The Office Candy Dish

So, I've come to the conclusion that the inventor of the office candy dish must have been the Devil himself. Who else could possibly come up with something that brings so much temptation on a daily basis- under the guise of some neighborly sharing. We have a dish that sits in our office. Everyone kind of takes turns bringing in stuff to fill it. There's no list or anything, just every so often, you pick up a bag or two of some sort of candy to put in the dish. Typically it is filled with chocolate of some sort. We are big fans of Reese's minis here. And with Halloween approaching, everyone is getting stuff on sale and brining it in. Then there is the time during the day- usually mid-way through morning and again a few hours after lunch where everyone starts to get a little hungry. You'll see one person get up and grab something from the dish. Then someone else will think that's a good idea. Before you know it, we're all grabbing something from the candy dish. Also, we rarely grab just one. I mean, who ever heard of eating one Reese's mini cup? So you usually grab two. I had been doing pretty good with resisting the dish, but I've fallen back into the trap lately. I know I need to resist, especially since I'm still not working out, I can't afford to add those extra calories every day. I've been trying to chew gum when I get the chocolate cravings. It helps a little bit. But then I see everyone else grabbing the candy, and I just can't help myself. I think I need help. Of course, according to the Dove wrapper I got the other day, "Chocolate therapy is, oh, so good."
