Unexpected Weight Loss Benefits

My office decided to do a weight loss competition (that I am not winning since I am the only one working out and building muscle, ahem), and most of the other offices around campus know about it. The unexpected side bonus? Apparently all of the coworker parents out there are telling their kids not to come sell crappy chocolate to us since they know we're trying to lose weight. WIN. Now I don't even have to feel guilty about sending disappointed children away from my office (or, more likely, angry parents who view my non-patronization of their children's schools' fundraising efforts as some sort of betrayal).
