Ain't that the truth!! Our break room is full of high calorie, diet-busting, yummy stuff. Two approaches can be used. Put a piece of 2" pink tape over mouth when in break room!:D Or, summon all your willpower and have only a taste (smidgeon) of each holiday treat.

I've lost 4 pounds this month because I am exercising so as not to gain any weight this holiday season. I am just trying to keep moving as much as possible. I also have only been having a bite here and there of things I really love and are special to the season. I have been keeping veggies with me too as the crunch helps. lol

This is not even an option:D, will consider the second alternative.Lol

Personally, I enjoy all the holiday goodies and worry about the weight after the holidays are over. Holidays are stressful enough without adding another stressor to the list. I know that I can take control of a few pounds when all the crazy is over:cookies::candycane::giftbox:

Eat the treats at the holidays selectively. Choose what is truly worth the calories and the exercise to work it off. Have a taste of foods that you would not ordinarily have access to any other time of the year. Stay physically active. Suggest other food gifts that are healthy for your workplace.
