There's a plate of sugar cookies outside my office. And in the conference where I just gave a presentation, there's a gazillion fresh cinnamon rolls. Two of my absolute favorite sweet treats! So far, I haven't succumbed. If I were the type of person who could have one cookie and not go back for 3, 4, 5, 6 more....I would. But, I know if I have one, I'll be thinking about cookies ALL day long. Damn brain.

It's no wonder I pretty much gained a pound a month since I started working here 2 years ago! :ohwell:

    You are a whole lot stronger than sugar cookies and cinnamon rolls!

    You have the power to decide if you eat them or not. Make the decision that works for you.

    Good one Heather0mc, she wrote up above, just think of the last person, who took a cookie or cinnamon roll, that they didnt wash their hands, I have a problem with a co-worker baking something, and not knowing how clean their kitchen is, or if their kid sneezed near the oven, while baking,
    ohhhh, sooooooooooooooo grosssssssssssssssss

    Long time ago hubby and i bought some baked goodies.. and i was sooo enjoying mine.. but he has the habit of actually " watching what he's eating " :grumble: .. taking a pc at a time and looking at the food. . ( not calorie wise watching ) .. so he looked at it and he actually found a bugger.. ( is this how you spell it ) .. oh yeah.. that's what he found in it... even after 10 years i'm still gagging.. so..
    i try to avoid buying stuff- make it myself

    Try to imagine how dirty the kitchen is.. some people's dishes are not clean.. kitchen towels gross..
    not washed hands - that's important..
    yep.. kids arround the baking - big no no for me..
    maybe they have pets.. the cat was licking while not watched ? dog with the tail arround the food..
    maybe they have roaches in the house ?

    ok.. i can pretty much imagine a million and one thing to gross me out :) and if all that doesn't work
    than just remember the scale.. how you will wish at the WI that you didn't do it..

    stay here with us don't go to that office..
