    I had a whole box of chocolate to sell on my desk all day taunting me to eat it! It was so hard! So this afternoon, I took the box and went to each cubicle to sell the chocolate! I sold it all! About 40 bars! No more temptation sitting on my desk! I am so proud of myself! Just an email or a note on the billboard doesn't sell. But put the temptation in front of people, and it sells quickly! Especially after 2pm. Perfect timing for a chocolate snack!

    Way to go! Proud of you for not eating any yourself. Selling it is always better -- let someone else get fat

    Wow, great sales skills!

    Laurie, did you eat a whole pan of brownies or did you just eat what was left?

    Good for you, Francine! And the neat thing is, you snuck a bit of exercise in while doing it! Weight lifting (lugging around the box of 40 bars) and walking (going from cube to cube). Nice going!

    Oh my! You really have the will power. I LOVE chocolate. That is why I have 12 M&Ms everyday. I can't go without it.

    Ya know, I was just contemplating sneaking a brownie. Then I read Laurie's post and said "she's right! I will hate myself!" Thanks Laurie! I know that didn't help you, but you did just help me!

    Francine - WTG! That is so awesome! You saved yourself some $ AND some calories! WOO HOO!!

    Laurie, don't hate yourself. There are 365 days in a year - so you spent a few minutes of one of them eating brownies -- that shouldn't ruin the other 364. You have to live and eat for many more years and it's not a race to get to the finish line. Life is what happens while you are making other plans.

    Just say I did this, it's behind me, and now I'm back on the course.

    OK...so at work today there are tons of boxes of yummy chocolates around for Valentines Day!!! I did have 1 but I am limiting myself to that only!!!!!!!! It is soooo tempting. But, as I read, the pleasure I will get from it is fleating!!!!!!! I will get more pleasure in the long term with reaching my goals!!!!!!
