The Guilt Lasts Longer Then The Pleasure.

You may relate to this and then again you may not, but my work is probably the worst for pleasuring foods. Donuts, candy, pie, pop, you name it, we have it. No we are not a grocery store, but simply just a small administrative office that's indulging in sweets. Now for some this may be like heaven because you can get a treat whenever you feel you need to, but for me its hell! Temptation arises for me in this place, it definitely gets my mouth watering!

Right now my mission is to lose a pound or 2, okay maybe like 60 pounds so I had decided to join Weight Watchers on August 18th. I count points, points for everything... like pie, pop, candy, donuts. But seeing the results of how many points a piece of pie actually is puts me in a very tough situation. Hmm.... eat a small piece of pie for 6 points or eat a full healthy dinner for 6 points, tough decision isn't it? Even though its an obvious of what I should chose its hard to say no to something so good.

The big boss man works out, eats healthy and never touches these treats. Today we were all surrounding the candy jar because the tempting 'fresh' Dina-Sours from Costco had been placed in the glass candy dish just hours prior to that moment. So tempting because they are so incredibly yummy and really I could probably dip into those bad boys and eat maybe 1 or 2 or like 20 of them (okay maybe the whole bag). It was hard but I turned down the glass dishes offer of the colourful candy's and headed back to my desk. My 'healthy' boss was standing there and he also turned the candy's down, we all chuckled knowing the temptation was there.

Not even a minute after I sat back down at my desk I received an email from my 'healthy' boss that said "The guilt lasts longer than the pleasure". Very rare to see a personal email from such a business type man but these words were so true. Eating one candy lasts a moment of bursting flavours on your taste buds, but that guilt lasts all day, all week and then haunts you at your weekly weigh in. I'm glad I turned down the colourful, wonderful smelling candy's even though I really, and I mean really, wanted some! Now I don't have to sit here starting at the glass jar with guilt but yet I can stare at that jar with a smirk on my face thinking yeah not worth the guilt. I weigh in tonight.... wish me luck!
