I work with a group of people who will bring in food (and lots of it) for any occasion whatsoever. This time of year it's worse than ever.

I just work through the entire eating season. No (more) temptation than usual.

But what if all the temptation is at work? I try to be careful about what I eat during the week so I can splurge a bit on weekends or social occasions. I can stay away from the food at work but I have to be a social outcast to do it. I just want to be healthy and I don't want to make a fuss about it.

On the other hand there are indulgences I won't give up. I love ice cream and it's my reward after a day of eating sensibly. My personal trainer (I believe she trained with the Marquis de Sade) suggested giving up the ice cream and I said absolutely not. I've switched to light ice cream to reduce some of the fat content and I'm working on portion control but give it up entirely? No way.
