I Love My Job/ I Hate My Job
I work at my boys’ school. I love being there with them. I love being on the same schedule as them and not having to find daycare when they’re not in school. I love working with most of the kids and most of the adults. 
I do so many different things each day that it’s impossible to be bored. I love having summers off. 
I love school food in all its highly processed, high glycemic index, high fat, high salt, high everything bad glory - so I hate my job! I am in the lunchroom for all the kids’ lunches! I eat lunch after everyone else does. The temptation is so hard most days! I sip on a bottle of water, I chew gum, I nipple on something healthy, but still - it can be hard. I haven’t even mentioned all the little goodies that the staff brings in for birthdays, etc. or the Wednesday lunch buffet that members of staff take turns hosting. Ugh! To be strong for a day is one thing - to stay tough day after day after day is another! :(
There is a glimmer of hope. I might be able to change my duties. I’m applying for a different position in our school that I think I will enjoy just as much and it would get my out of the lunch room. I think I need to find a mantra that I can repeat to myself and a buddy right there at school to vent to! I MUST have a plan to get me through everyday!
On a positive note - I’m 3 lbs lighter today (wohoo, yay me 
)

That would be hard. stay strong! Try planning your meals ahead of time.
I completely understand your struggles. I volunteer in the kitchen of a nursing home. I always end up with the evening shift, which means right around dinner time I am staring at all this food. I feel like I have tried everything - I have a healthy snack before I go, I try to to be around the food as much as possble, I try reminding myself about my great dinner waiting for me at home, but I always find myself sneaking into the fridge after dinner to grab a bite of whatever was left over.
LOL. I wish I could give you some suggestions that might help you out, but I have no idea what to do either.
Good luck on getting that new position though!
way to go w/ your loss!
*sigh* i lerv school to… but… that’s just because, i’m a MAJOR dork…
I totally understand. I volunteer at my daughter’s school for lunch duty so they can eat outside if they want. I am usually starving by the time I leave. It’s the smell that get ya! I do not eat there though. lol My daughter is in the seventh grade. Not cool to have ur mom eat with ya. Congrats on ur weight loss!
