You did great this week Bob, but all those treats are a big no no, your diet is for life, and treats are ok once in a while but you should change your focus to healthy foods, like salad and a burger instead of the fries, and a small cone instead of the sunday. You were lucky this week but you will need to work hard this week to stay healthy. Not great news about your job but now you have an opportunity to move ahead. 8 years - wow - sometimes companies make bad decisions for right reasons - I am sure they will regret their decision - they have invested 8 years in you. I know your future is Great, take time and act wisely. I am proud of you. On a good note, you can't get laid off from your diet!
