How can I avoid overeating at the office?

I think of most office kitchen counters like a garbage disposal. That's because whatever food is there is there because people don't want it. Your office mates didn't want that extra cake hanging around at home so they brought it to you.It's also common for a lot of employees to bring in bagels, muffins, and pastries for meetings.

When I worked at a larger agency, we had Tuesday morning meetings and we always celebrated birthdays at this time, so people were eating chocolate cake at 8:00 am. There is always a place and time for those foods, and that was absolutely not it. I actually remember people asking me how to lose weight at those meetings, while they were eating chocolate cake at 8:00 am.

Were they serious? If you know you want a bagel at the Tuesday meeting, plan for it by working it into your weekly eating. Don't be oblivious to your behaviors.

When it comes to the foods that people bring in, sit as far away as you can from the snack area. Willpower is really a myth, and with ghrelin (hunger hormone) working against us, your body can only resist for a little while. If you keep seeing and smelling cookies or some other tempting food, you will eventually break down.

However, if you bring your own foods, you can make the conscious decision to choose something else without feeling deprived while others are snacking.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
