Work is my biggest enemy! There is a box of Krispy Creme Dougnuts setting in the back and I am doing everything I can to not go back there! Why is it that people bring things like that to work?

HELP!!!!!!!!

    Just think how great it will feel to go home at the end of the day knowing that you resisted temptation! Someone had Death By Chocolate and 3-layer lemon wedding cake in the lounge today but I managed to avoid it. Good luck!

    Couple of things I do at work to stay away from the bad carbs (for us it's bagels every morning).

    1) GUM, lots and lots of gum. Any gum is better then a doghnut! But Sugar free gum like extra
    or something is the best (5 calories).

    2) Preparation is the key to sucess. Bring snacks that you can eat when they are there. Healthy choices like apple with peanutbutter, or carrot sticks and hummos, or celery and low fat cream cheese,
    grapes, or my favorite, Beef Jerky! Have a few of these around and you should be able to fight off those circles from hell!

    3) see if they can move the doghnuts to somewhere where they aren't in your line of site, or ask if they can bring alternates besides them like fruit plates...etc. Not particularly healthy, but they are MUCH better then a doghnut!
    4) (my favorite) start your own trend in the office, bring in a platter of fruit, if the office pays for the doghnuts, ask them if you can have a few dollars for fruit as well, if someone else pays, then see if you
    can find a few like minded people to pony up a couple of bucks a week with you to buy fruit.

    Thanks for all the tips. I have a ton of healthy snacking options here at work, i practically bring a grocery store, but just having those doughnuts there makes my mind crave them, i dont even like krispy creme! lol!

    Resist! Resist! Resist!

    The guy that brings donuts in our office loves to call me personally and tell me they are in our kitchen! Tuesday I resisted the urge to get one and I felt great especially when I went to my step & sculpt class and worked off everything BUT the donut I didn't have!!!
