Getting off the road and into an office

I thought when I got off the road and into the office it would be easier to drop some lbs. Was I ever in for a surprise! The boss caters in food and goodies 3 days a weeks and the other employees are always bringing in baked cookies, cakes, snacks, etc. LOL!

Someone brought in 2 of my very favorite cakes yesterday, double chocolate and German chocolate! It's definitely a challenge. At least there is always fresh fruit around and we have a refrigerator in the lunch room, I've been bringing in some food stuffs and making my own lunch, which helps.

    Also love German Chocolate! I've got to start bringing food in too. I go out way too much. Eating ok when I go out, but I'm eating the same stuff all the time (Dunkin donuts egg-white flatbread, slice of pizza, etc). Spending too much $$.

    I work in a small Real Estate office and people are always bring in goodies (candy, cupcakes, pizzas, etc.). I always wonder why they have never bring any fruit bowls. lol I guess its the office life.

    I'm actually working at our corporate office (learning the ropes) which is about 80 miles from where I live. The company pays from my hotel and all food expenses. Thus, I can eat what I want whenever I want and the company pays. Can you imagine. No wonder I was starting to put on more weight by being in an office!

    I will be working out of an office in my hometown starting December. I will be by myself and won't have to deal with all the goodies being brought in by others.

    You said they were some of your favorites, and I tried to think of a cake that wasn't my favorite.


    I couldn't do it. :ohwell:

    Good luck. It's the same for everyone.

    Blinders.
