip cookies etc in an unlimited amount. Then, every day it's someone's birthday and there's a cake or something high calorie to eat. I personally am flying banners all over my work area that I am getting Phit and now, after a couple of months, they dont' even ask me anymore. When one of the girls kind of made me feel bad, I looked at her with the sweetest face and smile and asked "why do you care what I eat"" I am trying to get in shape, why don't you just support me? She looked kind of shocked but she doesn't shove cake in my face anymore. LOL

I completely agree with this one. Its like everytime something good happens, lets celebrate and there is massive amounts of food leftover! UGH! I hate it!!

Its like whoa people needs to quit celebrating with food and celebrate LIFE! :)

The other day when we went to friends house, I didnt want to get off track so I said "I can bring a green salad" I guess my salad was really yummy cause everyone said "this is the best salad becca". I was really happy about that! :) :)

I have always been frustrated by how much our world revolves around food. Church potlucks, meetings, celebrations, funerals, do we always have to focus on food? It would be one thing if it were healthy choices, but we all know that the majority of the people aren't thinking celery sticks and carrots for these events!

Preach it sister!

WHOA! That is just plain ridiculous. I am actually quite disgusted w/ society lately also. Everywhere it's easy, FAST FAT FOOD. And food fests like this one. In fact, there is a monster box of donuts in the break room at work right now.

It does not make it easy, that is for sure!

I am jumping up on this soapbox too!! Seriously, I thought I would be the "bad" mom who sent in healthy foods for my kids' birthdays. Now the schools have adopted a "healthy food only" policy for birthdays. It's about time!!

I agree wholeheartedly! It's difficult enough to fight the voices inside your head that sometimes want you to make bad choices, but is much worse when you have peer pressure pushing it so hard. My Mom is oftentimes frustrated by her work colleagues throwing "parties" with nothing but junky choices. Sometimes it's all you can do to bring what you think you should eat, and it's great if others will eat the good food as well, but if not -- bonus for you! You get all the good stuff for yourself.
