That's obscene. Are they also widening the doors in January or do these people just have one piece and then leave it. My sense of propriety wouldn't allow the opening of an advent calendar before the date so at least they would be safe and that way you could take it in turns. Daily baking in December is diet suicide.

gah! We should hire an office building with hot desks for dieters only. No 'off plan' food allowed. well done for getting out of there 
an alcoholic doesn't have to worry about being offered whisky every day when they go to work IT'S NOT FAIR I wish I was an alcoholic not a food addict (I don't really - although I might be thin haha but do realise that my problem is probably the 'easiest' of all the addictions and wouldn't want to swap)
imagine being a crack addict and being all thin lol - but would have to trade off the smokin' body with the fact that it would be covered in sores and topped by a head full of rotten teeth. Still - kind of worth it JOKING I'M NOT TRIVIALISING HARD DRUG ADDICTION - admins please don't kick me out

Well I haven't posted here much as I haven't really been turning things down but today I stand strong in front of
4 packs of M&S cookies now hidden - I've admitted to my colleagues I am a cookioholic
2 lookey likey Lindor balls
Homemade pumpkin pie with whipped cream
A basket of fruit which is always there on Mondays and Wednesdays.

client lunch buffet:
sandwiches (wide variety including ones with big prawns in ooofff!)
cheese straws (not that bothered about them)
quiche (*sniff*)
platter of mini cakes/desserts inc. millionaire shortbread, flapjack, truffle things, not sure what else as I didn't look too closely
orange and apple juice (I love juice but just had water)
feeling angelic but felt a little awkward to only take a little bit like it would have put everyone at ease if I'd tucked in - does that make sense? I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable - although they probably didn't even notice or care but I always feel like I have to be so grateful for any food and show it by stuffing my face. Interesting thing to realise that I feel. Also I'm quite bad at small talk at these things but I'm a teeny bit better than I used to be. Also got in the room while the meeting was on (a previous agenda item) and disrupted their conversation then took my coat off and my cardi sleeve came off too and went inside out and a whole awkward moment of trying to get my arm back into my cardi without stopping them carrying on their meeting haha - think I brazened it out

So this week has been a nightmare.
Tuesday I wasn't in so I didn't have
Turkish Delight
Some sort of sweetmeats from Seville made my nuns
Candy from NY
Today
Did have the dutch waffles that you put on top of your coffee so it goes all melty caramel in the middle
Rejected coffee chewy sweets and pineapple in chocolate from Columbia - not that hard to say no to be honest

Ack coffee sweets (apart from those pocket coffee which I was scoffing at mums the other day)
I didn't know that's what you were supposed to do with those waffles. I'm so suburban
I was going to suggest a cake sale at work in aid of Nepal but didn't want the temptation...I'm a terrible human being
