    I know how you feel. I fell to temptation today because a coworker brought a pie to work today. At least I just got half of a slice.

    Be strong! Everyone at my work decided to bring all their easter leftovers here, so the kitchen is FULL of cookies, cakes, homemade mac n cheese, and enough bread to feed the entire Faerie kingdom. Oh and Candy, could not forget the BOWLS of candy! Needless to say, I have not stepped foot into the kitchen this week!

    Be strong, and hold on. This to shall pass. I have been there, I went to the waffle house one night with some friends and ate everything that wasn't nailed down. I felt really yucky afterwards. Look at all you have lost. Be Strong!!!!:smile:

    Good job! lol!
    I have a really hard time as well. I live in Guam (it's a tiny island south of Japan) and it's in the culture to EAT and share food. So my coworkers seem like they're ALWAYS bringing in food so I have to fight this on a daily basis. But it feels good when you resist, better than if you were to give in.
    But it's okay if you just have a little bit here and there, it depends on the type of person you are. For me, a little bit means MORE! hehe

    Ewww no you don't. They taste like, *insert your most hated food here*! Besides, they use this thick block of white shorting and still wind up so dry, you need to wash them down with something to drink.








    Did that help? :)

    At a WW meeting one day the leader described a doughnut to us. She said if you take it in one hand and hold it out...squeeze it as hard as you can and you get a little ball of dough and sugar and a whole lot of nasty grease running down your arm! Do you really want that doughnut now that you know all it is is a tiny little ball of dough?? YUCK! my husband gets doughnuts every Sunday before church...good thing they make me sick!

    JMarie, I call these people "food pushers." Stay away from them and their tempting treats and also ignore their offers to go to your favorite fast food resturaunt every day.
