Is Your Job Making You Fat?
How many of you eat better at your job than you do at home? I don’t mean junk food either. There has been so much food and dessert at my job these last few weeks, I’m considering filing a class action suit against my current employer for my weight gain. Okay I’m kidding just in case they get wind of this post, but I used to weigh 140 lbs. I don’t any more. I’m 5′ 10″, so I know how to hide some weight, just put on higher heels and appear even taller, but truthfully, I can see the difference. I looked at some old photos of myself and some new photos and I don’t like my new double chin.
We are always surrounded by food left over from client meetings, staff meetings, dessert trays, home made goodies, fund raisers. It’s hard not to indulge, I can’t walk past a cookie! On Fridays we always get breakfast. I say they are feeding us well to fatten us up for the slaughter. The food is great, but at least take away our chair, make us stand. Don’t feed the cattle and then send us back to our desk to sit down! Give us an exercise ball to sit on. Move the copier out into the parking lot. Instead of fire drills, ring a bell so we can all run laps around the office. Buy us a pair of blinders to wear around the office so we can’t see the tray of food to the left, to the left.
How do you avoid office weight gain? Do you have any solutions? The Nancy Regan Diet: Just Say No? I already ran my idea past a few people and they seem to be willing to blame someone else for our extra weight gain…or maybe we could all just roll ourselves to the elevator and go to the gym downstairs.
Maybe I could just calm down and give the gym one more try before I call my lawyer.
