One of my co-workers keeps a HUGE stash of chocolate in his desk. We are all welcome to it. In the past, I would dip into it a few times a day. He pointed out to me that it has been nearly 2 months since I have visited his drawer. I wanted to make it 2 weeks, and after that, I just didnt care to eat it. That is a big deal for me.

    Awesome NSV!!! With the lifestyle changes you have made you suddenly realize there's nothing in his drawers sweeter than losing weight! Good for you! Keep up the good work! :flowerforyou:

    now that you mention it....I have always had such a sweet tooth too, and always am a sucker for chocolate. since joining MFP and going to the gym, I really haven't had a problem staying away. makes me thankfu I work from home, and am the only one responsible for the treats in the drawer!

    WTG!! I think you're on to something.....once you've gone without for a while, it doesn't seem as tempting anymore! Awesome!

    I'm on the opposite end of this. One of my job requirements is to keep the candy bowl on my desk full. If I don't, I sure hear about it! Most days, I am able to resist... :smile:

    Great job! On a side note, don't you find it odd/creepy that he's been keeping track of how long you've kept away???

    We dont have many people that work here, and I told him at the beginning that I wasn't going to be visiting him as much. He said "yeah, we will see how long that lasts" and wrote it on his calendar. He told me today though that he can tell I have lost a lot and is proud of how well I have done.
