We had a 9 am staff meeting today (yes, 9 am on a Monday!) and I SHOCKED myself with the level of restraint I was able to display. Early on in the meeting, people brought in two platters filled with donuts. Glazed, cinnamon, and these incredible-looking chocolate iced devils. These platters were set up around the table and a huge jug of orange juice started going around. One platter of the chocolate iced evil sat in front of me for the whole meeting. And guess what? I didn't take anything!!!! It helped that I had a friend right next to me who was also trying to be good, but we both refused the donut's evil stare and made it through the meeting calorie-free.
Then she and I went to Starbucks (yo, a 9 am meeting = caffeine required). I was hungry, but still wanted to be good. Their selection was a little picked over, but they did have a bunch of muffins out that weren't labeled. I asked if any of them were of their low-fat varieties. They were not - the barista told me that they were all the regular kinds. So I didn't get any Starbucks treats either! Just a skim latte to go.
Woohoo! That's TWO major temptations I've faced down already, and it isn't even lunchtime yet!

Hello Stef,
Great restraint! Since it is nearing the holidays my coworkers have been bringing in Krispy Kremes and all sorts of blah; needless to say I have been using that same level of restraint.
Last weekend, Cold Stone did catch me off guard however....they have got to stop putting those buy 1 get 1 free coupons in the Sundays paper.
Have a great Thanksgiving.
Dezel
