    I keep myself from eating the office junk knowing those with no willpower will gain the weight! Evil but it works for me! lol :laugh:

    Hey now--pi day is a great event! You can eat it or not eat it, but don't be harsh on the folks who bring in treats. You control your life and your choices, and so do your coworkers. If you want to have a slice of pie and work it off later, you can do that--or not. :)

    Try to stay away, but in case you cave, take three bites, throw the rest away and add in 150 calories. Quiets your sweet tooth without ruining your calorie count. Works for all deserts as long as you take a normal sized bite.

    DON'T DO IT. :)
    Keep it up! I HATE it when people bring in treats at work!

    It's Pi Day! I, personally put eight pies in the breakroom at work! Again, It's Pi Day!!!!

    It's my personal goal to not eat any sweets unless it is for a REAL special/celebratory occasion. 3/14 NOT a real celebration, it is AN EXCUSE to be unhealthy as far as I am concerned.

    Jeez, we "celebrate" anything and everything in this country with fattening things and then WONDER WHY WE ARE ALL OBESE.

    just drink the water! If you still are craving a sweet, have a piece of fruit! You will feel better and not guilty!

    lol! Whichever co-worker of yours brought them in should be congratulated on that particular level of geek... it's Pi day!


    Too funny! I checked it on google:
    Pi Day is a holiday commemorating the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is
    celebrated on March 14 (or 3/14 in month/day date format), since 3, 1 and 4 are ...

    Does this mean we should factor in pie for our calories today?:smile:

    If you don't mind chewing gum, Extra has an apple pie flavored gum (and it's sugar-free) that's really good. You get the flavor but not the calories. They have other flavors too which are all yummy (except the sherbert, I actually got ill off that one) so you can have your own dessert when someone brings stuff like pies and cakes to work.

    I said the same thing!! LOVE this flavor!

    Personally, I'm not overweight because of too many celebrations. Just the opposite...feeling that nothing was special. I have no problem with an occasional piece of pie or cake. Even if I go over that day. And, as long as it's not in my house. If I'm out somewhere, I'm fine.

    I have little willpower to sweets, but a small treat here and there is okay if you figure it into your day. :noway:

    That sucks.

    The boss here insists on bringing in donuts every monday.

    Really. Good. Donuts.

    I have learned from a coworker that what you're craving is the FLAVOR, so he will take like a tiny flaked-off bit of the donut glazing and let it melt around in his mouth. That - he claims - stops the craving.

    In reality, I've found that works about half the time. The other half, I end up wanting to scarf down three of the damned things.

    So... as with so many things... your mileage may vary ;)

    Eating pie on Pi Day was a tradition I started with my best friend several years ago. When she died last year I decided to keep the tradition so it's fitting into my calories today. Don't deprive yourself if you really want it. Fit it in and work it off!

    Eat it if you really want it and it fits into your calories. Don't eat it if you aren't really that interested.

    I like to look at the desserts and think, is it really worth it? Usually stuff brought in is store bought and crappy. I like to think "is it worth the calories?" Usually not. But sometimes my co-worker who used to be a professional baker brings stuff in and I'm doomed.
