Company Generosity - Good or Bad?

Now that I've been working at my current job for almost six months, I've come to see many of the perks of working for the company. But one of the aspects that I first considered as the best thing since a comfy desk chair, I've come now to view as a burden and curse.

 
 


As you can see, the company is more than generous with their supply of free snacks and drinks... The fridge is also full or MORE drinks as well as string cheese - LOTS of string cheese.

But here's the thing - turns out that some of my biggest temptations / weaknesses come in the form of things like Mountain Dew, Orange Crush and Sun Chips - things that are not in short supply here.

Now I'm not going to stand here and blame the company for my lack of weight loss - that'd be silly. But let's be honest...it'd be much easier for me NOT to eat / drink all these things if they weren't sitting there ready to be consumed.

So this is one of my main goals heading into this next month of the year (September) and in the future. To walk right past this closet and only focus on my lunch in the fridge and the water cooler in the corner.

Wow! That is a very generous office. I completely understand the temptations at the office. I have made a commitment to only eat "bad" food away from the office. So, I skip ALL of the birthday cakes and candy jars. My breakfasts and lunches I eat at work are all healthy (fish and salads mainly). I bring my own snacks like yogurt, fruit and nuts to tide me over until dinner where I eat whatever. Good luck!

My work charges us .50 for each snack, and then we donate that money to a local charity. My string cheese addiction is funding the Evanston YWCA.

And the Northbrook food pantry.
