I survived Thanksgiving Luncheon at work!!

[ANITELI]

Wow can''t beleive how determined i've been.
At work we celebrate the holidays by reuniting for lunch and having a different covered dishes.
So today we had our thanksgiving luncheon. I mean they had stuffing, potatoes, garlic rolls, banna fruit salad, pumpkin pie,cheesecakes, rice, you name it.
I just can not beleive that i was able to have trukey with greens (greens i brought from home) and sit among all my co-workers and their carby dishes, and not even go for a taste. The smell was so good and i have to admitt it was tempting, but i fought with my self, and i declared victory.
My favriote holiday was thanksgiving because of the food....not this year!! The only uncomrfortable thing is having co-workers ask me why am i eating this way, or telling me a bite wont hurt. The great thing is i have survived and i'm celebrating with a bottle of water!

I didn't think i had it in me, i am learning alot about my self and i love it...way cool!!

Well done Aniteli!
And you know... the more you are able to declare victory over temptation, the easier it gets! It's a win win situation.

All the best,

I haven't even started the Atkins diet but I'm already dreading Thanksigiving and Christmas... my family just are great holiday cooks

So now is the time to get some of them on your support team and finding some good Atkins-legal recipes they can make for you all to enjoy!!

Many of the 'traditional' dishes either ARE or can be made Atkins-friendly by substituting ingredients.

I often take induction-legal dishes to events and they all get gobbled up by non-Atkineers who just can't believe they could be 'diet foods'.
