Ugh! I'm at work right now and one of our vendors just dropped off two HUGE platters of Christmas goodies. Seriously??? Only in the past couple of days have I gotten to a calorie deficit. To boot, I'm hungry and I totally want to go to town on these goods. Sigh. I'm eyeing one of the choc. covered pretzles to have with a cup of tea.....but will I be able to stop at just one? Or do I not eat any because sugar leads to wanting more sugar? That whole food debate is going on in my head.

    I settled for a small handful of cashews, a choc. covered pretzel rod, and a piece of peppermint bark with a cup of tea. This will be my afternoon snack. If I eat anymore, I'll have to tell on myself here :)

    Ok, so far in our office they have brought 3 trays of nuts and Chocolate, a box of hedgehogs, a giant box of Purdy chocolates, another box of Chocolates and a huge plate of homemade goodies, including sugar cookies... And of course they leave them out in the open for everyone to walk by all day long. I have done pretty good, but man it is so hard to not stop everytime I walk by. HELP!

    Bring a healthy snack with you to work and then have just a little of the good stuff. I haven't been doing well with the whole planning ahead thing, which is why I got stuck here with no snack.

    My boss just handed me a bunch of money and told me to go to Nos Berry Farms tomorrow and pick up 5 dozen cinnomen rolls with pecans
    possibly the best cinnomen rolls in exsistence I might add.

    I work the front desk and people ALWAYS leave the goodies on my counter. UGH! It drives me nuts. So I will leave them there for a couple minutes to see if I can resist, and if the temptation is too much, I will either take one and move the tray to the showroom where I can't see or smell them or I will move them right away. I think goodies should be illegal at work. :explode:
