threadwalker"Down with Carbs"
Just say "no".
I turned down a free lunch at a good Dim Sum place. ugh. I accepted the invite a week ago and talked myself into declining this morning; it's not "safe" food since it's carby and high calorie and will be an "all you can eat situation", which is a recipe for disaster for me. What a test of my willpower. Not only that, it was a "celebratory" lunch and our project is super stingy about those. So double "ugh". And the guy coordinating it was so nice and tried to convince me to go, but I made my saving throw against Awesome Pork Bun... and I'll be having the lunch I brought from home.
I will have to console myself that Will Power and a healthy lunch are better than Awesome Dim Sum. I need to go chant, "down with carbs" to myself outside for a few minutes because part of me is still NOT convinced this was the right choice. Ugh.

Date: 2008-02-20 09:02 pm (UTC)When I go to a dim sum place, it's actually easier for me, since I decide in advance how many pieces I'll eat, and since they are distinct pieces it's easier to control.
