Candy. Donuts. Pastries.
They have been non-stop in my office since October.
I turned around the other day and watched someone open ANOTHER bag of candy and put it in several bowls. These bags have to be from the store that gave birth to Costco. They are HUGE. When will the madness end?
Now, I say. NOW.
I’m taking the pledge not to eat from the bowl of candy garbage or yummy holiday goodies in the communal area in my office for the rest of the month.
Would you care to join me?
Listen, I realize everything in moderation is key. I’ll have a piece of candy some days, and other days one piece will turn into two or three. Â And even 2-3 pieces isn’t bad…but guess what, they add up!
No, one candy won’t make me fat, but at the same time, one apple won’t make me healthy. I want to make better choices and having my hand in the candy bowl “just for 2 months” isn’t a great choice.
Side note: Did you know the average American gains 6 pounds over the holidays?!
That’s half my cat! (Okay…probably more like less than a third…)
In my humble opinion those 1, 2 or 3 pieces aren’t worth it.
I’d rather spend it on salty fries.
The No Candy Bowl & Office Goodies Pledge
So, I, Princess Caroline Peterson, vow not to eat anything from the office
holiday candy/deliciousness/sugar-filled bowl
and yummy holiday goodies in the communal area
for the rest of the month.
Want to join me? We can share in our misery here. It’s less than one month, people!
