I'm not a huge snacker when I'm at home. That's not to say I never do it, but I'm not the person who has to have something to eat when they sit down in front of the television. However, when I'm at work, it's a different story. I have two jobs, and there is always food. At the library it comes in the form of Reese's Cups and candy that we keep in a drawer. And on occasion, there are treats in the back that people have made and share with the rest of us. At the nursing home we have tons of snack foods. Chips, cookies, crackers, you name it. Those old folks love to eat, and we Activities girls totally indulge them. It's hard to say no to these treats when they're all up in my business all the time. As I type this I'm ruining some fruit by dipping it into the chocolate dipping sauce that came with the tray....
I have to learn to balls up and say NO to the snacks at work! Just because they are all up in my grill, doesn't mean I need to eat them. It's hard though, because working is stressful (yes, the library and the nursing home do cause me stress) and when I'm stressed, I turn to food. (But, that's another post for another day) I have to learn to resist the urge to eat things simply because they're there.
