Work Function.......

Well yesterday we went to a work function and went bowling and had a great time! We go to have 2 games and Jamie had an absolute ball but Andrew kicked our butts each game he got 169!
But my biggest problem of the day was the food! This is what I had to put up with all day and night.
First they served gorgeous hot and cold nibblies and I could not eat anything, mini dimsims, mini spring rolls, chicken strips, fish bites, meatballs, focacia sandwiches, than they served fruit platters and I ate 4 grapes! There was so much other stuff on there but NO cant eat it.
We go back to the bosses house and OMG gorgeous and than out comes all the food!!!! DAMN food, cheese, crackers, kabana, that sort of stuff my biggest craving for this sort of food. They just cant stop coming around with the platters asking would you like some, I am thinking go away!!!! But still NO, Brenda is great and eats nothing! Wow than the seafood comes out OMG another big temptation but something I can eat and I had a few prawns, yah beautiful!!!!!! Than the BBQ, every salad you can think of sausages steak etc. so I get to have a little piece of steak and salad minus the beautiful breadrolls which I was dying watching everyone eat!!! So everyone is drinking and I am having water, ladies are making everyone cocktails and I am having water!!! But the worst is still to come, out comes the dessert, boxes from the cheesecake shop, as soon as I see this I just thought WHY????? is all this really worth it. OMG I am really dying here now and cringing at the thought of looking at whats in those boxes! But out it comes and we have choc mudcake, cheesecake, tiramisu, fruit flan, ice cream and than this most gorgeous CARROT cake, OMG it looked divine and I had to say NO. I sat around the table as everyone had their dessert, not just one piece of something but 3 or 4 and I just sat their wishing I could have only one piece!. Charlene even said "Mum I don't know how you are doing it" but I had to stay focused and think of the weight I would loose by not eating this stuff. I really don't know where the hell I get this strength from, I have never believed me to be a strong person but maybe I am stronger than I think!. I felt like dying and really wanted to go home, I had a big day with so much temptation and if this week there is no significant loss in my weight loss I think I will go stir crazy and wish I had eaten just something from that day!!!!
It is definitely one of the hardest things to go out with people and eat, I think I need to hibernate in my own home for the next couple of months. I think it will be easier!

All the layouts are up on the Reality Scrap Blog and OMG I am so overwhelmed by the talent this week. Everybody is doing such awesome work and it seems every week is going to get harder and harder. And check out Beth's layout she is my partner and her layout is absolutely gorgeous and glad it is hers being voted for this week. She has been a bit flat lately but managed to do this wonderful layout, great work and good luck this week!
