Quick post today…
There are two problems with working in an office:
#1. Around every corner it seems, at this time of year, there is a candy dish calling my name. “Pssst, Naaaatalieeeee,” it softly whispers. “Over here girl. Go ahead. Reach on in and get you some of that chocolate-y deliciousness.” The big, fat problem is that I cannot just have one. The bowl beckons me back and even invites me to stay awhile! And if that bowl happens to be on my desk?? “Fahget about it!” See what I mean?? My neighbor down the hall keeps this bowl filled. Always! Curses! And to make matters worse, I will get in to the office in the morning and someone will have left a treat on my desk overnight! When I find out who that person is…I may punch them in the throat. Ok, maybe not. I think there are rules for that kind of behavior in the workplace!
#2. One word. Catering. The constant barrage of leftovers in this office is borderline insanity. Cookies, brownies, and…oh sh*t! A fellow sugar addict friend of mine said it best when he posted a picture of the same crap in his office with the quote “Get behind me satan”. This is the real deal holyfield if you are a sweets person like me! I wish I wasn’t. Oh how I wish I hated dessert! People who can pass up sweets, you have my utmost respect because for me, sugar is the other white crack! But…

Yesterday, I did it!
I said no thank you!
And it felt so good to have power over those treats again!
As my 10 yr old son would say…”like a boss”!
Do you struggle with eating too many sweets?
Or are you able to eat just one and not think about dessert again for a week?
Until next time...my sweets!
