The Food Catastrophe

Now is the time of year when my office is inundated with food. Donuts, chocolate, snacks and gift baskets. Rarely does someone send us oranges or other healthy options. It's tough to avoid or say no to the temptation.

We generally say that you gain at least ten pounds during the weeks between Halloween and New Year because the consultants, product reps and contractors choose this time to show their appreciation or make their name known. I wonder if they could spread it out a little to the rest of the year?

My mom had an idea that I should act as a food critic for all the goodies that come into the office. If I don't have time to photograph and write about the food, I don't have time to eat it. This will apply to all non-meal foods.

In addition, it will actually make me decide if I really like something I'm eating. If I don't like it, why finish it, right?

Seems like a fun adventure, so let's see how this experiment goes. What holiday treat are you looking forward to?
