Dear General Public

Equus5374

I am one of your friendly neighborhood paramedics and I work in the local fire house. While I dearly appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness when you bring in brownies, cookies, cakes, pies, etc., I'd like to let you know that I have no willpower when it comes to those things. Like now, there's a table full of brownies, cupcakes, pies, etc. from the leftovers at the local bake sale. I am going nuts trying to resist them. Please do not torture your public safety personnel like this.

With much appreciation,

Your Friendly Neighborhood Paramedic

Thank you for the enlightenment. I can really relate to this. I know the public means well, and (especially Americans) will resort to sating the sweet, and fat tooth. I am not down on Americans, as I am also American. We could learn a lot from the Asian cultures on what to feed our bodies with. Bring Atkins bars with you to work and when everyone is chowing down on carbs, you can have a treat that is better for your body.

I'm a nurse and I can relate so much. Even though I appreciate patients, family members, doctors and reps, it's hard to say no to sweets. It's my downfall...lol good luck, I've just started bringing frozen grapes and its saved me more than once.

I will bring you some of the left over veggies from the ladies banquet at my church today. Sorry we ate all the fruit.
