Illegal shit

Day 1 of no binging = successful =]  First and foremost I am proud to say I have accomplished this.  Today is the first day of lent and so no meat could be consumed.  I planned all of my meals out, I ended up eating a little too many nuts but it did not lead to a binge and so I am satisfied.

I did encounter a very difficult situation at work today though.  My manager came up to me and said that I could no longer bring in my lunch bag or my own food because it costed him 5 points on the health inspection.  My first words were "are you kidding me?"  at this point I KNEW I was going to become upset, what went through my head?  I was thinking about my competition, how difficult this already is for me, how much I struggle with my binge eating and now I have to eat in secret and sneak out to my car because I can't bring in my own food?  Seriously this shit HAS to be illegal just as much as making us come in 1/2 hour before we actually start work, clock in, and clock right back out for a "break" before our shift even starts?!  For real this place is fuckin shady and I think it's time it ends.  There is no way a place of employment can tell you NOT to bring in a lunch, EXCUSE ME?  but as far as I am concerned every place of employment should have a break room, and I do not think it is legal to tell employees they can't bring their own food regardless if it is a restaurant or not.  I am unsure on what to do, I never asked any questions because I felt the tears coming, and then they started to dip out and so I got on my phone and started texting people about it.  I got really upset because competing is a part of my life and eating things I prepare is another huge part of my life and taking that away from me is like giving me an injury that prevents me from working out!!!

FUCK. THAT.
