Must Resist....

[ChrisL]

My new job offers free Starbucks, pastries, bagels & fruit every day.  I generally grab some fruit but pass on the pastries. I did partake in a bagel once.  

My office is near the break room and someone has toasted a bagel and it smells so freaking good....  Ugh don't need the carbs but damn.

That would be hard to resist, yes.  In losing weight and trying to maintain it, one of the rules I've made for myself is to pass on pastries, doughnuts, etc. unless they're Really Good.  People bring in Dunkin Donuts here and it's easy to say "no thanks" to those because they are crap.  But the pastries at Starbucks are a different matter. 

My wife and I used to get these maple oat nut scones there, with a generous layer of maple icing.... damn, they were good. 

The little coffee shop on the ground floor where I worked in Philadelphia also had some really good things (and back then I wasn't thinking diet).  Lemon pound cake... corn muffins... Jewish apple cake.... all buttery and delicious.  That place would be testing my willpower every day if I still worked there.

My birthday is coming up, and with it my annual German chocolate cake from Two Fat Cats. European quality.

 

I can resist anything but temptation.

Sweet pastries aren't my thing and are easy to resist.  But a toasted sesame bagel... 

So far so good, the smell is gone and I'm over it now.  It was hard not to grab one tho.

Bagels, cream cheese and lox.

Damn, now I'm hungry.
