My boss keeps snacks in her office for anyone to grab if they are hungry. I wasn't aware of this until last month. I knew she had a stocked fridge and lots of yummies, but I though it was just for her.
I have yet to venture in to her office to take advantage because once I do, I know it's all over for me. I'll go in there when I'm hungry and I might not make the best choices. I'll choose the candy or the cookies over the yogurt....
The vending machine is in another building so even if I wanted something and had money, I'd have to walk over there. That usually squashes the desire.
I pack several snacks for the day, entering them in to my food journal in the morning so I know exactly where my calories are for the day. Sometimes this helps me to resist whatever treats might land in the break room. I already have my calories planned and there's no room for more. Sometimes it doesn't keep me from partaking, but it helps me to control my portion. Again,..... no room in my calories.
