On Monday?  Someone brought cookies to work. 

On Tuesday?  They had a treat day for someones birthday so everyone in the group brought cookies to work.

On Wednesday?  What the heck - more cookies!!!

So it's Thursday.  I come in.  And now we have donuts.  And all of this food is always sitting on the cabinet right next to my desk.  We have a  lot of space here... empty desks due to the economy. 

Lord?  Help me please?

Unfortunately others still eat what we may have difficulty with. This could be one of the first of many days like this. Move them if you can without your fingers touching the icing!

Good luck.

Yes! 

Luckily there are only two left.  We do have a guy here at work who usually skips breakfast/lunch in order to save food for his kids (bless his heart), so I emailed him to let them know there are donuts.  That will knock one more out of the box.  I can handle a face-off with the bagels. 

I'm plateau'd right now.  Went to the OH conference up in Bellevue WA this past weekend.  After attending some of the breakouts I realized this particular plateau is in in my head & up to me. 

So back to basics, focus on protein, and kick up the exercise... Cookies & Donuts were not in my plan!

Btw Melly, you look fantastic!

Awe, thanks Ambelina!!  I am currently about 30 pounds heavier than my avi pic, I keep it up for inspiration. 

I would love to go to an OH conference at one point, I am sure they are very inspiring!!  How sweet that you thought of that struggling father!

We have a food day at work every month that I look forward to every month.  It's my once a month indulgence.  I let myself sample whatever I want...but just a little of each. 

But I know what you mean.  Last week someone brought in donuts too and not the crappy Dunkin Donuts, donuts....the really yummy local bakery donuts.  Oh yummy.  There was a chocolate with sprinkles!!!  But...I walked away and didn't even have one.  I went back to my desk and ate 1/2 an apple with peanut butter.  I was too full after that to eat the donut.  When I went back towards the donuts later that day...they were all gone!!!  Yeah!!!  I held strong!!!!

Yes!  These were the good local donut-shop donuts - not the machine-made chain store stuff. 

But I made it!!!  They're all gone now!!!  Yay!!! I had my greek yogurt for breakfast, I'm having my protein plate with some grapes, went for my 1/2 hour walk, already slammed one bottle of water.  So it's been a good food day so far.  Whew! 

Thanks everyone!  The evil donuts are dead for the day!

Sounds like you did GREAT!  Way to go!

At work people know I have the band and if there's something really tempting, I ask someone to eat what I normally would have eaten.  hahahaha  For some reason it helps. hahaha
