Self control is a hard thing. It just happend right now for me. My mom baked some chocolate chip cookies for xmas right now. And they smell amazing. And there warm and chewy and the chocolate chips will melt perfectly with a cold glass of milk. I want some soo bad, but if you give in once, you keep on giving in all the time. So here i am with no cookies but when i get on the scale tomorrow ill thank myself for not going near them. I made a list of 10 reasons why I want to loose weight and everytime I want to reach for a cookie I read it and it works. If that doesent work cuz mcdonalds smells so good and tastes great...then you prob should get another job that doesent involve food.

Well, Just get some low calorie and sugar free snack instead of those sweets. Just replace them. Try eating a salad from your work. But yes, you need to make sure you dont work on an empty stomach. If you need any help or someone to talk to you can email me. kenzkenz82@yahoo.com

hey anna! just a quick thought. if you get a choice of what to get for free at work, maybe you can try to make healthier choices, like trade in a normal meal for a kids meal. the toys are the coolest part of the meal anyway. even doing taht will cut calories. maybe you cuold ditch the soda and just have water, that also makes a big difference. i kno it's hard, but it CAN be done, you just have to beleev it. if at all possible, don't go to work on an empty stomach. EXERCISE IS KEY!!! good luck!

Hello Anna.I no how you feel,its holiday time and that means candy and sweets which isnt to good for you to lose weight.So Mc Donalds doesnt help you lose weight,maybe while you work there you can look for another job and if you find one quit Mc Donalds.Also if losing weight is truely something you want to do,do it.Trust me it can be done.Go to the doctors and ask for a good diet for you,also you might want to eat a big healthy meal so you wont be so hungry at work.If you dont excerisze try doing some that wont hurt your body but atleast get your heart pumping.I belive in you,you can do it!!!
