    I dont know how I feel about companies ceasing the work day to talk about nothing and eat crap.

    Its a form of team building and building a strong team. Everyone gets to know everyone and the team works more on a collaborative level. I think more offices should have time like that and encourage employees to mingle even in the work setting. We are a much more productive team because of it.

    really? Cause it looks like youre complaining about the problems its causing.

    Where do you get that I am complaining? I am merely asking for some thoughts on how to deal with the tempting treats that are in the back room, and starting a conversation for others to also think about the same things before the holidays hit.

    Keep a reminder like a photo or remind yourself of a piece of clothing you want to fit into to remind you of why you want to loose weight I the first place. You can also bring in a healthy alternative to hold you over. Personally there are so many sweets around my office lately that I'm already getting sick of all the treats and it's not even Christmas yet ????

    The good thing about Christmas is that is comes EVERY YEAR. I can give up a year a splurging and save it for next year when I plan to be at my goal weight and will just plan on extra exercise throughout the season. Although I'm not planning on swearing off all treats this season, I am definitely planning on scaling back significantly. I may just have a treat or two Christmas Eve and Christmas day, not a treat every day at work or any other holiday functions. If there's one thing we all know about bad food, it's always available! If you're still on the journey to your goal weight, keep that in mind. When you reach goals or are at a place where not losing or gaining a pound or two isn't the end of the world, go for it! I just know myself and once I give in, it's hard to stop and the cycle repeats! This isn't the last time you'll see some of these foods so just take a raincheck! :)

    I often bring a healthy snack to share... that you love and is on your food plan. You'd be surprised how many other people will eat it when there is a healthy snack on the table.

    Maybe solicit a few of your office mates to do the same thing?

    Something I read a few years ago really clicked with me - Nothing tastes as good as losing weight feels! - this becomes my daily sometimes hourly mantra this time of year.

    Love this
