This is to everyone who took my survey (and especially to Lorrie for blogging about it)– Thank you!!!!!!! I think it’s an important topic, and I’m hoping it points me in the right direction to eventually do something useful for people.

Great survey, I am happy to help. I hope you (and Rachel) won’t mind if I repost the link on my website as well.

I teach lower/middle school and these kids love any excuse to bring in sweets! Birthdays, holidays, finished-the-unit-on-fraction days! Its so difficult to say no to a kid when she tells you that she baked them and waits there to see you take a bite. But I am lucky that I am on my feet most of the day and have to walk 3 flights to my classroom.

I love your blog and your complete honesty and openness!

I have trouble with an employee that brings candy, chocolate, and cakes. I literally have to stay away from his area.

I’m with Krissie — I deal with it every single day. Tuesdays and Thursdays company feeds us breakfast, Monday and Wednesday they give us cookies. Cake for every birthday, quarterly review, and holiday.

I have to say no to absolutely everything otherwise I wouldn’t lose an ounce of weight. And still my co-workers try every day… “Cookie? Waffle? Donut? Ice cream?” Boo.

Every. Single. Day.

Boss brings in goodies. Complete hospital cafeteria at my disposal. Graeters ice cream in the gift shop. Constant smell of cheeseburgers wafts by my office at lunchtime. My officemate eats chili cheese fries almost every day for lunch.

Whoa. Now I’m really proud of myself for sticking to my plans yesterday. Thanks!

What’s the wedding countdown now? I’m so thrilled for you!
