So someone brought mini blueberry muffins to work. I went out to the frig to get my grapes for snack and their they were . . . . those cute little delicious mini blueberry muffins. I said to myself, I can have one if I count in the calories. So I looked at the calories and they have 180 calories (or 160 or something like that). And I decided that was just too many calories for such an itty bitty muffin. So I proceeded to the frig to get my grapes. I bypassed those cute little mini blueberry muffins (that someone probably sneezed on anyway :laugh: ) and came back to my desk with my delicious, clean, beautiful green grapes. :bigsmile:

    Excellent willpower mommared!!! You truly have your goals in sight! Congrats!

    I find that I certainly feel stronger.. Like I'm a better person for passing up all the 'goodies' everyone else is munching on. Great Job!

    One of my managers brought in Free Pizza for everyone . I had one baby slice and people kept insisting I eat more .. but i told them I had breakfast not too long ago and eventually they gave up and i was proud of myself for my will power

    AWESOME JOB! I have to fight with myself over snack choices just like you did today and i'm so glad you made the right choice! It's so hard to overlook those tasty fattening treats!

    I get tempted all the time at my job:grumble: !! We always have cake, cookies and food!! Because there's always someone leaving the company, getting pregnant, starting the company, getting a promotion, married ... So of, course being the pigs that we are we seem to always celebrate by bringing food:indifferent: ! i commend you:flowerforyou: . Even I have a hard time resisting some of the food.:devil: Especially when it seems to always be in my face! I'm learning now to bring my own little stash of healthy foods that way I won't get tempted by the fatty stuff! :wink:

    Keep that mind set and I know, you will reach your goal in no time!!
