    They will seem a whole lot less appetizing if you think of them as snot cookies or turd brownies. Just sayin.

    free office treats don't have calories

    True story.
  • I learned a long time ago my weight isn't anyone's issue but my own, and throughout life there are going to be "temptations"...holiday treats, going out to restaurants with friends, birthdays, people bringing in unhealthy eats, ect. ect. and you can either approach it as an obstacle, one that can or can't be overcome, or treat it like you've made the decision to live a healthy lifestyle and aren't going to eat the food because you no longer choose that type over lets say, a snack pack of nuts or fruit. I had a girlfriend who was equally as tall as me and a size 2 and the girl ALWAYS ordered an appetizer, main course, dessert and side dishes when we went out and never gained anything. That was her metabolism, not mine, I have to deligently count calories and write down everything I eat, if I decide to have a chocolate treat I must do the math to add that onto my time on the treadmill. Office parties when we have pizza or high fat pastries I will bring a lean cuisine pizza or a packet of oatmeal so I can still have the social aspect of being around people but not throw my healthy eatting off track. Maybe in the begining people couldn't understand it, but after time they didn't care. I explained to them the importance of what I was trying to do and they were supportive (and if they weren't they never said anything) so if telling her this hurts your efforts and can it please be moved doesn't work, you can either a. pretend those treats are made up of ground bugs, or b. smash them with your fist is your willpower can't take it anymore! LOL Of course I am just joking on those last two tips.
