Day 2-working in a bakery is hard!

[freshstartrebecca]

I started yesterday on my day off but went back to work today.  I work in a small bakery that specializes in cake.  There are always scraps of cake everywhere to eat!  Cookies, brownies, you name it, there are scraps.  Products also need to be tasted and it is so hard to resist! Sugar is a big deal for me and always has been.  It is a form of comfort since childhood. 

The smell of doughnuts which usually have no effect on me almost knocked me over today! They smelled so good.  It is weird to crave things you don't normally eat.  I keep thinking about how great an accomplishment it will be for me to do the Whole30 while working in a bakery, surrounded by treats every day. That is the thought I try to keep in my head while at work.

Fortunately I have co-workers who are also trying to stay away from the sweet stuff.  I'm the only one doing the Whole30 but we remind each other of our commitments.

I can do this!

We had a pastry chef do the Whole30 a while back, it's totally do-able. Working in a bakery is my dream and my worst nightmare at the same time, LOL!

I work in a cafe and totally hear you. On day 12 here. You can do it! It's kind of fun to develop other ways of knowing if a product is going to taste okay, too. Smell and sight are my new ways of knowing if something is okay. Good vibes and all the best to you!

I've done a Whole30 while working as a bartender at a restaurant, and the combo of alcohol & bar food & late nights was definitely tough some days.

Good on ya for embarking on this!
