I just got my first job as a waitress and I actually kind of like it. The only problem is the food I am around. I am eating vegan this summer so that has helped a little but I constantly find ways to justify eating french fries or drinking sprite from the soda gun. I tell myself "I exercised this morning before work and ate healthy otherwise so it's okay." or "I am on my feet for 6 hours so it cancels it out." except it doesn't. Is effecting my weight loss this summer.

Does anyone else work as a server and have this problem? Temptation is staring me in the face all day. Any advice?

Any good mantras or ways to keep myself from giving in? I am doing good outside of work.
