Hi im new here to this forum and I have been on a number of low carb diets, (Atkins, South Beach) but always seem to lose my way with it. I just want to ask any other teen with jobs, is it hard for anyone to keep from eating junk at work? When I was in High School last year during my senior year, I did a good job at eating right and not over doing it at lunch time but now that I am not in that school environment anymore I eat a lot more. It sucks really. Now its like if I mess up I start to go on a all day binge. Then I think "well I'll just wait for tomorrow to start over again" and that never happens.

That and I cant eat too little as I used to because I need all the energy I can get for my job, its pretty physical and requires more energy than just sitting on my butt in a classroom like I used to last year. Also at work we get free lunch as one of the benefits and there is also sugary and carby goodies (scones, croissants, beagles, danishes, biscuits) at lunch that are available at all times. They are so hard to pass up.

Anyways I just need more motivation I guess but I just wanted to ask some of the other teens/young adults here that is it easy for you to eat and stay LC and eat healthy while working?
