For reasons I will never understand, the two male pharmacists I work with have to be "staunch" and never take breaks. Including lunch. For ages this gave me a massive guilt complex, but after having worked for six months in a situation where I did a similar thing with no choice in the matter (I was a sole charge pharmacist) I refuse point-blank to ever be that stupid again. But it means that people bring them food into the dispensary, which is not a great idea in the first place, and it always ends up sitting beside me when I'm checking dose packs. Grrr. If it's non-aromatic it's usually fine, but when it's little pies and things I get quite antsy...Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654869872368776026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311145116280206975.post-23475493142255103122010-12-05T03:40:36.272+13:002010-12-05T03:40:36.272+13:00It really is hard.

I'm lucky to be in a new location this year, where there are about 100 people sharing 1 break area (before, only a small portion of us shared a break area). So by the time I know that any goodies have arrived, the voracious Online folks have already demolished them (or horded stacks to take home).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311145116280206975.post-17062080357488917702010-12-04T15:24:27.911+13:002010-12-04T15:24:27.911+13:00Oh, god, isn't it almost funny when that happe...Oh, god, isn't it almost funny when that happens? O_o I'm fortunate in that I have one other workmate who has basically permanently put herself into a body-sculpting training programme, so at least I am not alone in saying that I don't want to eat crap or drink alcohol. I have to admit that in the end we both kind of share the comments, though to be really honest in general we're really well supported. Christmas just isn't a good time for bowing out of the food festivities...Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654869872368776026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311145116280206975.post-36565105347479621372010-12-04T14:33:36.114+13:002010-12-04T14:33:36.114+13:00Actually, lunch went well.

A coworker from another city has lost a lot of weight since she started here (used to get tips from me), so my boss focused in on her and her food choices instead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311145116280206975.post-46109886709248107802010-12-04T10:27:27.642+13:002010-12-04T10:27:27.642+13:00It's kind of odd, in that my workmates were re...It's kind of odd, in that my workmates were really supportive to begin with, but it's turned a bit odd since...I'm already being asked if I'm not sick of the food and things yet! Never mind. In the end, this sort of thing is our choice and if we can do it...then we do it. <3<br /><br />I hope that the lunch went all right for you; I did find it hard at my work function last month in that I wondered if I ought to have the brownie and my GOD I loved that bread a little too much, but in the end...we make our choices, and we have to make them for ourselves. I had cake the other night and I understand now I made the choice for someone else, not for me, so...next time? It's all about me, dammit.<br /><br />But yes, it shall be "feast day" on Chritmas and then back to the grindstone.

I think trying to get her to stop doing that (attention? I hate it) helped contribute to gaining back 14 pounds in about 6 months. It's a jealousy thing. They wish they had the same willpower, but since they don't, they try to break down their own so they don't feel so bad. "Well, Claire's on a diet and <i>she</i> ate it..." "Ruth's supposedly so healthy, but I definitely ate better than her..." yada yada.<br /><br />I'm being taken out for lunch to celebrate my birthday tomorrow by my boss and coworkers, and I really don't want to. I'm not in the mood to relax my intake--I'm feeling great eating less this week. I don't want to deal with her commenting if I choose a healthy option or heaven forbid refuse dessert.<br /><br />I'm rooting you on to do well through the holiday season. Give yourself a "feast day" on Christmas Day, just try to only eat until full and you'll do fine. がんばれ!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
