Epic NSV

Okay, so maybe I exaggerated, but it felt epic to me!
Today I walked into work and was completely blown away by a MOUNTAIN of home made baked goods that occupied our break room table. Brownies, cupcakes, muffins, cookies, rice crispies drizzled in chocolate on a stick, fudge... It was like I fell into a hellish Candy Land where my arms were possessed by sweet tooth demons, desperate to try the chocolate cream cheese brownies!
Apparently we had a bake sale on Saturday, and the leftovers were then given to all of us as a thoughtful, destructive present!
My victory today will be told in tales for many generations, for I did not eat a single baked good! I sat at the table, huddled in my chair with the lunch I packed and stared into the belly of the beast of pastries. I have to say that I am very proud of myself!
Good luck in your similar battles, my friends!

I am so very proud of you!! I too work in a place that has snackies all the time, and it is so difficult to stay away from them. I will try to use you as an example tomorrow when the cookies, cupcakes, candy and doughnuts are staring at me!0

It means Non Scale Victory! Any accomplishment that is totally awesome, but has nothing to do with that little *kitten*, the scale!:laugh:0 -
Good job! I had a similar experience today during a group presentation. They brought in a rhubarb crisp and ice cream to enjoy with their knowledge-giving. I ate my banana.0

Actually I was pleasantly surprised recently by one of these in our workplace that included ^^ a fruit platter ^^ So I did join in the socialising without joining in the self destruction.0 -
