The Holiday 15

If your office looks anything like ours, it's being overtaken by holiday goodies. Countless baskets of truffles, cookies and other sugary delights make it difficult to avoid packing on a few holiday pounds. This Yahoo! Hot Jobs article offers some tips on how to avoid overindulging at the office over the next few weeks:

  • Figure out which food temptations you can control. Order a platter of fruit instead of cookies for your next staff meeting. Ask your staff to stash junk food in their drawers.
  • Resist food pushers. If the "food pusher" in your office is a friend, try to find things you can do together that don't involve food--like taking a walk.
  • Be flexible. Instead of an all-or-nothing attitude, try focusing on controlling what you eat for two meals a day.
