Staff Room Sabotage

Wherever it is that you reside during your working hours there is always a place to go to enjoy your breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack time pick-me-up. Usually there is a special room that provides you with an environment to sit down, regroup and enjoy your chosen fare for a short period of time. It’s a gathering place where you chat, enjoy the company of co-workers and prepare yourself to take on the rest of your day until the workday whistle sounds and you head out the door.

This special room that provides you with an environment to refuel your body, take a load off and chat is typically an area that is just salivating to sabotage your goals and aspirations for a healthier, lighter you. Are you thinking about an area in your workplace that fits this bill? It’s the kind of place you walk into with all the willpower and focus that you can muster and then within an instant this room seems to strip you, at times, of all your determination and self-discipline. Could it be the array of massive muffins or the splattering of trail mixes? Do the high calorie treats left by your co-workers seem to velcro themselves to you and the only way you can fight their grip is to nibble away at their being? Eventually you escape their vice and depart with a sense of defeat and disappointment. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Well fear no more that room of disrupt and impair. Below you will discover ways to handle yourself when entering such a location.
