Fridays seem to be the epicenter for all the grandmas in the office to bring in their baked goods. By sheer coincidence, I see another Doper started a thread today about eating less and losing weight.

This morning I was lamenting how I had to drill a notch to let out my belt around Christmas and discovered while getting dressed today I probably could stand to drill another notch but have run out of leather to do so. I am positive all the office treats are a major contributing factor. I have to learn how to say no to the brownies I pass by a half dozen times a day.
