Hey all,

Just thought I'd share a little humor among all of life's struggles. I work among men that like to eat......Why me I ask myself. lol

So, I had a three day training class at work and wouldn't you know it each day someone brought in donuts...surprise surprise. Not just a couple but 3 dozen and conviently placed in front of me each day for 9 hours a day. Talk about sheer will power. At first, I thought get these damn donuts out of my face I felt the smell of the donuts was in my hair thats how strong they smelled. lol. I gathered my composure and decided to make a game out of it. Me vs the glazed and of course the sprinkles. lol The game took on a mind of its own, especially when the donut crumbs got on my paperwork from all the shifting of those pink boxes. It was pure amazement keeping a tally of donuts consumed by each firefighter. I think the highest count in one day was five, of course the contender was 120 lbs wet. Maybe the cigarettes helped him digest the sugar. All and all, I think finding humor in life's struggles helps us get through the feeling of deprivation.

Hope all of you enjoyed my little story of me vs. the donuts.

Take care and fight the fight.

It is really amazing how much food people eat; and how many snacks! The grazing is another thing that once your not doing it it's kind of disturbing.

congratulations on winning the battle... if i were in your seat, i'm not sure if i could have won against a chocolate glazed donut!

Loved the story....

I work in an office with 15 mostly 20-30 somethings who live on junk it seems so there is ALWAYS something around. Cookies, birthday cake, donuts, candy.... you name it and its on the counter in the community kitchen. Every day I move the various goodies out of the way to get to the hot Water to make tea, the cold water to mix with Crystal Light and of course I have to make my way around it to get my lunch out of the fridge. Its gotten so now I just dont even pay attention to it.... remember Nothing tastes as good as SLIM is gonna feel!

Good for you on overcoming what was clearly a very tempting 3 days!

You did great! I probably would have moved the donuts out of my face. Keep up the great work!

Hey all,

Thanks for the high fives of encouragements. It was difficult... I think the donut smell was in my nose too. I'm surprised it didn't get all over my face just sitting there. It pisses me off sometimes that some people mostly men but there are some women too usually under 12 years of age that can eat that **** and function and be skinny.

Fight the fight.................................

Oh Donuts! I don't know how you survived, lol! Good for you not eating one!

When I was first banded we had girl scout thin mints in the freezer. The boxes would sometimes fall out when I was looking for veggies to cook.. I'd throw them back in and tell them "get thee behind me Satan" LOL

LOL when I saw the title of this thread my first thought was "yum" firemen! So does that mean I'm cured! LOL! (Then I thought about how long its been since I had Krispy Kreme! Uggg.

two words...super hero....you rock!
