Well I'm quilty too. Plus over the years I've learned to eat my whole meal with-out coming up for a breath of air. Not very becoming of a lady! My husband always makes fun of this. But I don't laugh anymore, it is a habit that embarrases me.
On the job I'd eat what ever the employee meal was. BOY did that pack on the pounds........it usually was horidly old or all fried foods. THEN I'd please my palate with a taste of everything I baked as if to make up for the lack of taste in the employee meal.
So I'm doing the atkins diet right now (I need this to work). It's a good diet for me because it doesn't allow for any sugar or white flour (I find I enjoy asking other people to taste my products and tell me the low down as much as if I ate it myself.)..........so now I can't justify even a nibble.
Then I've gone to packing myself a lunch. I freeze individual meat or fish portions after shopping so every morning it's not a hassle to bring lunch. Just grab it out of the freezer and go. I also buy the salads in the bag aready done. I take the whole bottle of dressing with me and leave it in the cooler (so far no one has complained). I aslo bring my own drinks, no more sodas. I know this isn't cheap, BUT if you add up what fast food cost and your health bills, I figure I'm not spending alot more. The things I bring are always simple to prepare.
ALSO I've come to deside I deserve a break too, just like everyone else.
I don't smoke or take talking breaks and I only stop once a day to go to the bathroom (yes I'm a workaholic to do that to myself). That's a big battle for me, taking the personal time at work. I'm always pushing too hard to get more more thing done. I think it's the crux or should I write crutch for most of us!
