that as soon as we make a commitment or re-commitment there seems to be food everywhere,
The smells are stronger. The commercials are more often, the ads that come in a Sunday paper or in the mail are brighter and clearer.
Even pop ups on my computer are food related.
But MaryL big step, BIG MENTAL step you took.
You are aware. That you noticed. You noticed before your hand and mouth did.
I don't know how old everyone on here is, but I just turn 63.
I remember when "Eating Out" was special.
When a cake or even a dessert was special. Even at home.
So if a cake came out at our house, you bet I was going to eat a piece, because we wouldn't see another one for months,
Back then you didn't do class room "extravaganzas"
It is very nice for your company to celebrate its employees in that way......
If it is someone you know personally, make or buy them a card so you "celebrate" with them. If it is "Just another birthday" then wish them well.
I said all that to say this, your awareness of food,and seeing it for what it is, was a giant step.
