why? WHY?????

why? WHY?????

I've been a dieting disaster, and last week (the whole week) was the worst. So I finally get back on the horse two days ago, and I walk in to work this morning.

This guy I work with brings in Hot Sticky Buns. Plain. With Raisins. With NUTS. What was I supposed to do?

So I had one. I figured, okay. One is not going to kill me. It's not good, but it could be worse. Last time, I think I had three.

THEN I walked around the office again, thinking it's been about two hours, it's got to be safe. I walk through the 'kitchen', which you have to walk through to get around the office.

On the counter are two trays of every kind of brownie/cookie/tart you can imagine. Why has the Lord smoten me? (smoten?) Seriously? Why? I feel like I'm negotiating landmines here.

It's now a few hours later. I just walked around AGAIN. There is a BIN of fresh bagels and muffins, along with small Odwalla Apple Juices. I mean, is this some kind of massive conspiracy to keep me Hindenburg-esque in my wedding dress? I swear, I took a muffin and wrapped it in a new garbage bag- full size- because I want to keep it fresh for later. I put it in the fridge. I will now torture myself with it for the rest of the day. I also now have a bagel sitting next to me, calling my name. Sue! Sue! Cream Cheese me!!!

I am so ashamed. They should have a fat smiley.

I avoid it. I keep nuts and peanut butter at my desk because I do the high protein thing. So, when people bring it all this sugary crap, I just have a handful of nuts or a spoonful of peanut butter to hold me over. It works!

Okay, Veggie Bride, that DID make me feel better. I admit, I was thinking- how is it possible someone with a screen name of Veggie Bride can feel my pain?

Anyone who puts away a whole sleeve of anything is okay in my book!!!

Be strong! Bring in your own snacks so you arn't starving and tempted! The buns and bagels and muffins I probably could have resisted, but I would have had a tough time with the cookies lol

You are hysterical and not joking you sound JUST like me when I'm forced to be tempted with those things! I act like, 'Oh - if no one sees me eat it, it doesn't count!'

...oh how I wish it worked like that...haahha

I know about having snacks here- you would not BELIEVE the amount of healthy snacks I have here. The problem is, the rice cakes are powerless against sticky buns. It's just not a fair fight.

I know it's me- I just feel so powerless against carbs. I need Jillian Michaels to come kick my a$$. I'd probably throw a stale bagel at her and run (I mean slow mosey) away as fast as I could.

And to make me feel worse, this morning I caught FH doing sit-ups in the living room before I woke up. I almost stepped on his face. And last night he rode the exercise bike. And he's already thin!!!

I guess that's why.

I just don't understand the thin.

ps. TWIX ARE AWESOME!!!

I am glad I don't work in your office. I have a hard enough time with temptation.
