OK, remember the chocolate chip cookie story? I know
I do. Well, that very same lady who made those delicious cookies came into work this morning.....with more cookies. These ones were twice as thick and looked amazing. I was prepared to decline her offer of her homemade goodness when I heard her coming toward my desk. "Robyn?" I heard her say. I turned around. No cookies. But something was behind her back. She proceeds to say, "I know you've been watching what you eat and I'm really proud of you. I made everyone more chocolate cookies, but I brought THIS for you..." I looked down and an immediate tear came to my eye. She had brought me my very own little Ziploc baggie of fresh strawberries and a granola bar. I was so touched. I couldn't believe she would think of me and my quest in healthy living. I hugged her, thanked her and hugged her again. That really meant so much to me.
See? Just when you think you have to alter your entire world to be healthier, someone notices and supports you in the most unique and kindness ways. Thank you, lovely lady. You're a real pal.
This one's short and sweet. Just like my co-worker.
XOXOXOXO

(I used 1/3 cup regular sugar instead of sweetener.)
Ok So i tried to reply and i wrote this bog ol reply and boom it got deleted. So I decided to write it again. Okay I feel super bad about baking those cookies and shoving them down your throat. I guess making desserts and seeing peoples looks of satisfaction is what I love. I guess it comes from also struggling with my weight and image you always crave for some type of acceptance and I always knew it would never be for my body or my face so I really got into baking because i needed to feel accepted, I guess that carried over into my adulthood. Sounds lame huh? But sometimes life just guides you in a direction that you never knew possible. What you thought was your bottom was actually you finding your way out of the hole. Sometimes it takes barfing all over to realize that a change is needed. You deserve better. I always used to day dream what it feels like to be a skinny "yoga bytch!" While I was eating a big ol cheeseburger LOL Now I just day dream about a better me. I will bring you fruit everyday if that is something I can do to show my support. You are doing it girl and I am super proud of you and you have inspired me to change my blue print. My sister and I call working out burning the butta (thats butter to you my little white friend) lol So go burn that butta girl I am right there with you. Also stop referring to me as a "lady" cant i be the brown girl at work? Cuz you know you only know one asian person! lol
