how can you be strong around

delicious cakes, cookies and cream cakes and chocolates and stuff when you are trying to watch what you eat? my colleagues eat that regularly and it’s hard to not join them, I’ve been so good, but when I see that stuff everyday, I almost give in… I have to loose about 10 kilo’s…

Don't look 'em in the eye.

Re: how can you be strong around

^ the colleagues or the pies?

Re: how can you be strong around

Both.

Re: how can you be strong around

that's difficult if you're all sitting together and chatting and drinking your tea.
Maybe I really should go get myself hypnotised.

Re: how can you be strong around

Are your colleagues in shape?

Re: how can you be strong around

I don't know, some of them probably are and others probably not. Hm, I'll pay some attention to that today. See if they're all fit despite of eating that stuff. Sheesh, if I eat yummy stuff one day, I will notice definitely... I once had a cousin, who ate anything and never put on any weight! unbelievable. I really have to walk a lot or ride on my bike a lot if I want to eat yummy stuff without putting on weight... it's not fair, lol

Re: how can you be strong around

Chew gum. A lot of gum.

Re: how can you be strong around

^that doesn't help, I always have chewing gum, becuase I love garlic pastes and I often eat masalah, unfortunately that gives a bad breath too... so i'm chewing gum all day heehee.

Re: how can you be strong around

Avoid all those things for at least two months, I did that for some time and I am rarely ever tempted to attack any sweet thing I see. It really does cut down on the temptations and maybe even reduces your ability to stomach it if you do consume it. Good luck.

Re: how can you be strong around

You mean not eating anything sweet at all for two months? Wow. I can do that for a few days, but for two months I don't know. Oh well, it's worth a try.

Thanks. :)
