Help! I was doing really really well watching what I ate and getting in gear and moving a bit and wa dropping weight so well. NOW my office has decided to supply 2 HUGE bowls of all kinds of candy, potato chips and soda. The soda i can easily stay away from but those little kit kats and snikers are killing what i have lost so far. Any suggestions?

    If you count calories, look up how many calories it would add to your day and ruin your efforts.  I can't lie though, I sometimes give in...it's usually on the days I don't workout though.  On the days I work out I eat much healthier haha

    Is there any way you can avoid wherever the candy is set up?  I agree with pp, look up how much is in each piece, and remind yourself how much you'll have to workout just to get rid of those extra calories.And FWIW, I'm a huge proponent of being able to have a small portion of whatever it is you can't resist (eg, candy) every day.  A couple of hersheys kisses never killed anyone, or their diet.  However, you have to be able to stop once you start.  Try keeping a couple healthier snacks at your desk.  They have those 100 calorie snacks (m&ms, 3musketeers, etc).  They're still not healthy, but at least you know how many calories you're eating.  I love the new south beach smore snack bars.  They're great at killing cravings, and taste pretty amazing too.

    I did read in the first 6 week abs diet (The orange one) that 2 mini snickers can be a treat, in moderation. I know it can be hard to eat only 2, but its an option.
