Thanks-For-Giving

Today was our annual Thanks-For-Giving dinner at work. It’s your basic turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans and stuffing piled high – gravy slopped over all of it. Then you get a milk, cranberry sauce and pie with whipped topping.

Usually, the cafeteria workers make these plates on an assembly line to get everyone through as quickly as possible. Thankfully, I located a line with no one else in it. I was able to determine what went on my plate.

Surrounded by my coworkers, eating all of the high calorie and fattening items listed above, I enjoyed the following:
  • Once slice of turkey
  • Green beans
  • Dinner roll, no butter
  • Skim Milk

When I returned to my desk I pulled out my watermelon and cantaloupe, which I found surprisingly sweet for this time of year.

It would have been admittedly difficult had it not been for the “atta girl” comments my coworkers gave me. To them I say, thanks.

Todays Motivation: knowing I have the ability to say no and feel good about it
