Both facilities that I work in are full of foodies- In on... everyDAY, it is cupcakes. EveryDAY it is pizza and buffets in the break room and potlucks and parties and pasteries brought in as soon as the bakeries open in the morning. In the other... it is the snack bag. A huge blue duffle bag in constant stock of pringles, sweedish fish, gummie worms, dorritos, dorritos, dorritos, chocolate bars, candy covered popcorn... and more. Some days it is easy to just not to even want, but on busier more stressful days it is hard to combat a weakness that sneaks up on me and kicks my knees out from uder me. How does everyone deal with the food at work, if it is similiar for you? Lets not forget the vending machines... at the doorways that wave hello and good bye to you. I'm looking for strategies or a hard core suck it ups! This is new for me. What do you'all do?
What I am doing now- I eat before I come to work and pack a lunch every day.... still, it isn't always enough. I try not to leave idle time to where I am standing around the desk talking. Talking & eating seem to go hand in hand. When it is offered I can turn it down without help, but when I am left.... alone... I can't shake the guilty feeling that "it doesn't count because no one is looking."
