Same way I feel about the kilogram of French truffles some company (which I had never heard of or dealt with) sent me. Yesterday, at an 8:30 a.m. meeting, another editor put a box of Godiva chocolates on the table and all but forced us to eat them because he's got too many chocolates piling up.

Did I mention that I've been grading?

Grading means long hours of sitting on the couch (grading), and eating crap (Doritoes; Goldfish--the crackers, not the critters; Cheetoes).

I'm making a concerted effort to have something healthy for lunch, like popcorn.

:)

(Oh, and as for the pants, I have two words: elastic waistband.)

OK, what you need to do is focus on the cookies and not the pants and also the exercise getting up from your desk and walking to the cookies...

Damn, I want some cookies... but I have that pants problem too. :-(

I'm with the other shelley...Elastic all the way Baby!!!

I love snickerdoodles. I don't like tight pants either.

Note to self: must get elastic-waist pants before I bake.

Regarding pants, why is it that I wear a 34" waist and the damned things are loose but I have to have a 38" belt and even then I can't buckle it past the second notch?

I realize that women have a whole litany of complaints about the way clothing is sized these days and my gripe is itsy-bitsy, but it's annoying nonetheless.

Back to cookies, sorry.

I just had my second piece of chocolate cream cake and it isn't even 10am.

Hunny, my pants have been tight and unbuttoned since thanksgiving... Boyfriend deemed the week of as "fat week" and I've taken it to a whole new extreme and am now living "fat month"...

Nonetheless, I feel your frustration, but am giving msyelf persmission to eat whatever the holidays may bring and, like 10,000s of ppl, will start the new year off on a diet :)
