Imagine this:<\/strong>\u00a0 You are at the office, someone offers you a piece of birthday cake, retirement cake, baby shower cake, leftover brownies from the corporate luncheon.\u00a0 What do you say?<\/strong>\u00a0 (Hint:\u00a0 NOT, Thank you!)\u00a0 How are you going to make it through the day, navigate the dangerous terrain called “Office” without going “Hog Office Wild?”<\/p>\n

Between the “celebratory foods” and the ubiquitous bowls of candy and piles of cookies, as well as the vending machines, strategically placed throughout the office, seriously Tushkateers, Our Lady Devotees and the rest of y’all … how are you going to stick to the plan without losing your mind!<\/p>\n

What to do?\u00a0 5 Tips : Keep Healthy & Sane in the Office …
\n… a.k.a. How to Lose Weight w.Out Losing Your Mind
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Stock Your Office<\/strong> … with the RIGHT STUFF<\/strong>!\u00a0 If there\u2019s a refrigerator\/freezer and a microwave, you are set!\u00a0 Here are a few foods that you can buy, stock, and eat!\u00a0 Say NO to Office Food; Say YES to your health!!!<\/p>\n

\n

Suggested List of Foods to Keep on Hand in the OFFICE<\/em>:<\/p>\n

String Cheese
\nLow-fat\/Low-cal Yogurt
\nHard Boiled Eggs
\nBaked Chips
\n94% Fat-Free Microwavable Popcorn
\nRaw Vegetables and plenty of them
\nFresh Fruit and some more fresh fruit
\nVegetable Juice
\nSeltzer \/ Water<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

2.\u00a0 Eat Breakfast! Preferably, before you arrive at the scene!
\n<\/strong><\/strong>If you are hungry, you are much more likely to lose control.\u00a0 Have a happy breakfast each morning.\u00a0 Make it a part of your daily ritual.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Eat Lunch!
\n<\/strong>Take at least 20 minutes to a half hour (if not the full hour) to get away from your desk and have lunch.\u00a0 Take a break and breathe. If ordering out is a problem, brown bag it.\u00a0 Be prepared!<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Just Say \u201cNo!\u201d
\n<\/strong>If the food pusher is still pushing sheet cake \u2013 insisting that you have just one piece for this special occasion, just say NO, with conviction. “NO!”<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Office Food Labels<\/strong>
\nIf you are tired of people eating your food (Truly annoying, isn’t it?\u00a0 They’re not even watching their weight but their eating your food!!!)<\/em>, then make labels that spelled it out loud n\u2019 clear.\u00a0 “Touch my food, mister, and you are in big trouble.”\u00a0 “Don\u2019t mess with me!”\u00a0 And then peel and stick ’em on your brown bag lunch!<\/p>\n

Spread the word \u2026 not the icing!<\/p>\n
