Well I got to work on my usual unit at work today after three days away on another unit thanks to the flu lockdown. It felt so good to be back where I belong. I work at a very unique retirement community. It has several buildings and many different units. I work in the main building where the long term care patients area at. But there are different units that all have different types of patients. My unit is alzheimers/dementia. When I say this place is unique , i truly mean that. Everyone is treated like it is their home. And we function like a small community. There are no visiting hours , families come whenever they want. The dining room is like a large kitchen that is all treated like a home. No hospital type meal trays. Its truly a great place and I love it. We have special meals once a month or so... And today was one ...
PIZZA HUT DAY ..... Really ??? My patients loved it ... they were so happy ... and they ate like it was going out of style . One lady was licking her plate clean .
I seriously puts vicks under my nose so I wouldnt smell it as much ... I know I am insane . We sit and eat with the patients usually. And some people need help just to eat. TEMPTATION ... And everyone saying , just have one piece, stop being so crazed about your food. GRRRRRRRR
I succeeded ... ate a huge salad ... and ate the topping off of a small peice of pizza ( cheese and banana peppers ) ... I was NOT gonna eat that pizza crust. And tiramisu for dessert ... NO THANKS .... I went for a walk : )

WTG, Chryssm!!! Feels so good to get it right, doesn't it? I mean, it's tough while you're doing it, but afterward, sooo much satisfaction that you BEAT IT! :D Nice work. And glad you're back where you belong. :D

Good for you, never heard of using vicks like that;but if it works I'd do it too. lol I heard that having something peppermint or banana flavored is suppose to curb your hunger cravings too so I bought some banana and peppermint flavored chapstick. And keep peppermints handy. Actually I like the spearmint ones better.

And spring .... as a nurse there are times we deal with things we DO NOT wanna smell if you know what I mean ... So the vicks started as a joke but yeah I really did it . Kinda worked too

You are doing so well and pizza is tough as most of us love pizza. Hang in there because you will reap the benefits to get to your goal.

Awesome post - I laughed at the Vicks! What a great idea! Something random I would do. I do the topping off the pizza too, just if I'm in that situation, but the huge salad is exactly the remedy for that. Good job staying strong and coming up with alternatives! Yay you!

I have the utmost undying admiration for people like you Chrissie, you are a peach. My Mum spend eight years in a nursing home with Alzheimers and Parkinsons and in the end Cancer. the care she had was unbelievable, and on the day she passed away three of the carers were in tears. you are a special person and Im so glad there are people like you in the world.
