My office is really fattening! Today a co-worker brought in homemade brownies with walnuts and craisins in them. I resisted all morning (who eats brownies for breakfast?) but there were still a couple there after lunch. I had a really light lunch, so I thought...oh why not. Bad idea. I went ahead and logged the brownie in my food diary as the highest-calorie brownie in the search engine, b/c that's what it feels like! Dense, heavy, nutritionally bankrupt, and not good for my blood sugar.
The thing is, I wouldn't go out and buy a brownie. Nor would I make them at home. The only reason I ate it was because it was there! This is going to be tough for me--people in my office love to bring in goodies, and then act hurt if you don't try them. I suppose I could have had a bite so as to compliment the cook without eating the whole huge thing, though. I guess the bottom line is that my office is a very unhealthy place and I need to realize that there's going to be some sort of carbalicious treat in the kitchen more often than not, but that doesn't mean I have to mindlessly consume it. Now I feel like my day's been thrown off; good thing I have Zumba later.
