Go Fierce or Go Home: Julia's Been Tricked into Treating

Wed. Nov 11, 2009 | 5:49 AM

Hi Heather...

Okay, so I am writing to you very disappointed in myself.

I have been very bad and out of control since Halloween. Well, it actually started the night before Halloween, and lasted throughout Halloween night... and then last night I had a relapse!

I have been eating soft baked cookies -- the big, yummy, chocolate chip, macadamia nut and oatmeal raisin kinds. I am so sad and feel defeated by the cookies! It's not only the cookies, its the candy as well... the mini Snickers, Hershey's, M&M's, Raisinettes, Almond Joys...

Well, you get the idea.

TNT: Tiffany's Baker's Dozen of Trouble

"Help Heather! There's a baker in my office... and it happens to be my boss.

I was all set to show "Go Fierce or Go Home" who's boss. I went grocery shopping (which I rarely do) and loaded up on some fruits, veggies, protein, those lovable juicy carbs, and of course some healthy frozen dinners. I practically skipped out of the store -- I was so excited about my new healthy beginning.

But then, I realized how many temptations that I have in my office.

Within a week's time span, my "office baker" brought either baked goods or candy to the office. One day, it was freshly baked cookies, the next day, my favorite candy (Laffy Taffies), and finally to kick it off, a day with RED VELVET CUPCAKES and BROWNIES!

O-M-G, How can I resist?!

My boss loves to bake and whenever she brings in goodies, the entire office gathers to eat and socialize. I must say, that I'm usually one of the first people in line to grab something to eat. This week, however, I declined all offerings even though my mouth watered with every treat that I saw. I sort of felt deprived and felt really bad for turning down my boss's polite gestures. Also, I felt weird standing around with nothing to eat as my coworkers mixed and mingled with each other.

Heather, these types of scenarios happen often in my office. What can I do in this situation to stay on track with my changing eating habits?"
