Today one of my coworker's wife (also a good friend of mine) brought in fresh cinnamon rolls to the office. My coworker walks into my office with this huge cinnamon roll in his hand. I took one look at him and said "Get Out!". He made my office smell of sugary goodness...but I still resisted the urge.

They were sitting on the table in the lunch room as well when I went upstairs for lunch. I sat and ate my veggie pizza, grapes and yogurt and was quite satisfied with that.

I have only been doing this a week and the scale said I gained 2 pounds this morning, so I was feeling pretty depressed. I am very happy with myself because I am an emotional eater and I would have gobbled one of the rolls up in a heartbeat.

I was also given this article by a friend mentioning it is very common to gain weight when starting a new routine. This made my day knowing that maybe next week I'll see a drop in my weight!

    Weight fluctuates like 1-5 lbs due to water weight, etc. If you just started, it's probably not a "gain" just a random fluctuation. That's why this site says to only record weight periodically. Great job on resisting the dang cinnamon rolls!
