So you've been eating good for just two weeks, but already you're feeling great! You have more energy and you're over that hump of constantly craving sweets and carbs! You've even been working out quite often and last night you really pushed it and know you burned a ton of calories! So you walk into to work the next day and "don don don" it's ANOTHER office birthday!!! Holy cow how many birthdays are there?? The center office table filled with goodies jumps out at you and does one of those screeches from a scary movie "ERR ERR ERR"! And of course the goodie table has to be placed RIGHT NEXT to the fax machine so you have no choice but to walk by and have a stare down with a cookie ever hour!!! How are you supposed to maintain your healthy eating with all this temptation around you? You almost feel like your co-workers are conspiring against you!!
Well this is a very good question, its quite easy to just not buy the junk food when you go grocery shopping but you can't control what others do, specially in your office! One thing you can do is motivate others in your office to eat healthy like you! Tell them about your journey and your goals and how you feel so much better by eating the right foods! This may encourage your co-workers to get rid of that "Secretary Spread" and bring in some healthier options instead of the junk!
Another option is to share the love! Most likely when people bring in goodies, they bring in enough to feed an entire army!! Therefore, when everyone has had their first serving, if it's possible, share what's left over with other departments! This eliminates the leftovers sitting there all day while you give in and sneak a second or third serving!! Hey there's nothing wrong with A cookie or cupcake, it's the second, third and forth that stick to those hips!!
I speak from experience! This wasn't even an occasion, someone just brought 50 cookies and cider just because...can you imagine what our birthdays looks like? Getting my office to eat right has definitely been a challenge!! Oye-vey!
