OH the TEMPTATION!

Note to self: Do NOT open pics that are labeled "Cake.jpg" when dieting, only a week out from a show.

Thanks for the food porn ... Glad to hear you resisted. The one bite isn't worth it cuz you'll just want more.

haha, exactly- that's my problem... one isn't enough! Best of luck in your show! Keep ur eye on the prize!

Been There!

Fug it. Id eat everything...eat it all, then get sick, then barf in the plant at the end of the hall.

When I in college, I was a few weeks out from my second BB show. I couldn't resist... went downstairs to dorm commons (they had subway, pizza hut, mrs. fields cookies) and just WAY OVERDID it.

Afterwards- I felt so guilty I forced it up... warning, a little gross here: the food still wasn't broken down, real thick... by the time I was done I had caused so much pressure in my head all the capillary's around my eyes had burst... I looked like a raccoon... last time I ever did something like that! haha

hHAHAAHAH I am a BSN RN in the NICU and today I brought two things of cupcakes, and resees PB cookies.. im 2 weeks out.. there was pizza, pulled pork bbq, EVERYTHING.

I would put it in my mouth, chew it, and spit it out lmao.

haha, yes, I'm familiar with that practice... never tried it personally, but I remember in high school wrestling all the lighter guys trying to make weight and they would often do the same thing.

For me though- I don't know if I would trust myself!

yes

I'm with you Myo - sweets are my weakness. I feel your pain bro. I work in an office with lots of ladies and everyday there are eithe rmultiple dishes of homemade sweets (cakes, cookies, brownies, etc,) and/ or Bagels from Panera and/or Donuts from the local bakery. Shit kills me!

And as far as your goals, etc, etc, research leptin levels/ refeeds! Assuming of course you are follwoing a correct diet day-in/ day-out.

Yeah, I know what you're getting at U... I hear you. The leptin/neuropeptide y/stress/calorie relationship is very interesting. My trainer has me on pretty decent diet right now. This time around it was more the "being caught off guard" that got me. Just strolling into work into the breakroom and BAM! Woah! Wasn't prepared for that!

So, probably like most here, I typically have a cheat day one day a week. For me, it's usually Sunday's... pizza, or Indian or Chinese food. Pizza yesterday, not too bad, a few slices, a couple brownies and a bowl of cereal.

BUT... dum-dum-DUM!... This is "Nurses Week." Nurses typically often "self-medicate" our stress with food, lots of carbs. Several times a week you can find some kind of sweet on the breakroom table. But with Nurses Week, the food ABOUNDS...

I walked in this morning to find this...

ALL day it was calling me... Get some Milk, go EEEEEEEAAAAAAAT! 12 hours of agony. Sip some chocolate LBA's, get over it... NO! Not enough! I want it! I want it!

Victory! For today at least... it's going to be a long week.

Clarification: I DIDN'T CHEAT... that's why I said "Victory!"

I feel your pain bro! Im a nurse too and this week has already been covered in fudge and fat! I've been strong so far but tomorrow is the monthly nurse's meeting and it is gonna be torture!!! I will also, inevitably have, 20 fat nurses saying "come on, one cup cake aint gonna hurt ya"

My peers hate it when I don't eat junk with them!
