I’m not one to cheat on anything. I love following the rules and sticking to plans but I fell off this week. I am not sure as to what sparked my disinterest in eating healthy but all I want is cake. I have yet to find a vegan recipe that looks/tastes like my grandmother’s chocolate cake. I also haven’t had her cake in a long time so I might have put the amazing cake on a pedestal. Either way I need to stop craving sweets. I work in an environment where I am surrounded by foods that are classified “bad” for you and I just want to say screw it and eat everything. Have you ever had such a hard week that everything is going wrong and all you can control is the meals you put in your mouth?
Today started out fine just fine at work. I was sticking to my plan and I was getting work done. Later in the afternoon I had so much going on. I always feel as if I am not good enough- that the time and effort I put into something isn’t noticed or is overshadowed by the constant negative feedback. Is it too hard to ask for a simple thank you? I know that I am playing the “woe is me” card and in the scheme of the world my problems don’t matter but sometimes my only outlet is this blog. I will say it again and again I am not appreciated. The steps I have made within my career are not the ones I wish I chose, but I made the choice and now I have to make the best of it. I did make some friends that help keep me sane. They also keep me positive enough not to ingest a whole cookie cake. I should thank them more. To deal with me on a regular basis is a huge chore. They keep me in line and I love them for it.
