Can't Take the Temptation!!!

in 2nd Trimester
I work at a church, and every time something happens, the staff workroom gets flooded with goodies.  Every time an old lady reads an inspirational passage, there's a plate of homemade cookies.  When there's a funeral, there's always cake.  When one of the preschool teachers has a birthday..here come the cupcakes!  A choir has a party, and the lemon bars roll in. There is no escaping it, and it's nonstop! I normally have no willpower to begin with and try to stay out of the workroom as much as possible, but now people bring me plates of the stuff because they all want to feed the pregnant girl.  I think I'm going to have to schedule a one-week vacation before my glucose test.  Anyone have any tips on strengthening my willpower?

    That is sooo funny. No tips for you sorry....could use some myself. Everybody at my job wants to feed me too. It's kinda cute. This oriental guy makes the most wonderful Pansit ever and his wife sends some with him for me all the time. He says it will make a big strong boy! I don't even know what I'm having but we'll see.

    I can't help you. I was just told to eat more because I'm not gaining.

     

    Also, now I'm craving Lemon bars. 

     

    Oh - maybe you should pick the most gossipy person and say something like  "I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings because it's so sweet and generous that everyone is baking for me, but I'm worried about gestational diabetes so when I get stuff, I'm only going to have a tiny bit and then I'll put it in the workroom for everyone to share." Then trust Gossipmonger to spread the word.

    Also - you could go in one time and put a few things on a plate and munch on them over the course of the day. One lemon bar eaten slowly should be alright.

     

    mmm....lemon bars....

    This is perfect!  The Gossipmonger will take care of everything!  It might be too late, though.  I just had a second plate of goodies delivered...2 slices of chocolate pound cake and two cookies.  I guess they really think I'm eating for two!  It's out of control!
