Food temptations at work
Any food pushers at your job? I know it takes time for others to see we are serious about the changes we're making. I've caved at times but am getting bolder in holding my own. Recently someone planned a potluck and I said I won't be eating anything but I'll bring the plates and utensils for the group. I stuck with my own…

Dress Code
Scrubs or no? I wear the classic ciel blue scrubs. So easy to hide in right? I noticed that the leaner women I work with wear them more fitted, not baggy, so there is no room to grow. Next time I hit the uniform shop I'll remember this. I love uniforms b/c they simplify life and are one less decision to make. Cheaper too…
