I've been doing really good and staying away from the snacks that always seem to be at work, but today they're having a bake sale. I have to walk pass the darn thing everytime I go to the bathroom and let me tell you there are some pretty scrumptious looking bake goods on the tables. I just had to vent. :grumble:

    Don't give up what you want most for, for what you want for the moment.

    Stay away from the table!

    We have a monthly pitch-in to celebrate b-days/anniversaries. One of our coworkers makes beautiful and delicious cupcakes. Since a number of us are on MFP, she brought in the recipe and added to the MFP datatbase. I divided mine in half and shared it with another. It is possible to take part without overdoing it - and the treat doesn't need to be eaten in one day...

    For me, I think about how I feel before I eat something like that (great! Healthy! Happy!) and how I WOULD feel if I gave in. (Sluggish, nauseated, headachey, disgusting, like I let myself down, like I want to eat more and more and more)

    It isn't worth giving in at all, for me. Because ultimately one is never enough. One will lead to a binge. A binge will lead to self destruction of something I am working very hard at.
    So, as your friends have said, be strong and step away from the brownies and know it really isn't worth it.

    Cruel and unusual punishment.

    Maybe add an extra 15-30 minutes to your workout today--and half a brownie.

    You can do it! Make sure you leave your money at your desk so you don't give in on your way to the bathroom!
