For anyone who works with a lot of people, this one is for you.
A couple of months ago, an article came out in the news about how your co-workers can make you fat. Well, it is still a battle and...and a choice if you would like to lose self-control over body image. However, it is a temptation when your colleagues bring in cookies, cakes, pies, donuts, danishes, chips, pies, cakes, cookies, muffins, truffles, cakes, pies, donuts, and...wait. Did I say cookies twice yet? When you see these vittles on the kitchen or conference room table, you have to brace yourself. It can be easy for someone else to knock you off your game and towards straight gluttony. Will power? Oh, it will kick in. Discipline? It's on all cylinders.
What do you do?
You have to make and set a statement. You have to tell yourself that you will not eat what everyone else is eating solely because the food looks or even tastes good. So what, if someone else says, "Oh, you're missing out. Missy's apple crumb cake tastes really good. Go cut a piece in the kitchen." No, do not! Please, do not let anyone else break you off your goal...the pursuit and achievement of your goal. Truthfully, you are not missing out on anything because, for one, the "Missy" or the "Trent" of your office can make another random apple crumb cake in a different week. Trust it - "Missy" and "Trent" have more ingredients at home. Do not be rude though. Just be disciplined. When you are disciplined, in this case, others will follow when they see your results.
OK, I am done for now on this topic.
