Snack Season

Yes, snack season is upon us. Those of you who work in an office environment know what happens around the holidays....things like this start to show up:
Unfortunately, Mom has chosen to start a weight-loss program during the holidays (Weight Watchers). Snack season makes this much more difficult.

Today there was a "Thanksgiving Potluck" at Mom's work, and almost all of the food was either soaked in butter or covered in sugar. There was lots of peer pressure to eat plenty, but Mom was able to fill up on veggies instead.
After the potluck the leftover food was all piled up in the central copy room for everyone to pick at. Mom has to pass this spot to make copies, scan items, fax things, go to the bathroom, and leave the building, so it's hard to ignore. She is happy to report that she did very well today ignoring the snacks.
Here is the straw that almost broke the camel's back: Homemade chocolate chip cookie bars......mmmmmm.
Did they taste good? Mom has no idea. But, if they're still there tomorrow then all bets are off.

  1. That stuff ALWAYS shows up JUST after you decide to do weight watchers!! At least every time I have tried it... Seems like snack season is sneaky...
