Help with a question - had a glitch

Hi, I am new to this message board thing but it seems very informative. Thanks to all for the Diet Coke tip. I like to have something other than water now and then.

My question (situation) is:

My boss would not let me leave at lunch today. I work in an environment that does not have access to food of any sort. What I bring is what I get. Since I couldn't leave today to go get a snack (Ran out of Cheese Sticks last night) I only had an old baggie of pretzels from a couple of weeks ago in my drawer. See where I am going here... Anyhow, starved as I was I had to eat the pretzels (about 12 small ones). With no lunch today (thinking I was going out) I am still hungry but not light headed anymore, and was hoping I would not have to start over tomorrow. I have been on phase one for 5 days. Can anyone enlighten me on this? Will it ruin all the time so far?

really could use the help on this one.

Thanks.

I very much so agree with Maggie about everything even your boss being a @#$*&^$!

Thanks Maggie,

You made my day. He is very self centered... and a jerk. Unfortunately I have no other option right now to work. I have been looking for an new job for about a year now and for what I do it is hard to find. I have been looking out of state as well.

As for the food issue, I sure learned my lesson today! I am glad that it should be ok from here on in... I just started this and have 40lbs to loose. It is my last chance really since nothing else is working.

I go to curves 5 days a week and watch what I eat normally. I have tried almost everything else so lets hope this gets the weight down. I have stuck to it exactly until the bad pretzel incident.

thanks again.

Have a good day.

thanks -

My boss is the nut. Ha.

I think he is why I put the 40 pounds on in the first place!

I am an Art Director, which is hard work to come by these days... anyhow it is a very demanding job and he is even more so. I hope to find a new job soon. I applied to the Children's Hospital in Philly, I would love to be there... use my creative abilities for something good... not for these people who just want to make money.

Any how, thanks for the support from everyone on that.

I will stick to it. I am glad I wrote, it is my first time writing and it has really made my day to get the help and support.

I am leaving now to go to Curves and I will do a little extra tonight to get those ugly pretzels off. I have a healthy dinner planned and DEFINATELY will go to the store on the way home to get some good stuff to keep at the desk! I will get those nuts.

Thanks Mel,

Ps. I see you help a lot of people here... It is greatly appreciated by me and I think I can say by all!
