Yesterday I surprised myself. The department at my company hosts a cookie party to celebrate the holidays. The managers all make homemade goodies, bring store-bought cakes and this year they had a sausage and cheese platter.
When I arrived with my vegan co-worker, we both just looked at the array of food. We each put together a plate of food. There weren’t any cheese or sausage, so I put cookies and Swedish fish on a plate. We got our non-edible gifts and walked back to our desks.
In our area, I offered the plate to a co-worker not in my department. I’d thought I could at least have the Swedish fish, and that was the one thing she asked for. I gave it to her and handed the plate to someone else not in my department.
I couldn’t have done that before, but thanks to Keto, it didn’t even bother me that I couldn’t have the fish.
