My Job is Making Me Fat

[Mrs. SnowStormRN, RN]

Before I came to work today, I made myself a pact

That I would lose 20lbs, so I ate a healthy snack

I took report from my fellow nurse, who was slim as she could be

As she ate her banana and granola bar, it was motivation for me

I walked up to the nurses station and spoke to everyone

Before I could put my jacket on, the damage was already done

Next to a lovely card sat a basket of chocolate treats

Oh but I have willpower and this will not be my defeat

Lunchtime finally arrived, and I was hungry as could be

My fruit, yogurt, and salad was happily waiting for me

But when I arrived to the breakroom, much to my dismay

Was a donut, danish, and muffin bar looking straight my way

I started to feel very weak, my blood sugar must be low

If I ate just one muffin, no one would have to know

Oh the sweetness coated my lips, and the donuts looked so fine

I better eat that chocolate one, im sure its suppose to be mine

The day is nearly done, and that is good for me

My diet day didnt go so well today, but tomorrow better be

Im going to eat only what I pack, and nothing more I'll seek

WAIT! Tomorrow is the first day of "Nurse Appreciation Week"

I've decided this place is the doom of me, I know you think its my fault

I should accept responsibility, because thats what I've been taught

When someone asks how my weightloss is going, Im truly avoiding that

My answer will surely be, "GEEZ! I cant help my job is making me fat!"

ha ha ha.. just started as a nurse and i am trying to be so mindful of mindless snacking and taking good care of myself. its hard cuz i work noc shift so my sleep schedule is all messed up. but also working noc shift, there is less temptations at work b/c days and evening shift eat all the stuff and they never leave any for noc, or it looks 'questionable' and im not about to eat a doughnut that i dont know what happened to it all day...

some tricks that i have found to help me keep the munchies at bay... eat din before work (i work 8hr shift, and i have to be at work at 2130, so i eat din w/ my fam first) and brush ur teeth before heading to work. this really helps b/c i am really into clean teeth and cant stand the fact of something sitting/rotting my teeth for 8 hrs, plus, im soo tired when i come home i dont have to brush my teeth again i just have to shower and then snooze. also, dont pack anything 'bad' to eat at work. i have so much temptations at home.. all those chips and cookies in the pantry, so for work, i pack only healthy stuff and never bring money to buy vending machine stuff. also, trying to squeeze in a workout when im not too tired. something is better than nothing, so walking for thirty min on the treadmill beats eating chips in front of the tv for thirty minutes...
