Yay, Kelda! Chuck was also commenting on holiday sweets, which made me notice that there's still a big bowl of Halloween candy sitting on the counter in our break room! The best thing to do IMO for coworkers is to bag all this stuff up and put it discretely in the trash! We also have a diabetic person in our office who can't eat sweets but he is always going out and buying them for everybody else. Well, that's not really appreciated by me, for one.
But I am tempted anyway, sometimes especially in the afternoons. I manage to avoid eating too many sweets by imagining them pasted onto my thighs, waist and rear, wrappers and all. That usually tends to spoil the appeal for me!
Another small thing that helps is that I usually have some kind of fruit for breakfast. Today it's a clementine and a banana, but usually I eat a banana and some berries or grapes. I also often eat a fruit side dish for lunch or dinner. Today I have a relish that includes cranberries, dates, and oranges. These tend to curb the sugar cravings. I don't drink sugary beverages or sweet ones, but I do put milk in my coffee or tea. Milk has sugar in it, but it's good for your body because it is in balance with the protein and carbs that are also in milk.
