Today I wasn't just offered a muffin, I was practically bullied into taking one!
I haven't spoken about my dieting to people at work, mainly to avoid questions, comments, encouragement and other things that make me cringe or feel under pressure.
So today a colleague thrust a box of cupcakes under my nose and with others looking on (people gather like flies when there's treats around!) told me to take one.
I felt like a had to.
It sat on my desk for a good twenty minutes as I waited to be alone so I could palm it off on someone else or bin it, until I eventually talked myself into eating it instead. The first junk food I've had in weeks. It gave me a sugar rush and then crash, and I felt sick.
I've no idea how many calories I've eaten today now, and I'm feeling quite down about it.
It's so easy to fall into the "oh noes I had one cupcake! EVERYTHING'S RUINED FOREVER!" mindset. I keep thinking how much more weight I would have lost if I hadn't eaten it. :cry:
It's only one cupcake, right? Nothing wrong with a cupcake every now and then.
