evil mini muffins around the corner

  • My office is close to the kitchen at work. Somebody dropped of a big box of mini muffins this morning. I walked into the kitchen three times so far (water, water, water!) and didn't touch them. However, the day is long and temptation is growing... Grrrrrr!!!
    I try to cling to my "I am so proud of myself" feeling but I am not sure if I can do that another 3 hours!!!! HELP!!
  • I believe mini muffins are like 50-90 calories a piece so if you could trust yourself to only eat one or two I don't think it would set your calories off for the day by that much. XD
  • I will trade you your evil mini muffins for my devilish Cheesecake Factory cheesecake with optional strawberry topping.

    It's sitting there....in the breakroom.....taunting me.....
  • They just won't fit into my plan today :-(
    Ohoh, cheesecake? That's even worse.
    You win :-)
  • I have a hard time saying no to good muffins or cheesecake. I have no issues passing up possible sneezers at work/in big groups. You just don't know who stood over it and breathed hard while you weren't looking.

    There. Ruined it for you.
  • Love the possible sneezers theory!! haha

    For me, if I don't know the calorie count, I ain't eating it!! Maybe anal, but it keeps me away from random bakery store type things - which were a BIG problem in the past. Anyways if you're a calorie counter that might help, or go with the sneezing thing. That would have done it for me!
  • Me too with the "Possible Sneezers". Also, I use the "not everyone washes after they visit the rest room" then they reach into the bag. You just never know and once I get THAT thought into my head...it's easy to pass!
  • I have some evil mini muffins sitting on my kitchen table as I type this. My daughter made them for herself this weekend so she could have a small sweet treat to take to school this week. I have had 3 of them since Saturday, not all at once though. She gave them to me & I told myself they're tiny so they must have a tiny amount of calories. The truth is I don't know how many calories they have. I have thought about having another but they do not belong to me so it would be stealing if I ate another one. It helps a great deal knowing that they are not mine to eat.
