Lead Me Not Into Temptation

Today was my first day as a Rawist at work.  Bringing my own breakfast and lunch was key.  My breakfast kept me full almost all the way up until lunchtime, which was a pleasant surprise since I'm usually ravenous by noon.  My lunch was delicious, but I still wanted something to crunch on afterwards.  I contemplated taking a walk to Trader Joe's, but it was snowy and gross out, so I decided to check out the CVS across the street for some raw nuts.  CVS had a huge selection of nuts, but not a single raw one.  I began to go into a slight panic mode, since now I had my mind set on cashews.  I walked up to the Shaw's, and luckily they had some raw cashews to satiate my craving for something crunchy.  Crisis avoided.


After lunch, my office friend informed me that there were goodies in the kitchen...gah!  Since scavenging for food has always been kind of our bonding point (figures) I went with her to check out the situation.  Giant soft chocolate chip cookies!  My favorite!  I resisted temptation though!  And told my friend I was hoping there might be some fruit (sometimes there is) and told her about my raw food diet.  She seemed into it.  Hopefully since now she knows my secret, I will feel more accountable to my raw food oath and thus more motivated.  


On a completely unrelated note, I decided today to disable my online dating profile.  Since my love slash dating life had been nonexistent, I had started to dabble in online dating a few months ago.  I had mild success, and went out on a few dates with a few guys, but did not meet anyone particularly special.  The one guy I thought was cool and had potential ended up simply cutting off communication with me out of the blue one day, but that's another story.  Anyways, my reason for disabling my account is that I realized that I can't expect someone to be happy with me until I find more happiness with myself.  That, and I hadn't received a message from a guy in a while, and I was starting to feel slightly pathetic.  Oh well.
