Yeah, mmkay so when I started this job in July, I guess my coworkers thought they'd be nice and put a nice big candy dish full of jolly ranchers on my desk. No biggie, as long as it's not chocolate I can resist.

So, the dish has been empty for a while so I go to the dollar store and buy some Trident packs and SG breathmints to fill it up with.

Mmmkay I guess it didn't fill it up enough because my skinny little coworker put some mini butterfingers right on top.

Great, this will be a test. Kthx!

Take the jar of candy off your desk permanently. It's not helpful to have it right in front of you. Why mess with temptation?

I agree!!!
You shouldt have that temptation on your desk.
Take the jar off or only the chocolates.

Good luck

Well, because of where my desk is, the jar is in a convenient spot for people who walk by and want some treats.

So I made a compromise. I put a picture of myself with my boyfriend (who recently reached his 100lb. goal on this WOE) in front of the candy dish so now it's out of sight! Anytime I THINK of grabbing some candy I can remember how easy it was for him to resist junk, so it should be for me too!

They now make SF Jolly Ranchers, and boy are they good! Check out your local Wal-Mart - that's where I found them!
