Torture

[cjsmith]

Yesterday's free lunch: pasta in assorted sauces, with bread and butter.
Today: someone brought in Krispy Kremes and left them by the microwave.

I don't for one minute think other people should have to change what they're doing for my comfort, but my God, I never knew how AWFUL this sort of thing could be. I am getting a major education here.

edit: AND there's an Enforced Fun at the office tomorrow! Guess what we're having! Pizza and ice cream! I think I feel an attack of bubonic plague coming on. *eyeroll*

Have you never dieted?

Not where cheating could make me seriously chronically ill, no. Also never when I've had to eat my own cooking, and also never when I've not known how many months/years I'd have to be this strict. This is an eye-opener.

[edit: I wonder if the worst part of this might be that I'm viewing it as a stricture imposed upon me, rather than a choice I am making. If I viewed it as a choice, and if I truly believed I could get back the ability to run or hike in trade for the ability to eat most food in the USA, then it might be a choice I'd be happy making.]
