Oh, Cyndi, I can see that you are sort of captive, stuck there in the office watching your colleagues munch away. It happens to me, too, b/c people in my office eat at their desks all day (CPS work is very stressful---most of the people in my unit are overweight, but weren't that way when they started). It's hard, b/c they eat delicious looking take out (burritos, lasagna, etc.) and they snack all day, too....popcorn, chocolate, cookies, chips..... I don't have much of a sweet tooth (but I'll kill for a big gooey cheese enchilada, LOL)...so the candy doesn't tempt me as much as the chips and take-out food.

but even with my lack of sweet tooth, I nearly DIED the day that girl scout cookies were passed out at work a couple of weeks ago.....people just munched away on them at their desks, and were exchanging opinions and reviews of the different kinds of cookies. I'm not kidding....I thought about just leaving for the rest of the day. It was torture.

I'm struggling this morning (it's my RDO), b/c I have a lunch date with a girlfriend who wants us to go to this wonderful Mexican restaurant...I KNOW I will be SO tempted to order cheese enchiladas and rice.....don't know what I'll do. I'm thinking about allowing myself to cheat this time....I know that if I do, I'll feel bloated and greasy and weighted down, (I always do, when I cheat), and then I won't be so tempted for awhile. And so it goes...... sigh....
