Office Temptations

[engagedatWDW]

I'm sure we all go through this at work - someone has a birthday so everyone needs to go out to lunch and have cake. Well, yesterday I stood my ground, signed the card and passed on Olive Garden and ice cream cake. And then, after I thought I was in the clear, my Girl Scout Cookie order arrived! Thin mints are my kryptonite, but I was able to set them aside and I have yet to open one of my four boxes. My DF even said that in support of me he would wait a day to open his box of thin mints Gee, thanks hun.

Willpower is no longer absent from my vocabulary.

Awesome! Great job, Amy! I will use your willpower to inspire me when I go back to work next Tuesday (actually I might need it while I'm home alone today!). Keep up the great work!

Congrats Amy! That is soooo awesome! It's so hard to get through it sometimes, but isn't it WONDERFUL to accomplish the willpower!!!

Hey, Amy! I just had to visit this thread again to "steal" some of your willpower--one of my students told me that she'd bring the box of Thin Mints I ordered with her to school tomorrow! What is it about those stupid little cookies?! I plan on putting mine in the freezer (as my mom always does) and not breaking them out until I have family over. I hate to be a bad influence on them, but if we all eat them together--we'll all eat fewer cookies!

I also wanted to thank you because I thought of your thread when I went back to work on Tuesday--it really helped me resist the snacks that surround me all day! Thanks!

waaa I have sympathy for you. a group of my friends were all going to Olive Garden and trying to get me to go. it was killing me b/c i even have a gift card there that i havent used at all. luckily I had just finished eating a salad, so i could say no a lil easier *not thinking about salad and breadsticks*
*not thinking about salad and breadsticks* *not thinking about salad and breadsticks* *drools* yeah so keep at it.
